Well, the season hasn't even ended for some lucky few out in CO and UT, but DPS has already teased us with a picture of a new pair of skis. Looks VERY different than what they normally produce.

In his post he answers someone's question about the shape calling it a revival of the ARG but they are trying to find a way to make it manageable on hardpack on your way back from stashes. I thought that what was the Bubba was supposed to be but it would appear that the Bubba must not have sold as well as they were hoping. Hence the redesign.

If it is an improvement of the old ARG I would love to have one in my quiver for the best of days.

The new hype in the ski industry seems to release some "limited-high-performance-full-black-over-priced skis". Preferable black, expensive, "high secret specs", and some rumours spread by team riders to tease the customers.

Rossi Black Ops, Head KORE what else to expect from the other bigger players?

Maybe an Atomic UnderCOV3R, Völkl xVendetta, Nordica BlvckTheRippah (sick!11!) Dont forget to invest lots of money in marketing the limited sick sticks.

One thing that is cool to see is these skis end up going into small local shops that can stoke people out on them and help generate more business.

New MTN Lab? Or new Salomon boot.

Looks like it has a buckle like Dalbello does across the ankle.

i've heard dynafit are discontinuing the beast 16. apparently the beast toe "was a solution to a problem that never really existed and is prone to ice build up"
apparently it sell really well here in the UK and north america but that only makes up like something like 5% of its market when compared to the super weight focused euro tec guys.
they might still be around next season as they're selling of dead stock but there no longer producing them. just too much over lap with the 14

The binding itself was released in Euroland last season, but it was brakeless. For Fall 2017 it will enter North America with a brake (old bindings can be updated with the new brake). Brakes are available up to 110mm.

FYI - this is the boot Durtschi wore when he sent Pyramid Gap the other day (but he was in Tracker bindings).

Prepare to have your minds blown at SIA.

That's all for now :)

If you'll let me avoid mentioning any specifics for the time being, I can at least say that our new boot beats the MTN Lab, FreeTour, and Guide Pro in all measurable & testable aspects.

I'm just joking, I was just trying to imply the photo of the boot looks exactly like a mtn lab with an extra buckle.

I haven't skied it yet, but it looks cool in person.

I was under the impression it was an overlap design through and through, not like the MTN Lab's overlap top and weird toe cover.
