Oh, is that what the "Fixing Kirkwood Backside" thread is all about? *feels in-formed*

The current Hoji "sharknose" toe only works with pin-tech bindings and will not work with frame bindings or the Salomon Shift - also has trouble with Fritschi tecton/evo and vipec https://www.wildsnow.com/25175/dynafit-hoji-boot-tecton-evo-vipec-fritschi/-
Does that asymmetrical toe only work with tech bindings?
Now that's good news. I was already thinking everyone are moving into this stupid are of cutting normal bindings away. I already hated my TLT6 for having some stupid cutoff nose and heel, but then I saw Dynafit went all the way in pin bindings only boots and others were starting to follow. Not really nice thing, when you know you do NOT want pin bindingns on your pow skis, yet you still want those skis for touring. But either way, I just heard Atomic guys delivered my new boots to friend who is coming from Gardena and Innichen World cup tomorrow, so I don't need to worry about this for another year or two But for after that, this Hoji Free looks super nice, as I really like Dynafit boots either for work or for touring... even if they are not free like other boots that I can get are.The 2019/2020 Hoji Free will be MNC (Multi-Norm-Compatible) and work with frame bindings, Salomon Shift and other MNC bindings as well as more traditional lightweight "Pin-Tech" bndings.
From what I am hearing....something decent.Woah! Something decent or rental crap to compete with Alpina?
Very good!From what I am hearing....something decent.
IDK, it sounds different. To summarize Hoji Blister interview, '19/'20 Hoji Free new moulds for the lower shell, cuff more rigid, boot will be ~ 20% stiffer then Pro Tour. Revised last, Pro Tour designed for comfort / generous last (too voluminous for me). Free less volume for more of an Alpine last boot without losing Pro Tour walkability. 50g-100g heavier then PT. 1mm to 1.5mm less forefoot width. Toe box height same but 3mm lower under toe buckle area. Heel pocket tuned in and reduced heel width by 1mm.Fingers crossed they bring back the Vulcan last!
...must be peeved, out Fliped par Corvus '18/'19! Vive La France!Blizzard is expanding their Flipcore line.

Actually this one doesn't compete with the Enforcer...and really the Enforcer 88 is to go after the Brahma. But we will see the return of the narrower flip core..in the low 80's to replace the Latigo that was discontinured.Gotta keep up with Nordica's Enforcer line!
Totally different ski than the Latigo though. Much more beef. I skied it a few weeks ago.
Either 163/170/177/184 or 159/166/173/180 I would guess the latter because there will be a Black Pearl 82 also and going smaller is more important than going above 180.care to divulge the sizing breaks?

I doubt we will see a change to them...this coming year.replacing the 78, any changes to 88/98? I'm about to buy my wife some new skis to replace her old samba and would hate to miss something new coming since I'm already paying full price for 19's at this point...
the idea was bp 88 / sheeva 10 quiver, now that might change!
Yes, they are expanding into nordic...and will be releasing a womens specific collection.Expect an expanded range from Kästle. In a recent interview Clemens Tinzl one of their new directors said that they were going to double the size of their range, many of the new skis will probably be nordic skis. They are advertising for an assistant product manager to cover alpine and nordic https://www.kaestle.com/fileadmin/u...hreibungen/Assistenz_im_Produktmanagement.pdf
