Report from the Snow: 2021 Waterville Valley Demo

[GregK]

any news on new blackops 110 or menace 98 replacement and specs?

anyone test the new m6?

The new Dynastar MFree 99 was shown in the Skitalk Facebook video and heard from a few people online it skis just like a lighter, quicker MFree 108. Hear the sizes are going to be 171, 179 and 185cm with 128/99/120 dimensions. Not sure of turn radius yet but assuming around 20m in the 185cm as it’s almost identical to 186cm MPro 99 dimensions and it’s 22m. Guessing weight around 2050 grams in the 185cm but hoping that length is a bit beefed up.

I’ve only seen pics of the new Black Ops twin but no specs yet.

Reviews from @Philpug on the M6 on this site and Ski Essentials did a video review a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure if anyone got on the BlackOps 110. We really weren't getting that kind of snow until afternoon on the last day and I know I didn't get on anything bigger than 106 under foot.

Phil and I have a preview up about the M6/Secret 96.

Preview: - 2022 Völkl M6 Mantra and Secret 96

There are a few ski models that might be more important to a brand than the brand itself; one of those is the Völkl Mantra. Not much can be said about the importance of the Mantra’s place in history that has not already been said, but we will try...

True, but a big segment of the industry is still judging that whole category because of that.

In my experience, it's about 1 customer in 500.

I like the new Stockli SR graphics!

Sounds good! Yes, the Oslo airport doesn’t do that.

the oslo airport is no longer in oslo though, but in the middle of nowhere :p

I remember the old one, where we could use <10 mins to get there

The Curv GT looks pretty good when you give it the right pilot.

And no matter what James says, I think the yellow bases are fun.

She’d go faster on black bases...

Still works for me... yellow bases and all.

Something's wrong with the link. Try this one:

Yes that one worked.

See y’all think that’s slo motion video at times. It’s not. What it is is drag from the bases exposed by Matrix-Vision. I can’t tell you about it.
Those goggles will be good when waxing to prevent “base blindness” from staring into the yellow base. It’s the deer syndrome. She might never ski again.

Has any one had a chance to get on these or have any information? Not really seeing much out there so far

 

[Coolhand]

Skied the new Curv GT a couple of weeks ago. One word. WOW! All the precision that you would expect, but with more ease and range than past iterations of the Curv. This will appeal to more skiers. A couple of us in our shop have ordered our own for next season.

Philpug and I both skied it at the Waterville demo.

I really like the new Curv GT..more than the older one, I think because of the new tip design, gone is the older gradual tip and enter the new more traditional design akin to the RC4 CT.. I have been waiting patiently for my pair to arrive. Waiting...waiting....waiting...I hate waiting.

What length Curve GT did you ski?

 

[Philpug]

What length Curve GT did you ski?

Any idea what lengths they will be available in
