wait, what? i want to see next year's blizzards.

They are purdy.....
They have a new carving line called Quattro (will be comarketed with Audi).
They added carbon to the Brahma, just like in the Bonafide.
There is now a light version of the Brahma. We called it the Brahma Lite, but basically just replaces the Bushwacker.

They picked the right season to release a new carving line.

Does that mean similarly to when I owned an Audi car, if I bring the skis in for a basic tune up there will be a 200% mark up over normal skis?

Also a 200% increase in needed repairs. All the benefits of Audi ownership shall be yours.

I think I found a replacement for my Fischers!

The RX?

I buy skis too often but I believe I've finally gathered the ideal 3 ski quiver suited for me.

Head Supreme Instinct ti (170, 74 underfoot)

Blizzard Bushwacker (180, 88 underfoot)

Rossignol Soul 7 (180, 106 underfoot)

I made a bet with a friend that I wouldn't buy skis for the next 3 years. $100 gift certificate to Kittery Trading Post is at stake. Hopefully, I can hold out.

I have The Motive 84. Good, but not great carvers.

I concur with your east coast quiver selection. I have a 90 for daily driving a 107 collecting dust instead of powder. I would like a razor in the mid 70s. A few manufacturers produce tweener race skis with a similar turn radius as your new skis. That's what I'll eventually get.

I demo'd the Stöckli Scale Delta Large's today (83 underfoot with a 17m radius) and wow do I hope they keep this ski in their '16-'17 line up!!!

This ski rips!! A purebred GS race ski, with a touch of tip rocker that makes it friendly in some soft and/or shorter radius turns. If it has a top end, I sure didn't find it (and my tracesnow app had me maxed at at 58.2 mph today!)

Stöckli makes a SERIOUS ski!!

They had a good price on a pair of Stocklis recently but I couldn't accept the investment without demoing. I went cheap, and will perhaps regret it.
