2017-18 Gear Teasers

[Philpug]

In the coming weeks before SIA, we will be seeing some of next years gear leaked and information coming out. Lets keep it here. While I don't have any pics to post....yet...I will start by teasing you with all new Brahmas and Bonafides coming from Blizzard. Sidecut will be dropping from just over 20M to the upper teens. Thats all I can say for now but expect more soon.

Specifically wondering if there are any planned changes for the Technica Mach 1 LV or the Atomic Hawx Ultra.... or any changes to low volume boots for that matter. Debating on pulling trigger on new lv boots this season vs next?

Mach1 will have new colors, men's come back basically unchanged. With the Hawx Ultra being new, I doubt a change for this year.

I like that black prototype look. The black Enforcers looked terrific when they came out. Better than the official topsheets in my opinion.

I was just saying that!!

I dunno if they look better or not, but they do generate buzz and make people feel cool. That counts for something.

Dropping the sidecut on Bonafides sounds like a strange move, the ski was already easy to turn and more sidecut would make it hookier of trail. Of course the truth is in the on-snow test.

Will the lange ZB be changing? Oooooh! Maybe new boots!

Elan has 3 prototype skis that they offered to the public for feedback. 90ish waist on one, one frontside and one GS. Not sure what the specs are on any of them, but My friend got 2, so I'll post pictures next week when I see him most likely.

Word from Head is that the Monsters went to finishing school. Again, more to come.

You mean new grinds? Seriously though, that sounds good. Also I guess there is a whole new free ski range, they got rid of that helicopter stuff, Collective, etc...

I have to keep up with the current year colors!

Elan will be changing their consumer race models (LSX, GSX), is the word here in Europe. Still Amphibio, though... Blizzard changes the allmountain line (Bonafide, Brahma, etc.), and Head will overhail its freeride line. Will probably test most of these from the end of March.
