    12/13 Skis....and new? AT Bindings

    EDITED:...
    So right now in June there are already some nice looking skis out there for the upcoming season. Add to that the new AT bindings that must be working for someone..y/n?
    If snow comes to the NE....the skiing should really be fun.

    Any new technologies? Is the trend continuing to fatten?

    Actually a lot of very good east coast skis coming next year. The 80-85mm category has been stale for the past few years. For 13, three skis really stand out...

    Yet another Kastle Phil!!! (<-- intended as a "Phil salivating" icon)...they must be doing something right. Would be nice to demo. I'd like to see what some of the indies are pricing their Pre-seasons at.... *EDIT: Think you're right...about there being some interesting skis come Fall....

    Full custom. I am thinking of going with tail and tip rocker with some camber. Probably 100 to 110 underfoot. I will finalize after talking with the ski designer.
    Graphics will be of course a Cannon theme.

    25th anniversary from the wife and trip to use them on.

    nice. where will the trip portion of the gift take you?

    I wouldn't trust my lack of engineering knowledge in designing an entire ski from scratch.

    Maybe I'll suggest my wife get me the Ullr's Rockered Chariot as a 3rd anniversary present.
