    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.

    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...

    Nordica FireArrow 84 EDT
    Kastle MX83
    Blizzard Magnum 8.5 (and 8.0)

    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.

    I will not be on the market for skis for a few years. However, I thought my next ski was going to be a Rossi Super 7 until I saw this new bad boy, the Rossi Squad 7:

    I'll have to put on massive weight to drive these 190 cm bad boys.

    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.
