Yeah, you’ve heard it all before: the unwavering promises of versatility, but nine times out of ten those do-it-all skis simply come up short—until now that is. Say hello to coldsmoke and goodbye to the mirrors with a little help from the Volkl Women’s 90Eight Ski. Touting a design that’s legitimately based in all-mountain fun, the 90Eight features an adaptive 98mm width waist that’ll go to mow-town on bumps, sashay through groomers, and float pow like a grade A yacht on the sea. Oh, and don’t forget about those nuggets of spring time slushy joy, the 90Eight easily maneuvers those without skipping a beat.
Now, simply because it’s a women-specific ski doesn’t mean it’s been the victim of the pink-and-shrink laser beam of doom. Boasting the same design as its twin brother (just in an overall lighter package), the 90Eight features Volkl’s 3D Ridge construction, which brings the bulk of material to the center of the ski, resulting in reduced swing weight. Though, Volkl does this without actually sacrificing the ski’s damping and stability at speed. Additionally, the early taper sidecut eases turn initiation for an easy, playful feel when it comes to hunting down pow stashes or making tight turns through technical features. The multi-layer wood core encompasses the character and flex of the ski, which, since its a Volkl, is inherently stable at speed, and is packed with plenty of power to bust through crud, without even batting an eye.
The Salomon Women’s QST Pro 90 TR Ski Boot is designed to blend access to the backcountry with reliable, hard-charging downhill performance that’s just as at home in the resort as it is out of bounds. Its 90 flex is perfect for intermediate to advanced lady shredders who enjoy comfort but require a powerful boot to drive their skis down steep, technical lines, while the generous 100-millimeter last accommodates normal-width to slightly wide feet.
Though it’s certainly not the lightest boot on the market, the QST Pro TR’s 40° range of motion in walk mode and sub four pound weight will get you to lines far from the trailhead, or steep bootpacks to fresh stashes in the resort. The women-specific liner and lower cuff offers an anatomical fit, and both the liner and shell are thermo-moldable for precise customization. Salomon built the boot’s shell with thinner walls to keep the weight to a minimum, but reinforced key areas to give you the power you need when you’re slaying your proudest line of the season.

Hey this is gary again from home of sun. Valley in san mateo california and in this video i want to go over the brand-new salomon qst boot this is the qst 90. For women from salomon this follows. Their quest line from last year which is their walking line of boots has the. Upper can move back and forth for ease of walking the two things really. Are distinctive about this fit one is that it’s incredibly lightweight it’s 25% lighter than typical boot it doesn’t. Sound like much but when you pick it up and put it on your foot you can really feel a significant difference in the weight of the boot and then to these qst. Boots fit really well they. Solving has done an incredible job in the last couple years in focusing on fit. And they’ve really done a great job of focusing on fit when this thing to think. About this boot it has fairly firm foams and even though it’s only a 90 flex the foams they stick in this boot are fairly firm, and they have really done a great job of tailoring the liner to what they think a boot foot looks. Like and its distinctive being that it. Grabs the heel exceptionally well grabs. The area above the Achilles and above the heel which is the most important place for a boot to grab and when you control the heel area you don’t feel the. Need to over buckle the buckles and then you have been a circulation and better overall fit and better performance too. Because the hilary is the most important place for any boot to grab firmly and this does an incredible job of that so the other thing about this boot is that. It’s a walking boot in that flip this little lever here loosen up the buckles. And the upper cuff moves back and forth. For ease of walking so whether. You’re walking across the parking lot or in the bar or up a mountain it makes it. Certainly facilitates that this is a 100. Millimeter lasted boot which means that it’s going to fit an average width foot quite well so that means for a woman of b plus 2 its seath c plus kinds of with. The qst 90 does not is not a custom. Shall but the higher end boots are. Custom shall and what custom shell is the ability for the shell to do a little. Conforming to the foot that being said though this thing fits really well right out of the box and then the. Overall design of the boot is a little different than other recent from the past in that it has it’s like an. Overlap shell design but it also borrows. From a open throat design like a. Full-tilt or a kr boot from dalbello. And it has this tongue here which is. Actually a internal on this boot and doubles this plastic piece doubles. For the shelton and the liner tongue. 2 which also probably lightens the boot. Up they’ve made an effort to really scoped out and take away unnecessary plastic. Also to lighten this boot up really yeah. I think the answering the demands of a lot of skiers in that they want a lighter boot just for ease of walking. Less weight hanging off their knees on. The chairlift that sort of thing and someone has really answered the demands of a lot of skiers that kind of boot but. Again the most important thing is fit and the qst does a fantastic job of. Fitting a average width. Foot very well so if you found this. Video helpful informative give me the big thumbs up below if you have any questions or comments comment in the comment section I’ll try to get back to you thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.
The Salomon Women’s X Max 110 Ski Boot has all the elements of a performance-first boot, but throws a generous helping of comfort into the mix so you can ski fast and hard from first to last chair. A stiff 110 flex is suitable for advanced to expert lady shredders, and the 98-millimeter last, while narrow, can be expanded to about 104 millimeters, thanks to Salomon’s easy heat molding process. Salomon designed this boot with an oversized pivot, which reduces play and increases precision and power transmission.
The liner is thermo-moldable, too, with thermo-moldable inserts that prevent pressure points and ensure a secure fit, and is women-specific, meaning that it has a slightly lower cuff and volume to give you the best possible fit and feel. Fuzzy material on the inside of the liner delivers plush comfort and warmth, which you’ll appreciate on the coldest days of the season.
Okay so this is gary gannett realm of sun valley in san mateo california helm sports calm and in this video i want to cover the sum and xmax 90 this is a boot. For or for women and it is a ninety. Eight millimeter last boot which is going to fit a b with two ac with kind. Of foot very well but more importantly. This boot hat is custom shall it’s a. Different kind of material where we heat. The shell up in an oven to about 200 degrees and then put it on your foot and wherever you have a bony prominence or if your foot or four foot is wider or any part of your foot is wider the shell physically moves out and takes the shape. Of those wider areas or those bony prominences and you’re on your foot so. It’s quite an advancement in boot up in. Boot technology it’s really amazing not. Only that it has some thermal moldable. Materials in the liner too and what that is an intuition like material. Closed-cell foam that gets heated up also during the customization process and it further does some sculpting to. You to your foot so it really is quiet. A good fitting boot and fits many types of feet because of that custom show this is not a walking boot so it’s. A little bit less of money because of that typical sole that sort of thing but. A great boot for a lady who is a good. Intermediate to advanced level type of. Skier and it’s been extremely popular here at home so yeah if you found this. Video helpful please give me the big thumbs up down at the bottom and if you have any cuts any questions or comments you can comment down in the comment section that would be great, and we’ll get back to you alright thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.

The Rossignol Women’s Soul 7 Ski isn’t the biggest, burliest, or hard-chargingest ski out there, but it’s the perfect tool for skiers who like to ski hard all over the mountain, and are more worried about having fun and skiing well than being the gnarliest person on the mountain.
Rossi’s 7 Series has been around for years now, starting with the game-changing S7, and the Soul 7 keeps things pretty true to the “fun-shaped” heritage of that ski. The Super 7 and Squad 7 are bigger and burlier, but the Soul 7’s 106mm width and versatile Powder Turn Rocker help it conquer any type of snow and all types of terrain, from deep blower to leftover crud to wind-buffed cream cheese to groomers. Powder Turn’s large amount of tip splay smooths out rough snow and helps you float through the deep, and the camber underfoot provides plenty of stability and edge grip when you’re pinching the throttle on the way back to the lift. This season Rossignol has upped its honeycomb Air Tip game with Air Tip 2.0, lightening the swing weight by 15% to further reduce the chatter and flap that haunted old-school tip rockers.
By building the core out of lightweight paulownia wood, Rossignol kept the Soul 7 quick and maneuverable, and it reduced the weight to make it more backcountry friendly. A slightly squared-off tail allows easier skin attachment. Vertical sidewalls give the ski a bit more edging power and a more hard-charging look. And, while it’s nice and light, the race-inspired Carbon Alloy Matrix in the core keeps things stiff enough to charge when you’re feeling aggressive.
What’s up skiers I’m jeff from ski. Essentials calm here to talk about the. 2017 rossignol soul 7 hd chances are. You’ve seen this black and yellow ski on your local hill this is the 2016 sol 7. Rossignol came out with this ski a few years ago and ever since it’s been one. Of the most popular skis on the market it’s very maneuverable it’s very versatile can carve turns on groomers. But it does really well off-piste. And then the even in powder so yeah. Really popular ski i got tons of. Great reviews and they’ve changed it so. So why change it well really the only negative feedback. That rosin will receive on the original. Sole seven was from really aggressive or. Or just heavier skiers and those skiers. Felt that it was a little bit unstable. And lacked a little bit of torsional stiffness for a really high speed aggressive skiing especially aggressive. Skiing on firm groomed snow or through. Kind of choppy variable conditions so. What Ross wanted to do is they want to. Add torsional stiffness to the ski and a. Little bit of strength while retaining that playful lubert will feel that the. Ski has become known for and really. The reason why it’s been so popular the past few years to accomplish that now as menaul has added carbon to this something that we’re seeing. Across the industry right now it’s a very popular material for speed construction rossignol has done a little. But different there their technology is. Called carbon alloy matrix now you probably won’t be able to see it on this video because it is pretty subtle but when you have a pair in your hand you can actually see that the new construction of the ski it’s kind of woven into the core so it’s not a complete sheet of carbon fiber but it. Does it do its job now it has received. A couple mixture use from some people. Out there that that didn’t maybe necessarily think they should have changed it, but we think probably really. Accomplished what they set out to do i personally have blast skiing this. Ski i think it’s still very playful. Very maneuverable but i found i could. Make really aggressive powerful turns where on the older soul seven i think. This ski would have been shattering i think it probably wouldn’t have held an edge as well as we’re skiing in spots. Some pretty icy terrain and this he still held tell me that you really love. The carbon fiber definitely adds that desired extra torsional stiffness and. Stability but it doesn’t add that much. Weight to the ski unlike a sheet of. Metal that that was made this ski very heavy it’s still really lightweight still kind of retains that pivoting. Maneuverable feeling but now you can. Actually get up on any charge on it so if you’re nervous but rosin will kind of. Ruin the great ski don’t be it’s still. Still, a phenomenal ski for people that like lightweight maneuverable skis but. If you’re more aggressive. You wanted a little bit more stability out of it’s got that now rossignol. Did an early release of the sole 7 hd as. Well as the new experience 88 hd you’ll. Find both of these skus on ski essentials calm right now so yeah that’s. The 2017 the rossignol soul 7 hd. Definitely try and get a pair in your hands check it out the car with instruction and if you can try and get out on a pair and ski it because i think most people out there will be really happy with Ross with what brasi did to this ski.
Hi I’m todd mirrors with rossignol here at christy sports to speak with you about the brand-new women’s soul seven hd at 104 in the waste this is a great. Platform of a ski that floats in powder with ease but still turns very quickly down the front side of the hill this ski. Is going to be Apollonian wood core which is a bit lighter and a bit stiffer than poplar that we use in a few other models it also features our carbon alloy matrix material which is a weave that gets placed into the construction of the ski allowing the ski to be a bit more torsion ally rigid and true feeling without adding to the weight of the ski we also have our brand-new air tip. Technology which is quite a big. Innovation from our first run of our sole 7 product we’re using a visco. Material here inlaid into the tip of the. Ski to allow the ski to have a. Significant reduction in tip chatter and a much more complete feel when. Skiing this if you’re looking for a ski that floats in powder but still turns very well down the front side of the hill making a solid one ski quiver this. Is your ski come check it out at christi sports. You
Five years I’m jeff from skin essentials comm we are here today to do another. 2018 ski review it’s been a few weeks. Since our last review but we’re kicking. Back off with our 1st 2018 rossignol. Will be continuing 2018 ski. Reviews through the summer into next fall and in late june or early july. You’re also going to see a bunch. Of material from our first annual ski. Test we had about 30 to 35 testers at. Stone mountain resort testing about 150. Pairs of skis so you will be. Releasing results from that test later in the summer but in the meantime we’re going to keep doing some review reviews for you. Guys so this week it’s the 2018. Rossignol soul 7 hd will do a brief. History of the sole 7 I’m guessing the. Most of you’re familiar with it because it is a pretty popular ski if we go back. To seasons this is the 2016 sole 7. Basically this was a wood core ski. Matala the sole 7 we’ll start by saying the sole 7th always been kind of. Powder oriented or wider all-mountain. Ski that’s known for being very. Maneuverable very lightweight and. Pretty approachable for not just. Advanced and expert skiers you can be a solid intermediate skier and. Get a lot out of a sole 7 so yes 2016. This ski was wood core pretty much just. Wood and in the core of the ski and then. Roswell’s honeycomb air tip which has. Kind of become synonymous with their skis and with the 7 series in. Particular so you know huge following. Behind the sole 7 people that want like. I was saying I’m a new verbal ski that’s great and stuff snow great for trees. Great for skiing bowls pretty much any. Anything if you soft snow the sole seven is awesome the one complaint that some more aggressive. Skiers had which we touched on a lot for. The 2017 review that you can go back and watch and read was instability people. Felt like the ski got deflected a little bit if you are seeing choppy snow especially at high speeds i was pretty easy for the tips to get. Thrown side-to-side you hit something. I also lacked a little bit of torsional stiffness and edge hold we’re not always. On soft snow after all so it’s nice to. Have the ability to hold an edge on a groomer these are 106 underfoot which definitely. Traditionally is much more of a powder ski but these days with a ski that’s 106. Underfoot most of us are expecting it to have some groomer performance so last. Year they put carbon alloy matrix into. The ski basically a woven grid of carbon. That increases torsional stiffness gives. It more stability and it definitely. Improved the ski i go back and check out. Review from last year if you want to get more details and now moving into 2018. Carbon alloy matrix remains in the in. The 2018 ski really the big change to. This ski well there’s a couple this is a. Brand new mold so in years past the. Changes to the sole seven have been internal you know they’ve been construction changes different materials. But they’ve kept the same shape both. Both in the side cut profile and the rocker profile moving into 2018 it’s. Changed if you can see these are two. Different lengths so it’s a little bit tough to make them look identical but there’s more rise in the tip in the tip. Now basically the same out of the tail but it is a slightly different shaped tail and their different side cut. Profile too but it’s pretty subtle. These now have an 18-meter turn radius in the 180 where this is a 172 the last. Year is 180 or really any 180 up to this. Point has a 17-meter turn radius so a little bit longer turn and that’s that’s. The big difference in the shape and then construction wise it’s a brand-new tip. And brand-new construction so they call. This air tip 2.0 and it’s essentially. Designed to be lighter and stronger which you know that’s that’s something that we say a lot in these gear reviews, and they’ve done that but essentially. Extending the length of it but adding in. These they call three-dimensional. Reinforcements you can kind of see it in the tip and it integrates more into the. Core of the ski than ever before. You can kind of think of it the previous. Versions of basalt seven almost had two. Different personalities especially if we’re talking about the 2017 version underfoot very torsion ally stiff thanks for the carbon alloy matrix and. Then the tips and tails were very light very soft tremendous swing weight the. New ski it’s definitely got a more even. Flex throughout the ski that was. Something that i really noticed when i was seeing it feels a little silver. Part of the point of the to exit 2.0 is. To further reduce deflection and i. Definitely think it does that i don’t. Think i would have described the previous versions of this all seven hd. Or sol 7 as being exceptionally smooth. They were very energetic very quick very. Easy to throw around but they said they. Weren’t nearly as smooth as this loose key it’s still easy to throw around actually reduce the swing weight even. Further this by sending this tip but have given. It more strength more power basically. Because of the reinforcements that then integrates into the ski so I’ve been. Describing it as it’s more of a single entity now in terms of performance. Now that i say that i could understand why somebody would perceive that as a negative in terms of versatility but. That’s not what i mean at all its more the feel of the ski from tip to tail. It really feels it feels like it the. Whole thing wants to work together where. Previously you know you were kind of fighting to get some edge grip underfoot while you had this maneuverability and quickness some of the tips and tails i think it holds an edge better now and it’s equally as mutable some kinds of. Change that saying easy performance and soft snow so I’ve been referring to them. As blacker’s which is a little bit of a. Metaphor how easily black sea’s are synonymous with being a little bit more. Ski or more powerful or burlier and i. Think that’s a fair assessment for the new sol 7 it’s not outrageously perlier. It’s not like they added two sheets of metal to it but it’s a different ski so. If you’ve been you know if you’ve been skiing that’s all seven for a few years and you’ve been wondering what to replace it with i would say replace it. With a new soul seven and then you know if you were a skier that shied away from. The sole seven because you thought it was not quite enough ski maybe you skied. It and you felt that that tip deflection maybe you felt a little bit of chatter. These new tips really don’t shatter at. All especially compared to the previous. Version so yeah definitely check them. Out that’s the 2018 sole seven like i said. We will be releasing a lot more a lot. More info on this ski when we released. The results from our ski test you’ll get. To see what i think we had seven or eight different testers that’s keep those well seven on so you get to read reactions from a whole slew of people instead of just myself although i do try and integrate some feedback from our my co-workers as. Well but yeah new soul seven the seven. Series has been on the market for a long. Time you’re still going to see a ton of black and yellow rog mills on the hill but now they’re blacker.
Blizzard’s Sheeva series is an ode to ripping chicks who spend more time in ski boots than out of them. A freeride-oriented daily driver, the Sheeva 10 is a super versatile set of planks that annihilates big terrain. The 102mm waist is slightly narrower than its burlier big sister, the Sheeva 11, so while you’ll still be able to float pow turns on storm days, the Sheeva 10 also sees you through bulletproof hardpack and chundery debris.
Utilizing the Carbon Flipcore technology that skiers already know and love, Blizzard also added two layers of carbon fiberglass to their women-specific skis to maintain strength while shedding a little bit of weight. The DRT Titanal layer underfoot makes the Sheeva 10 powerful and stable while you’re clocking high speeds on the hill, and the playfulness of the multi-layer wood core is just begging you to pop off side hits and pillows. These confidence-inspiring skis rip all kinds of terrain, and even though you take pride in your excessive quiver of skis, the Sheeva 10 is the only thing you’ll be reaching for any time soon.
We’ve taking a look at the rustle of nine for men this is the equivalent in the women’s collection it’s the shiva 9 another brand-new ski it is 92. Millimeters underfoot really nice. Looking free ride ski again it’s got the tit anal plate here the full wood core if you’re looking for a nice playful free ride ski it’s very versatile on and. Off pieced this one looks really nice.
We’re here at blizzard with day care. Alone are you doing good how are you guys doing we are holding up we’re holding up, and we’d like to love to talk. You a little bit about women serious the. Shiva skis and what kind of skis saw these well this is. The shiva models are the skis that we designed specifically for a free ride news we have three main models the shiva 9 shiva 10 and shiva 11 and of course we. Have a junior version called the shiva team so these are meant to work at their. Best in a free ride environment so deeper snow different conditions etc but. They work fantastically also on piste we worked a lot on the side cutting on the construction for the skis to perform well thin and well in any conditions so what is the key factor that makes these. Keys special and worked really well is the. Layup we used and the type of material and the work we did on the specific material so it’s a rocker camber rocker ski with a slightly pronounced rocker you know free ride oriented and perfect. For deeper snow forgiving easy to use. And we gave it a bit of a forgiving character with this detail layer so it’s a strong fairly strong construction, but we shape this theta layer which we call. Brt in a specific way so it takes away. Some torsional rigidity from the tip and makes for a more playful fun and. Forgiving ski so a bit softer than. In the tip since there’re no teeth on all the way correct a nice tip that helps you when you need to float and also you know just charges. Through stuff if you have broken snow different conditions it just will absorb better anything that you throw at it. Sounds good and if we go to the back. Just the teeth on I’ll go all the way there it’s the same story it’s the same. Story it’s basically the same principle we have here we have in the back also because you don’t want that tail to be too catchy you want it to be again helping you float and helping you as well. Even if you’re in a carving the condition you want to be able to push and let this key bend flex properly in. The words supposed to go and now i guess you hold. Kind of the most versatile it’s the. Shiva 10 here what width are we talking about we’re talking about 102 millimeters underfoot so it’s its a. Good width to do really anything you’d. Like we also have a 9 the shiva 9 which. Is 92 waist width which is slightly you. No more on piste oriented if you will i mean you can use it more it’s more mostly from a mindset point of view more. Closer to an on piste configuration. Something interesting that we did with the our drt is also that we adapted it. To the lengths of the ski and also to the width of this case so you know a 9 you will be using it a little more on piste so you need a little bit more strength and stiffness so as you can see the teta. Goes a little bit further ahead in the tip and as you go up and as you go grow. With the length and sorry and with it shortens a little bit and if you. Go inside of the shiva 10 what other. Materials are we talking about except for the teton oh well we’re talking about of course a full wood core a bunch of different woods in there it’s very special wood core complicated we wanted to keep the wood core strong yet. Light in the right way because you. Now you need a certain amount of weight. To the ski to be able to perform properly what else is there well there’s. A unidirectional carbon fiber in the tip. And in the tail unidirectional that you. Have to explain that so carbon fiber is in many many in many different ways so what we normally see is what we. Call bi-directional carbon fiber so you know your typical cross carbon fiber so. Unidirectional just means that the carbon fiber fibers are laid in one direction only, so they’re going in this case from tip towards the tail as in the. Direction and roughly stay in the tip area and what does that mean then it still is a bit softer torsion ally or correct it’s. A bit softer torsion ally it still it has some strength as far as flex goes but you know it’s a present ski without. Being too strong so does it help tip not. To flap as many does it give it a bit it. Gives it a little bit more stability but at the same time it lets it you know. Come towards you when you’re in deeper snow and let you float properly so it’s. It’s a good compromise of making the tip. Work in the right way and the shiva turn. Here are 172 centimetres what radius. Do you have on that ski so right here. We’re around 60 metre radius in the 10. So it’s very versatile side cut we manage. To work on the side cut so it’s still very playful even when and when you’re in snow in deeper snow but very playful. Also on please and 16 metres then you can do some really quick turns as well yeah for sure for sure and the side cut is set up so that you know you have a nice tip that is free to go when it’s in deeper snow you don’t have that catchy feeling that sometimes hooky but. At the same time you know when you really put it on an edge it will turn really nicely sounds super and what can. You is there a longer length as well on. The shiva tongue yes up to 180 and then. In the 11 which is the more you know free ride purely free ride ski we’re going. Up to 188 yeah i know that’s a lot. Interesting athletes out there that want. To use you know women’s ski alley stock.

With classic sidewall construction and stable skiability, the Kastle LX85 Ski is an ideal choice for light, easy turns when your favorite place on the mountain is the frontside. The 85mm width underfoot provides quick edge-to-edge response when you’re on trail, with a hook free shovel and tail for performance that’s forgiving if you do venture off-piste. Low camber underfoot helps you pop in and out of turns with a performance that feels natural and playful, all day long.
The LX85 uses a blend of silver fir and beech wood at its core, providing a stiff, powerful feel that handles well at high speeds, with a metal laminate for further carving strength on the corduroy. Kastle’s signature Hollowtech tip returns, naturally, now larger in a 2.0 version. By removing unneeded materials from the tip, swing weight is reduced, and the ski becomes 30% damper. The end result is a powerful edge-grip, more stability, and more precise steering.
The Salomon Women’s Aira 84 Ti Ski is a powerhouse in a light package, with a penchant for steep groomers, fast speeds, and firm snow. Its frontside-oriented 84 millimeter waist is quick and nimble, with a rockered tip and tail to add to its maneuverability in varying conditions, and generous underfoot camber for impressively reliable edge grip.
Thanks to Salomon’s C/FX construction, the Aira remains light and responsive but also impressively strong and powerful. A blend of flax and carbon keeps the ski damp and smooth at speed without adding excess weight that takes away from its approachability, while a Titanal platform flatters the lightweight, poppy wood core by delivering torsional stiffness for efficient power transfer as you move from edge to edge.
Head out for a full day of resort-wide ripping with your Atomic Cloud 9 Skis with Lithium 10 bindings.

The Densolite core is lightweight and forgiving, while an Elastomer inlay damps vibrations for a smooth ride all day long.

If you crave firm groomers and high speeds, then the K2 Women’s Tough Luv Ski with ERC 11TCx Light Quikclik Binding is your ticket to frontside freedom. With a narrow yet nimble 82 millimeter waist, rockered tip, and generous camber, you’ll slice pristine corduroy and zoom over end of day chop, and will never feel like you can’t hold a reliable edge on even the slickest, steepest runs.
K2’s women-specific BioKonic Core—which puts denser materials at the ski’s edges for improved strength and power from edge to edge—keeps this ski light and balanced without sacrificing any performance. The core is built from a combination of strong, stiff fir and light, responsive aspen, with a carbon laminate for increased stability and power, meaning you’ll experience a buttery-smooth, robust, and dependable feel, whether you’re dabbling in the softer snow at the side of the trail or laying hard edges down the steepest, firmest run you can find.
As the widest ski in DPS’s Uschi line, the Women’s Uschi 94 Ski has the versatility to rip groomers, but craves softer snow, and, thanks to the Alchemist construction, delivers an impressively damp, smooth ride no matter where you point your tips. DPS makes its women-specific skis with the same hard-charging performance that’s found in the rest of its line, but slightly alters the mounting point for a more balanced, responsive feel.
A generously rockered tip and flatter tail make this ski nimble and easy to turn, while a helping of underfoot camber adds a powerful feel out of each turn and delivers a reliable edge hold when you hit really firm snow. The Alchemist construction boasts an aspen wood core that offers up a fun, energetic feel, while DPS’s signature prepreg carbon laminate with added dampening technology sandwiches the core for a buttery-smooth, stable ride, whether you’re hunting for leftovers in the trees or laying quickly from edge to edge on wide open groomers.
When your heart is in the mountains, there’s no better place for your feet to be than in the K2 Luv 100 LV Ski Boot. Built with lightweight agility and alpine precision in mind, it delivers the power and performance you crave on the downhill, in a lightweight package that you’re sure to love. It features a medium stiff flex that’s perfect for intermediate rippers, or ladies that are slight of stature but aggressive on the slopes. The low-volume last will fit narrower feet, or deliver a true performance fit for more average-width folks.
K2 built the Luv 100 with plenty of adjustability for a perfect fit and plenty of comfort that won’t detract from performance. The shell is fully TPU heat moldable, making it easy for a boot fitter to punch out room for hot spots and bone spurs, and the LuxFit Pro liner is equipped with heat-moldable foam that conforms to your feet. Four types of TPU within the shell keep it flexible and comfortable where you want it, and stiff where you need it—with a Powerfuse Spine for ultimate strength and response. If you want an even more aggressive lean angle, you can add the Power Wedge, and even the soles can be canted in 0.5 degree increments up to 3 degrees, according to stance. And, because taking your ski boots on and off can sometimes be the worst part of skiing, the Luv100 has a FastFit instep feature for easy entry and exit.

The early rise tip and tail encourage buttering all over the park, and also work to provide you with enjoyable float in deeper snow while still maintaining easy engagement on hardpack. Line’s Symmetrical Flex provides an equally balanced feel whether you’re riding switch or not, and the lightweight aspen wood core keeps the ride soft, playful, and responsive, also makes the ski easy to throw around. Fiberglass near the core along with thicker edges and bases add durability to the mix, increasing the tuning life so you can spend more time perfecting your 360 and less time in the shop.

Of boots from laying this year all new last all new molds completely redesigned. From the ground up to work with today’s modern day shaped skis and skiing styles. So if you thought you couldn’t fit into a legg fit before give them a try. Because they’re really are some great skiing boots they’ve done a number of updates on them to modernize them and change their fit, so they fit a much. Wider variety of feet than they used to. For sure as we mentioned this is rx 100 it’s got a hundred flex out of the box. It does have an adjustable flex. It’s got rivets instead of like a labor. So you can remove one both top or bottom. Of the rivets to cut it down on the flex to your weight your skiing style and. Performance level so nice adjust ability. You know this being 100 flex boots it’s gonna be good for an advanced level skier you know somebody that’s you know. Definitely a little more aggressive not. Not too timid but you know just a good. All-around skier they widen up the last. Of this boot so whereas lang’s used to be down around 98 last and only fit very. Narrow feet they’ve widened this last up so now it’s a hundred millimeter last so like i said before it’s gonna fit a wider variety feet 100 mil asses is gonna. Comment anywhere some like a bead would be with so before legs were pretty much. Bees and below so much wider variety. Fits got for michael adjustable and. Those buckles here so put the micro adjustable buckles aluminum is going to. Make a lightweight durable micro adjust ability you can spend them 360 degrees either way tighten them loose them so if you’re in between catches here you can dowe in the fit lose your headers so you’re not putting too much pressure on the top of your foot there you got eight thirty. Five-millimeter power strap up top so it gives you a nice secure wrap of the compensator lower leg fit good energy. Transmission lange’s a little different than some of the other manufacturers they use a mono injected shall some of the other manufacturers use a fire ejected shell and a lot of their boots lange does a mile injected shell which. Means it’s all one material all one type. Of plastic all one density and this makes the boot perform better it’s a lot. More responsive there’s no energy loss. Just you know it’s an overall it’s a better skiers boot lanes always been about performance first and that continues with this series, but they have done you know some updates to make it more comfortable I’ll feature here on the outside of the boot we do have an adjustable cuff alignment on the outside so if you are bowlegged where you need. To lay out or knock name for your needs come in this will help align that cop to. That knee so less stress on your knees or ankles skis sit flatter, so they were. Less prone to captain adage that your spine quicker so all around a good boot. Some other things they’ve done is they’ve lessened the ramp angle they’ve. Increased that it made this more of an upright stance or you’re more balanced this is what’s kind of going on in the world cup right now with a lot of boots and then kind of file a course to keep up with the modern day skis moving down. Into the liner we’ve got lang’s thermal fat one liner. Here I’ve got this nice leather insert up top so flosser cable slide and easily. A very solid heel pocket here lange has. Been Always known for the heel hold and that continues here with this rx100 boot. That pa tong hold allow you to get that tongue forward on the boot easier entry. We’ve got a full 180 degree neoprene toe. Box covers the top and the front fold the toe box it’s also appreciated asymmetrical toe box so it is right less specific a lot of manufacturers just pasted on a generic tool box on their. Boots playing makes it asymmetrical toe box here so it’s going to think your. Foot much better add some metallic liner on the. Outside that’s gonna help retain heat make this much warmer more comfortable it’s gonna hold up your foot very well also they use the true blasted liar so. The outside of this liner matches up. Perfectly to the inside of the shell so. You get a very precise fit no gaps direct energy transfer again it’s all about performance here with length so in the best performing boots and best games is out there on the market so that about. Wraps it up for the brand-new rx 100 like i said brand-new liner and shell and everything from the ground up all new molds from lang this year in these. Boots i had a chance to skiing last spring in some of the best skiing boots. I better ever been on by far.
Hey so this is gary again from home of sun valley in san mateo california talent for calm and in this video i want. To go over the new lang barks line of boots and the rs leather boots they’ve done a couple things what. Is this new technology of dual injection. Wear this white plastic in the. Production models it’s the same color as the blue the white plastic is a higher. Barometer denser stiffer plastic and the. Blue is a softer plastic, and so they’ve. Sandwich that softer plastic in between these two harder plastics making the boot more responsive and higher performance it has more snap to it but. Probably more importantly is the new a. Couple things they’ve done to the fit on these are x and rs students one of the. Things that they’ve done is extended this medial big toe side so the angle from. The first men head right here to the toe has been pulled out this direction giving your big toe or room and for most. Of us our big toe is needs more work. Then the rest of our toes out middle toe. Most most of time is not the longest the. Big toe is and that makes a lot of sense. What they’ve done here and then the other thing and probably very important is they tightened up the heel they put more Sculley into liner a little bit more into the shell to giving it a. Better long-term fit in the heel and the fit in the heel is the most important place for that boot to grab especially a high performance boot like these rx boots and the rs boots right so that’s. About it if you found this video helpful give me the big thumbs up if you have any comments or questions put them in the comment section down below alright thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.
