Anyone have any pics of the new skis with the names/dimensions and such? I've seen a few pictures of the new skis on their blog and suck but no specs.

Forgot they were on Jibij, but Jibij doesn't have the model im looking for. They have a red and black top sheet I think, and im thinking they are the skis I've been looking for this season.

live life 2's for this year will come with a full 3-stage rocker and also come in 179 and 189 lengths.


josh bishops info isn't entirely up to date since 189 sizing in the live lifes will be offered this season with rockering on the aforementioned ski.

i got this from the newsletter.

upper 90's would be nice, I see the sidewall version is up to a maximum of 92mm versus last years maximum of 90mm.  can anybody confirm upper 90s?

A little on the stiffer side, but tons of pop.

Are there any pics of the rocker on the 2's floating around?  I'm actually pretty interested in these.

Would you say that they are comparable to the Volkl Wall?

Skis look amazing this year, graphics, shapes, and tech features.  What shops will be carrying them this year?

i'd say my 07/08 watch lifes are reasonably stiff in the tail to prevent washing out and strong enough in the nose to avoid chatter, but with enough flex so that someone who has some weight over 160 or good enough to commit their weight to the nose to pull off some nice butters.
