hypothetically will ski very similar to the JJ, i'm intrigued, but i already own their bigger brother (the bentchetler) which skis fine on groomers already.

I know this is dumb, but I wanted to say my opinion

Full red > blue/black > red/white > feces/poop

I don't mind any of them, I would like this years if they had less black nonsense on them

I would not call the chetlers a bigger brother, the skis are distinctly different. It is also 10x better than the pos that armada calls the JJ. Just my opinion, based on skiing all three and many other 'similar' skis.

If anything, the Automatic is a cross between the current Atlas, and Bentchetler.

A vagina version of my 191 Billy Goat. Because I am a way better skier than Dana or Sage...

In all seriousness, it is a much more directional and chargier evolution of what the bentchetler is. It skis bigger than it's runt of a turn radius emplies, and is noticeably damper and stiffer than the chetler, or blog. I would view it as a mix between a blog and Atlas. I thought it was a slightly stiffer idealization of the Opus, essentially a more charge less slarve Opus. A 186 BG is simmilar, but able to pivot more in tight places.
You will see more skis coming out in this category next year as companies realize that skis like the chetler, JJ, s7 and other pieces of shit are not actually that great at dropping a 40 ft cliff at speed into less than ideal conditions, and sometimes you might want to still be able to throw the ski sideways to eat speed. (see what happens when you try and throw a XXL sideways...)

Those K2 goggles look way to much like some Oakleys blendend, only thing they did was adding a SHRED (goggle brand) square nose.. I dont know but thats a pretty pathetic comeback to the goggle scene..

-Oakley crowbars disappear
-K-2 hears the cries of thousands of newschoolers
-K-2 essentially remakes the crowbar and, weather people like them in this thread or not, people will eat them up.

The Automatic has less tail rocker than the Bent too, and it has metal laminates in the rockered areas to help keep it stable when charging. Mounting mine up tomorrow, so psyched to ski these again.

idk about that. they look similar to a crowbar but look pretty funky looking to me. I don't think they'll be very popular unless they're cheap

So here is an insider scoop.

Salomon has expanded their Rocker line to 5 models, down to a 95mm waist. They are cap-wall construction, and look sick.

There are some amazing new touring boots coming out, if that is your thing. Blizzard is making a ski that looks kinda like the Nordica Patron, which are awesome btw.

Salomon's new touring binding is not much more stack height than an ordinary binding, and looks way better than the duke.

Sorry if any of this is reposted.

its actually just a different name for something that has been done before. Not too exciting.

Plus, the square tips are still shit.

Chetlers are fun. S7s are fun if you like slow speed low angle pow turns, and notice else, or suck at skiing and want to buy a half decent turn while looking rad. JJs provide all the stability of a pubescent bi-polar 14 year old going through meth withdrawals while his parents get divorced and going through a break up with his girlfriend because she is banging his 10 year old bro. So ya, they suck more dick and balls than your mother when she is 6 weeks late on her rock payments.

Or so it goes.

i wouldn't say that if I hadn't, they both ski way to short to be used as a decent pow ski for anything other then booters
