Aptly named, the Mindbender series is all about becoming one with the mountain, being in tune with creamy turns and pow-slashing runs that leave your heart racing and your mind soaring. Get ready to rip, because you’ve got the K2 MindBender 98TI Alliance Ski strapped on and there’s almost nowhere this stick isn’t willing to go.
Probably the most versatile women’s ski K2 has ever designed, the 98TI features the perfect width underfoot for tackling low-snow groomer days, full blown powder panic, and every day in between. While it might not be the best choice for waist-deep days, it will hold its own after a fresh six inches, then take you down the groomers like a champion once your legs are aching at the end of the day. Early rise in the tip sails effortlessly through the soft stuff, helps you dodge crud, and initiates turns on fresh corduroy; classic camber underfoot pops effortlessly from one turn to the next, with a flat tail for added stability at high speeds.
At the core of the Mindbender Collection lies K2’s Torsion Control Philosophy, the idea that edge grip and powder performance need not be mutually exclusive. With this in mind K2 developed a few tech solutions, including the Titanal Y-Beam laminate—which makes an appearance in the 98TI. This metal laminate brings precision and stability to the lightweight aspen core, dampening vibrations when you encounter chopped pow, and creating a stable platform for zipping groomers at top speed.
Rossignol’s Women’s Experience 76 CI Ski loves to zoom down steep, firm groomers, but has the profile and the personality to get you through a variety of conditions. Its 76 millimeter waist and generous underfoot camber is undoubtedly frontside oriented, yet the progressive, freeride-inspired sidecut and tip rocker can tackle softer snow, too.
Rossignol’s Line Control Technology keeps the Experience 76 CI impressively stable and easy to control at speed, while the poppy poplar wood core and carbon reinforcements add energy, responsiveness, and an quick, snappy feel. Air Tip VAS boasts integrated dampening filters in the tip of the ski, which offers a more consistent power transfer and an overall lighter swing weight for a confidence-inducing ride that you’ll enjoy virtually any day of the season.
Huh skiers jeff from ski essentials calm. I’m here on a tuesday morning at stone. Mountain resort skiing these new 2018. Sorry it’s not not 2018 2019 rossignol. Experience 88 ti really exciting we’ve. Had same shape in the experience series. For a long time now and i think most of. Us were ready for a new one and we got. It finally so that’s pretty exciting slightly smaller turn radius or rocker. In the tip a lot earlier taper in the. Tip you remember on the old ski and had that extended side cut profile so the. The Widest point on the ski was way up at the end and that’s not quite true anymore now you get this nice early tapered tip so still rips on groomers. You know the experience 88 it’s always been kind of carving ski oriented. All-mountain ski definitely. Constructions a little different this year and i think that that retains kind. Of the improvements in construction retains its performance on groomers. Maybe even a little bit more energetic probably definitely a little bit quieter. At damper and you know i think it’s a. Lot more manageable in soft snow i think. The old ski was at times a little catchy and soft snow and this new one kind. Of cuts through the snow a little better so I’m gonna head into the office, and we. Will finish this review back at the ski essentials warehouse talk a little bit more about construction all that. Type of stuff and for now we’ll say goodbye to your snow mountain resort for the day but you know we’ll be back. Tomorrow so no big deal. Hi skiers jeff from the ski essentials comm we’re here today to do another 2019. Skier review this time it’s the 2019. Rossignol experience 88 ti pretty. Exciting stuff they’ve changed the. Experience line we’re doing another review of the experience 94 so check. That one out too kind of new waist. Width with the 94, but we’re gonna focus on the 88 here. Let’s talk there’s quite a lot of. Changes to this ski and I’m gonna run. Through them fairly quickly as quick as. I can while still covering or doing them all justice so to speak so let’s start. With shape, and then we’ll go into construction changes some significant. Changes to the shape of this ski so rossignol calls it progressive side cut. In this ski and they also have an. All-terrain rocker in it now too. But let’s talk first let’s just talk about kind of the noticeable differences in the ski to me the first. Noticeable difference is this tip shape you can see this is the 2018 experience. 88 you can see how wide this tip was. Used what rossignol called extended side cut this new progressive side cut much. Earlier taper in the shovel of the. Ski which corresponds to rocker as. Well so longer rocker these are two. Different lengths but i think you can see the difference so longer rocker in the new experience 88 much. Earlier taper so way different tip. Shape there the tails there’s some. Difference in the tail shape too i would say it’s not as pronounced as the. Difference in the tip shape but a little bit earlier taper in the tail and a little bit more tail rocker as well but. That tip shape is way different you can. See the influence from the sky 7 models they’re more. Freebie oriented models like this one 7. So definitely they’ve taken a little bit of influence from that ski and given it to this new ski construction then so. This ski used what rosman called carbon. Alloy matrix you can go back and look at. This review if you want to learn more about carbon l and matrix as a material it’s basically a carbonyl carbon. Application that it’s kind of proprietary to rossignol we’ve talked. About a lot in the sole 7 and sky 7 reviews too so carbon alloy matrix. Remains in this ski and the a8 as well. And the difference here is that they now. Have what rossignol calls line control. Technology which is a theme and. Technology that’s carried through a lot. Of their skis with some different materials so basically I’m going to do a close-up image of this ski but the. Big the key difference here there’s now. A vertical strip of metal that runs. Through the ski which you can actually see in the top sheet so if you can. Imagine a core you know like that that metal is basically in the middle of the. Core vertically so you know we see a lot. Of horizontal metal laminates really. Don’t see many vertical pieces of metal in a ski so pretty cool so the point of it rossignol says that. It reduces counter flexing of the ski which is basically another term for just. Decreasing unnecessary movement stays a. Lot quieter kind of gives it that. Stability definitely some extra vibration damping in this ski from the metal compared to the old experience 88. Which always kind of felt not chattery. But not like not excessively damn. Or not not very damp compared to some. Skis with more metal even just this single strip on that single vertical. Strip not much metal but it went a long. Way and quieting down the ski and then. Going back to kind of the shape of the. Ski and what it does to performance i. Always thought of the previous experience 88 as a wide carving ski with. Those extended tips and tails it always held an edge really well really long. Effective edge is. Something that we kind of is becoming a key topic when we’re talking about skis due to the amount of rocker and early. Taper those things both go into effective edge but very long effective. Edge on the experience 88 which sometimes made it hard to make different. Turn shapes this new ski it’s got. Progressive side cut instead of that. Extended side cut does have any tip. Construction to which also quiets down the ski because it is rocker. In the tip, so they need it to kind of strengthen this ski and there’re some reinforcements much like this guy seven. But the tip shape the rocker profile the. Early taper everything all works. Together and this new experience 88 and. Allows you to release your tail edge much easier i think you can manipulate. Turn shapes was easier on this ski if. You want a skid or smear or pivot of. Turn it lets you wear the previous. Version took quite a bit of skier. Input to get it to do that and then didn’t do it easily it wasn’t always easy to get the tail of the ski to swing around you can definitely do that. A lot easier on the new version which in my opinion makes it a lot more fun and a. Lot more rewarding to ski in groomed. Snow conditions so moguls trees back. Bowls that kind of stuff a more forgiving fun feel in this new. Ski and i think because they have this. Line control technology which really. Focuses on kind of the center the cambered portion of the ski you still. Have a really high performing. Ski when you’re trying to just lay down carves and it almost i think it actually. Links carves better kind of to focus on. A rocker in the hips a little bit here this new ski has a lot longer rocker. Profile where the previous version of. The experience 88 pretty short rises. Rocker and you really had to deke amber. The ski if you can see me d cambering it. The tip starts to rise off the snow a lot more so when you were linking turns. You had to de camber the ski too really. Get it into the next carving turn and. This new experience 88 it’s. Basically doing that first bit of d. Camber and for you because the tip. Rocker exists without d cambering the. Ski it enters into a turn a lot easier. So totally new ski definitely some. Significant changes from the old 88 to the new idiot but i think they did a. Really good job and i think. Pretty much anybody that skied an. Experienced 88 will prefer the new. Version and in my opinion the small. Percentage of skiers who might not you. Could make the argument that that skier it is probably better off on a carving. Ski because if you’re if you’re. Basically spending all your time on groomed snow you might not need the. Ability to release your tail edge or maybe you really focus on linking. Carving turns like gs style carving. Turns to that skier i think there’s. More appropriate skis out there’s there’s carving specific skis even from. Rossignol there’s some more carving specific models and i think that would. Be my response to down the road if anybody excuse the new ski and doesn’t. Like it as much as the old ski they’re probably really focusing on carving for. Their own skiing you can still. Absolutely carve on the new experience 88 still really feels like a. High-performance carving ski when you want it to but it’s so much more. Versatile now i think a little bit. Easier to ski overall not that the. Experience 88 was challenging really to. Ski but smoother turn initiation is. Smoother a little quieter i think it. Inspires confidence a little bit more. Then the old experience 88 because it’s so easy to release the tail edge or are. Easier than the old version so pretty. Cool i think it was time for a new experience 88 i think they’re they’re. Really following the demands of skiers. Nicely the modern skier most skiers. These days want more a shape like this. Then the previous experience 88 because. Of that versatility you can do a lot. More with one ski or do a lot more. Easily with one ski compared to the. Previous version definitely i brought. This guy 7 up here because i think. There’s definitely something to be said. About how these new ski is kind of blend. The performance of the whole experience and the free ride line the sky and the cin7 sky and install 7 that’s been a few. Years since uh since 7 existed but yeah. I think they did a really good job definitely was more versatile ski. High-performance feel still but they got. Away from kind of that extended side cut. Which i think was a smart decision i think most years will really. Appreciate the increased versatility and. In this new experience 88 so yeah that’s. The experience 88 like i said this is the 94 there’re more skis within this line you may see us do some additional. Experience reviews many more of those. Excuse will be included in our 2019 ski. Test that’s happening in march and the. Results of that will be released in the summer so if you don’t see a more. In-depth review like this on the different experience keys you will see a. Lot of results from the 2019 ski test so it’s gonna be a lot of information there and in the meantime we’ll do our best to. Get on some other new Ross’s and. Let you know we think but pretty exciting brand-new experience 88 check them out if you haven’t already will be. Skiing them a little bit more there’s a loon demo coming up so if are our opinions change or if we try them a new terrain and have something to add we’ll certainly let you know but thus far we’re pretty darn impressed by these new. Skis so thank you we appreciate it and. We will see you guys on the slopes.
Hi nick a signaler with the rossignol. And I’m here with ski gear tv buyer’s. Guide for 2013 we’re looking at the experience 76 part of the new experience. Line for us last year which has gone over very well and been a big seller the. Experience 76 as the name implies as 76. Ml underfoot. Features rousing top cap construction. Throughout for enhanced durability and snappy feel also the big seller is. Auto turn rocker which is featured on the entire experience line auto turn rocker is a tip and tail rocker with. Traditional camber throughout 70% of the ski underfoot the new 76 features helium. Integrated binding system for 2013 which. Is an all-new integrated system that’s ultra lightweight with all the reliable release and retention that you’d find in. Our high-end body line. The experience 76 is great for that. Advanced-intermediate skier who wants a. Versatile one ski quiver check out the experience 76 at your local rising oil dealer for 2013.
Hi I’m tom i just got gone riding the rossignol experience 76 cl brand-new ski. From rossignol this year and this thing is an absolute blast that’s for sure aim. For your beginner to kind of mid intermediate skier but this thing just exudes confidence for somebody that’s really looking at going from that kind of skidded and slid smear turn to a. Really proficient carve this is a fantastic tool to do that with it’s really easy to maneuver in a dodge skid and smear with relative ease but for a. Ski at this level it really gets up on the edge and rails a turn there are very few skis at this price point that can ski as aggressively as this thing do i definitely aim for on trail performance but a little bit of an all-mountain tip shape so as the slopes get chewed up at the end of the day that things still gonna perform great for you.
Hey I’m kyle i just got gone riding the rossignol experience 76 see i was a good. Ski for your beginner through advanced intermediate the beginner level it’s. Super easy to slide around and it’s not. Overly stiffed where it’s gonna kick your butt for an advanced. Intermediate who’s starting to link their turns or really actually start to carve it holds an edge really well it’s pretty icy today and i didn’t really have any issues there it’s got carbon in. It so it’s got some stiffness to it but. It’s not something that’s overly stiff and it’s gonna beat you up your beginner.
Either dino-dude neck with rossignol here at bob chalet to talk to you about the new rossignol experience men’s and. Women’s collection of skis the. Experience family of skis for rossignol is really our cash cow this is a family of skis known as all-mountain and. Deliver and they deliver a ton of freedom new this year from rossignol is. This entire family of men’s and women’s we continue with the same profiling of. The ski with with regards to the number. That will denote the waist dimension so in this case the experience 88 our number one best-selling high-performance model 88 millimeters light under the foot if you see me refer to a model that. Is known as an experienced 74 you’re. Going to note that that ski off obviously is 74 millimeters narrower. Going to be used for more recreational application what’s new in the new. Experience family we bet it will refer. To as all-terrain rocker ii so all. Terrain rocker is where the nose of the ski the for body and the tail of the. Skis have about a 30% walking. Characteristic meaning that the camber pocket is about 70% of the length of the. Ski all terrain rocker ring is it going. To allow the ski to adapt to various snow conditions much more efficiently that the ski doesn’t have quite as much. Tip pressure as the previous family of experience models a progressive. Sidecut we refer to the site cut is the. Amount of taper that takes place from the shovel to the waist of the ski into the tail a progressive side cut in this. New family refers to the fact that each one of the models of skis in this. Experienced family that site cut shaped changes per model and per model changes. The width dimension as well line control technology is where rossignol is being able to split the core of the ski and. We’ve added an internal vertical laminate that runs from the shovel from. The tip of the ski down the center all. The way to the tail of the ski so a line control technology tip-to-tail is found on every model, and we vary the material that’s going to be found in the center of the core in this particular case the new experience cd8 t i refers to the fact. That this ski has got a titanium vertical sheet that runs tip to tail down the middle of a core as i go. Through various models you’re gonna hear me refer to carbon, so we have some models that will have a carbon inlay and. Some model will have a report we refer to as a softer material known as abs all. Of them refer to line control technology. Another feature is the air tip va s. You’re gonna see a new tip profile that’s a little lower profile doesn’t. Have us much lift it’s a little fatter it’s a little cleaner a little smoother and the same is going to be true on the. Tail that’s here and then notice that the amount of lift and the amount of. Taper and the amount of rocker that’s taking place in the tail is significantly different in this particular case the experience 88 can be a belt is purchased and available either. Flat or sold as a system there you see it here a model referred to as an experienced 80 means it’s going to be 80 millimeters underfoot on underfoot the. Experienced 80 is going to be a little bit more suited for an aggressive intermediate level skier somebody who skis the whole mountain they want a. Little bit of width in order to enjoy softer snow conditions maybe a little bit of narrowness to enjoy maybe of an occasional bump run in this particular model it’s sold integrated only so it. Comes with a lock binding as you can see this is known as the look in x n x heel. Here we refer to the atc eye meaning. That the line control technology is. Going to be a reference point that there’s gonna the ski is going to have a vertical strip of carbon that runs tip to tail this experience 76 referred to. As the ci referring to carbon inlay so. Lion control technology is the brand-new call-out on the rossignol family of skis. This year carbon inlay refers to the vertical strip that runs tip to tail. Greatly enhancing the skis ability for better edge hold the new shape of the. Tail and the rock ring the nose profile. Allows the skis to be more playful and. Yes more versatile as well so this. Particular model is pretty exciting colorway sold as a system only with the. Look in ex binding hi thanks for. Watching to the end for more viewings.

The Salomon Women’s X Max 110 Ski Boot has all the elements of a performance-first boot, but throws a generous helping of comfort into the mix so you can ski fast and hard from first to last chair. A stiff 110 flex is suitable for advanced to expert lady shredders, and the 98-millimeter last, while narrow, can be expanded to about 104 millimeters, thanks to Salomon’s easy heat molding process. Salomon designed this boot with an oversized pivot, which reduces play and increases precision and power transmission.
The liner is thermo-moldable, too, with thermo-moldable inserts that prevent pressure points and ensure a secure fit, and is women-specific, meaning that it has a slightly lower cuff and volume to give you the best possible fit and feel. Fuzzy material on the inside of the liner delivers plush comfort and warmth, which you’ll appreciate on the coldest days of the season.
Okay so this is gary gannett realm of sun valley in san mateo california helm sports calm and in this video i want to cover the sum and xmax 90 this is a boot. For or for women and it is a ninety. Eight millimeter last boot which is going to fit a b with two ac with kind. Of foot very well but more importantly. This boot hat is custom shall it’s a. Different kind of material where we heat. The shell up in an oven to about 200 degrees and then put it on your foot and wherever you have a bony prominence or if your foot or four foot is wider or any part of your foot is wider the shell physically moves out and takes the shape. Of those wider areas or those bony prominences and you’re on your foot so. It’s quite an advancement in boot up in. Boot technology it’s really amazing not. Only that it has some thermal moldable. Materials in the liner too and what that is an intuition like material. Closed-cell foam that gets heated up also during the customization process and it further does some sculpting to. You to your foot so it really is quiet. A good fitting boot and fits many types of feet because of that custom show this is not a walking boot so it’s. A little bit less of money because of that typical sole that sort of thing but. A great boot for a lady who is a good. Intermediate to advanced level type of. Skier and it’s been extremely popular here at home so yeah if you found this. Video helpful please give me the big thumbs up down at the bottom and if you have any cuts any questions or comments you can comment down in the comment section that would be great, and we’ll get back to you alright thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.

As the slimmest ski in Nordica’s Santa Ana Fleet, the Women’s Santa Ana 93 Ski is a great choice for ladies who love to rip down pristine groomers, but desire the freedom to venture to the backside on occasion. The 93-millimeter waist is nimble and fast on hardpack and corduroy, but won’t leave you thinking you brought the wrong skis when an unexpected storm dumps a foot of fresh. Thanks to the early rise tip and tail, each turn you make is easy to initiate and easy to release for a smooth, maneuverable feel, while underfoot camber enhances edge grip for confidence and control.
A lightweight wood core sandwiched in between layers of carbon and Titanal gives the Santa Ana 93 a perfect blend of pop, stability, and edge-to-edge power transfer for a smooth, stable ride. And, to top off this balanced package, an impressively short turn radius means you can dance through tight trees and down wide open bowls with effortless agility.
Hey guys michelle here from the house comm and today I’m talking about the 2018 nordica santa ana 93 women’s ski so. Just to jump right into it this is really a do-it-all ski for a girl that knows what she’s doing it’s for an intermediate to advanced level rider for a couple reasons that we’ll get into and it’s great for all-mountain specifically but it’s gonna have a lot of floats and powder and if you want to do some freestyle moves or hit the park a little bit its diverse enough to take you there and let you be successful as well so the profile of. This as you might be able to see on the video it’s kind of hard to tell but there’s a pretty heavy camber right in the center here it’s called the all-mountain cam rock nordica calls it. So it’s gonna push the contact point of the rocker in the front back 25% with. The way that they’re doing it now in the tail five percent so it’s gonna give you. With the rocker in the front and increased float while the camber care is gonna give you increased velocity and. Maneuverability and powder as well as. Just on groomers too so and it’s gonna have a turn initiation too, so we have cambered underfoot here and then a really early rise rocker in the nose so you’ll notice if you push here is if your weight is on the ski the contact point is extremely early rise um so the. Contact when is getting really far back pretty far back especially since this is considered an all about in ski that’s that’s more of a classic powder. Ski i would say so for that reason with. These skis you’ll notice that your contact points are a little bit shorter in general even in the back of it here too, so we would recommend that you do size up just a little bit compared to what you might normally be used to in other skis so to get into the specs of. This it’s 1:24 width under nose 93. Underfoot and then one 12 in the tail. The base of these skis is centered and the edges are full steel so it’s a very. Well-made ski and it does have a really. Really cool design on top i really like the top sheet it does feel super high-quality we also have some interesting technology with these skis, so we have a hammerhead nose and that’s gonna maximize the contact and it’s also kind of gonna reduce some vibrations that you might experience at high speed so it’s a very high quality and very well-designed ski now we do have a. Partial twin tip and in the core we have poplar beach and. Balsa icore so it’s gonna make it very lightweight but still super high. Performing board we have a lot of materials going into this board now with the flex of this kind of experimenting with it myself i would definitely say that’s a medium flex so it’s gonna be a little bit softer in the nose and a little bit. Stiffer in the tail so and obviously when you manage keys it’s a little further back so it’s gonna give you that. Turn initiation that you need but it’s gonna be a little bit softer in the front so you can get up and powder and it’s easy to maneuver still so with the laminate of this we have sheets of carbon along the edges and it gives you really good edge hold an edge grip now if you have any problems with this ski you have a one-year warranty through nordica so you can contact them with any problems that you run into now you can find the 2018 at nordica santa and a 93 women’s skis at the house calm.
Your grandma’s old ski poles are dope, but the wrist straps broke off two seasons ago, and that bend on the right pole isn’t for racing, so it’s time for the Salomon Women’s Angel Ski Pole. The Angel has a classic look that will match your retro vibe perfectly, and a thoroughly modern 16mm aluminum shaft that will handle everything from pillow lines to groomer hot laps.

With a design that boasts Tecnica’s anatomically shaped shell for a precise and comfortable fit, and tech fittings that allow you to use your lightweight pin-style AT bindings, the Cochise is a true quiver-of-one boot you can use both in bounds and out.
Tecnica has carved out a reputation for building some of the highest performing all-mountain and race boots on the market, and the Women’s Cochise 105 Ski Boot is no different.

This was my first season using the. Cochise 105 w and i would recommend it to anyone who wants one boot for both resort and back country access the Cochise 105 blends performance and versatility and a boot that can handle both the resort and the back country the. The Best part about this boot are the low tech inserts which are dena fits certified these inserts make the boot compatible with any binding alpine or. Touring however if you find yourself spending more time in the back country a couple screws in the bottom will allow you to easily change to rubber toe and heel pieces the hike mode on this boot gives you 44 degrees of movement in the cuff a wide range of motion that is clutch for skinning up hill although i use it just as much in the resort when I’m walking from the lifts to get some hot pizza this boot has a ninety-nine millimeters last making ideal for women. Who have an arrow shaped foot however technical’s custom adaptive shaped shell has special perforations in the plastic making punch outs and customization easier and more effective for a boot fitter plus the shell is 30% thinner than a standard boot which reduces its weight as the name suggests this boot comes in. At a 105 flex rating putting it on the stiff end for a women’s boot a 105 flex is great for intermediate to advanced skiers the liner in this boot also features the cas system it’s warm comfortable lightweight and has a low pack out rate meaning a liner will last for many seasons and maintain its shape one of my favorite features on this boot is the quick instep which allows the shell to open up and give your foot lots of room when getting in and out of the boot the Cochise 105 is the perfect boot for me i love that i only need one boot and can easily transition from using alpine binding to a tech binding.
Okay hi I’m craig dosti with the start. House and i just want to talk to you a little bit today about another one of our back countryside country worthy. Boots the technical Cochise which is a. Really awesome boot for a number of reasons number one it’s a technical it’s. A well-made boot the other thing is it’s. Got a removable soul logs so you can use. Either an alpine din binding or you can. Change the log out which you come standard with the Cochise pro lite and. You can have dynafit fittings on it ok. So it’s good for any kind of binding that you want to use with it by just changing out those lugs the Cochise pro. Comes with an alpine caliber liner which. Really gives you a lot more power and it. Comes with what i consider be one of the finest features of the Cochise and that is this buckled power strap so you can. Cinch this up really tight and then really lock it down the other thing is all these boots have a good walk mode. That’s what makes them a back country booth by as compared to a regular alpine. Boot and when you go to out to walk mode. With this boot you just flip this up and then it’s really easy to open the buckle. Here and open the vocal here and you get a ton of range of motion I’ll demonstrate this is the Cochise prolite. And I’ve already loosened the buckles and you can see i can really get my leg. Back quite a ways which makes walking. Really comfortable or skinning uphill. Super comfortable as well and so they. Only have a difference with the Cochise light it does not have this buckle power. Strap as a regular power strap just to save on weight and it uses a plow heat. Foldable liner which also saves you a. Lot of weight as well another one of the great options that we offer here at the start house for going back country side country or slide country.
Hi I’m stefano from technical we are here. At the company today and i just want to tell you briefly what happened when we. Construct when we thought when we build the new croce’s first of all we start. From the old Cochise we use that booth now for five years, so we know basically all the points that we need to improve. In that boots plus we work a lot with our athletes they are today summit. Meeting we met them twice a year, so we listen from them we try to catch all. Idea possible to implement them into the. New development that’s how we start so improving the existing coaches and adding all their all the true the real needs of our best skier which we ever. Run in the world so the goal we put on. The table for the new coaches was to make the boots lighter but yes lighter but also we want to put into the boots. The best performance possible and when we say the best performance possible it’s listening to our athletes they want. To have a racing boots they want to have a boot which you can almost race in yes. You can go use a long gs key go as fast as you can and the boot should hold those kind of headphone performance so. As light as possible with the most. Performant possible shape talking about. The shape coming from the old Cochise we. Want to make the boot slimmer narrower slimmer more tight have a. Better wrapping around your feet have a better shape so if you see compared to the old Cochise the boot is much slimmer much closer to your. Feet like i said our goal was to make. The boots like and perform it. Lightweight the goal was to go below 2 kilos in poly ether and you know poly ether. Is the best plastic you can use is the best plastic in terms of performance the best rebound is the most alive plastic we can put is the plastic they are using in workup so, but we know it’s a le. Plastic so the goal was to make it light and would be below 2 kilos and here we are. One kilo 960 970 now for the new Cochise. 130 in poly ether the new mechanism. That’s a long story when we start was two years ago with our athletes, and they. Had only one goal they said the MacLeish should be as strong as the worker booth. And when we talk about work at boots we know we have to screw so basically they want to have a locking system which is. Yes strong but the solo key system that. Where they can trust under percent when they make beam jump or when they really push the boots over the limit, so we make the new mechanism and what is. New in this mechanism strong they’re. Integrated into the calf we try to integrate to put it integrated the most. Possible and the system is able to adjust himself that means if in by using the boots you. Will get some place some extra movement. Which you don’t want to have the system will be able to adjust and go back to have always the best blocking the most. Solid connection another important point. Was to put the maximum possible range of. Motion and I’m talking about the leg the. Leg motion so first freedom completely. Freedom soft extremely soft when you are. Moving the calf, and we position a range of motion mostly to the front because we. Mostly climb we mostly go the steeper terrain and you need to have the boots which is flexed very nice soft with. Without effort to the front another. Interesting feature the fact that we. Have no hunting we figured our if you is. You want to have the canting immediately you have some play because you. This play allowed the canteen to move, so we don’t want to have any place so that means having a the time stood tightest. Connection possible between the calf and the shell it means no canteen super solid connection big difference. Compared to the old Cochise it’s now the low-tech insert are the real dyna fit. And they are integrated into the short. So the sole are not interchangeable like. In the orchestra they are integrated into the sole this give a lot of. Versatility and we combined with sky walk. So real good quality rubber would have. The best hiking performance lift lock a. Patent things from technical we are used. To when we put the boots on and off we. Are used to do like this and then bend this path right so now what we change. It’s very simple you open the buckle you use your leaf lock step in step out of the boots very. Easy and when you wanna buckle just lift it go in position and close a very cool. Feature simple to step in step out. Of your boots very easily. You.

Switching between skis as conditions and objectives change is nice. Switching between boots isn’t quite as great, especially when your feet have made a cozy little niche for themselves in your go-to boots. Luckily for your feet, K2 has built the Women’s Minaret 100 Ski Boot to do it all, so you can wear the same pair of boots when you take your lightweight touring set up out to the backcountry, load up your mid-fats for a little all-mountain slaying.
Modeled after the K2 Pinnacle, the Minaret houses all of the same features, but sports a roomier 100mm last and medium flex for a more forgiving feel. It utilizes the same Synchro Interlock walk mode as the Pinnacle, which forgoes rivets in favor of an interlocking wedge and V-lock mechanism to lock the shell and cuff together once the boot is in ski mode, eliminating play. Adding to the overall stiffness of the boot is the Powerfuse Spyne, which extends from the cuff to the shell to deliver a more responsive and confidence-inspiring feel during the descent. The Minaret comes ready to step into just about any binding you might own with a DIN-compatible sole attached and tech fittings installed. K2 also offers a lugged Vibram sole (sold separately) if you’re planning on spending a lot of time in the backountry.

On the slimmer end of Liberty’s line of Genesis skis with a 96mm waist, these planks are well equipped for handling slick groomers and off-trail hardpack, with just enough fat to take advantage of hidden powder stashes. Like all Liberty skis, the Genesis 96 is made with a bamboo and poplar core, and it’s been laminated with carbon fiber to knock your socks off with its snappy yet lightweight strength.
The Genesis 96’s new Stealth Rocker profile ditches the twin tips in favor of a flat tail and early rise in the shovel.

This all-mountain pole has a bias for freeriding powder days just like the rest of the skiers at the resort. As for your chairlift battles, nobody has seen a war this epic since the windmill fiasco in the early 1600s.
No matter how pure your love for skiing is, it’s hard to go on when your feet are screaming. Tecnica designed the Women’s Mach1 95 LV Ski Boot for narrow-footed intermediate to advanced skiers who want to shred from bell to bell in comfort. The medium 95 flex isn’t overly aggressive, and the narrow 98mm last keeps low volume feet from sliding all over the place.
The CAS shell and liner work together to feel great out of the box, but are both easily customizable for a more precise individual fit. Tecnica went super techy with its Mach1 line and utilized Celliant and Lambswool Heat, which uses thermoreactive minerals to convert body heat into Infrared energy, increasing circulation, blood flow, and oxygen. Bottom line—no more numb feet. The Quick Instep makes it easy to slip this boot on and off, even if you were too lazy to bring them inside last night and they’re a little frosty.
