Disappointed to see the graphics on the J.O. - so teenage male!

But the womens' skis look good, like the mountains on the Great One, looking forward to demo'ing that and the Wild One!

These sound good .............. just need snow .........:snow:

Seems like Volkl's really been changing it up the past few seasons, with the tigershark/powerswtich skis last year replacing the 5 stars, which everyone seemed to love, and now the new wider skis this season -- the AC 50's, the Grizzly -- those are new, right?

Anyways, I love the pdf's Volkl does.

Hmm...No specs on the 08-09 Nordica Olympia Helldiver. Is it the women's version of the Hot Rod Helldiver (~90mm underfoot)? So, maybe a little fatter than the Conquer? Softer? I can't tell.

Ooh! I found the ski that I need to demo! The new Volkl Aurora!! Hm. Wendy, what did you think of it?

That Nordica site is just an overview, more like a teaser eh?? No spec's just pictures to drool over.

Yeah, it's evil.

Lol - so I just checked my PMs. Apparently two people sent messages to me at the end of last season telling me to try the Auroras!
 
I think Ski Diva tested this ski on the soggy demo day at Stratton and posted a review on this forum. I couldn't find it with a quick search but I think she liked it!

Whoops. Sorry, I missed this earlier.

This is an absolutely fabulous ski. I loved it. Go here for my review.

As of today, Nordica does have their new site up and running. If you go in from the main page, you can pick your country, for our diva's not in the US of A.

Love the info on your site.
Anything spectacular coming on the horizon for the average ski diva?
