yeah Laajis has no need for this ski haha
That was my home mountain in 20/21. I tried finding people on here who rode it. No luck
JerziiiDont post pics like this please... Makes me want to buy these skis although we dont have many or none "good" pow days in central Finland or much use but as a back up for maybe on a once a year trip to the north or alps.
Haha give it a couple months but honestly I’m guessing it’ll be soon. The industry is releasing shit sooner and sooner. Also I know everything for this season is all going up in price!!

Not Sure about that. Prices went up for F22 (this coming winter) but we are holding prices steady for F23.
F23 is going to be huge though! you guys will be so stoked with what's coming and then even more hyped in F24!
If I’m being honest every topsheet is mid this year. The Vishnu leaks, Icelantic, armada, and especially line. The tw pros look like fire and ice condoms like come on.
Dont know if anyone heard Tanner on his ig live but there’s a new magic J UL coming either mid season release or 23/24 winter! So damn hyped for that ski! It’ll also have smeartech in it
BigPurpleSkiSuitwould you say they are as tight over the instep as the SMax was?
Definitely less tight. One thing I thought was cool (I'm a boot fitter that got sent a pair of the S/Pro Alpha 120s) you can see the 2nd buckle is a lot higher and is more functional for locking back the heel. That said I found the heel pocket to be wider and less precise for my skinny heels than the Mach 1s. The Salomons have a way narrower cuff though. It feels kinda weird that the cuff is tight and the heel and forefoot are a touch loose. I threw in a zipfit and that made the cuff tighter and the forefoot looser, but YMMV.
Welp, this has definitely reassured me that I made the right decision by buying a fresh pair of SMax 130s for $370 last week.

I just saw the Recon Team in the Blister interview video.
Pretty cool and unique idea having the tech toes but no walk mode or heel inserts. I honestly think this would work pretty well for me as I don't tour far and use Shifts.
I don't need new boots but am tempted to get some just for the novelty.

Dalbello Kryptons are this way, tech toes but no walk walk. I have them and I'm stoked about them. All the stability of a resort boot but you can tour with them. I'm using shifts as well

powpatrolsweet, might end up in these sometime. I know it’s not possible but a pin insert boot with no gripwalk sole and no walk mode would be my dream boot
They’re badass boots. I’ve skied them and loved them. @tomPietrowski might be working on your dream boot tho just sayin 🫣

I've never had a boot with gripwalk soles. Is there a downside to them like they don't ski as well by not fitting with bindings nicely?

In comparison to a dual-density 5355 sole (what is normally on ski boots), there's honestly no downside to them, as long as you have a binding that accepts GripWalk soles.
