2009/2010 Skis!

[veggielasagna]

I apologize if this was already posted, but I did not see it anywhere yet. Personally I like the "unisex" K2 graphics the best, the women's aren't bad either. Plenty of flowers to go around as usual on the women's. However, I could not spot any naked silhouettes on Nordicas, could it be they finally dropped it?

Thanks for posting the link. I had not seen that yet, while I've been waiting on pins and needles to hear about SIA!

I'm very geeked about the new Krypton features! yay!
The full tilt boots look Hawt!

I'm in love with these graphics:

Roxy always has great graphics. :D Line, too.

Oooooooh, gear porn! That is hot!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the updated Aura graphic. It's not a big change from this year - still a geisha - but the colors are wonderful! I can already tell I'll be wanting to get my 170s with next year's graphic The new Kiku is wonderful too - I really don't have enough use for a powder only ski, but if I did . . .

The biggest, and most pleasant, surprise? The new look 'Luv line from K2 - it's gorgeous! I love the peacock motif and it's a big improvement from their love of all things swirly over the last few years.

Not impressed by the rest of the Attiva line - I was hoping to add Fuegos to my quiver, but I will definitely be looking for an older model with those new graphics!

Thanks, VL!

veggie, thank you so much for posting this link! I ski Volkls, so I checked out the women's Volkl skis, especially the freeride skis.

I'm happy that I have the '09 Pearls and '09 Fuegos because I find the '10 graphics on these models very humdrum. I love my '08 Auras too, though I like the '10 graphic too. The '10 Cosmos look nice too. The '10 skis that wow me are the '10 Kikus which is a ski that I want to try and have a feeling that I'm gonna love. I'm planning to demo the Kikus in Colorado in March though as an East Coast skier I really can't justify the purchase, but a girl can dream right?

If you're ever going to pull the trigger on the Kiku, next year's graphic would be the year to do it! That is a beautiful ski.

We are talking about a trip to Jackson or Big Sky for next year, so perhaps I could justify some 168 Kikus . . . unlikely, but as you said . . . a DIVA can dream, right ? ? ? ;)

That was my exact thought. I think I'll be saving the whitewater season $ for a pair... =) And the new Auras? BARF. Sorry, no like!!

I am planning to go to Big Sky again next winter, not sure when, so maybe I'll meet you then! I adore that mountain and the Kikus would SING there as they get tons of fresh snow. My problem is that I can't see bringing 2 pair of skis when I come out West, and the Kikus are just a little wide for a 1-ski quiver (Auras are a better choice I think for all mountain conditions). And they are really overkill for most days here in the Northeast.

I do like that the Kikus are twins though.

Just stumbled over here...the K2 line is GORGEOUS. Looks like Dynastar unfortunately didn't do much to their hideous flower graphics for the women's lie. BLECH! Definitely agree that this year and last year;s Volkls look nicer, but still not bad! Some very nice looking skis on there...too bad I can't afford any of them

 

[volklgirl]

LOVE the new Aura graphics! I don't suppose they're gonna bring back the 177 since it looks like I may be in the market (again, bleh!).

 

[oragejuice]

We should all email them about the 177. They make a 178 Kiku, it only makes sense....

 

[MaineSkiLady]

Good link, thanks!
Wow, Kneissl is BACK! It has been a long, long time since I've seen this brand. Nice graphics, too - SOLID COLOR background, simple name-graphics, none of the comic-book-Ray-Lichtenstein-top-this stuff that's out there now. First pair of skis I ever owned were Kneissl. Hope they do well.

Funny, I don't like the Roxy graphics. It looks like too many of the kids skis that I see when coaching.

Hmmmm, I might seriously have to think about the Kikus next season, I love those graphics. Everyone cross your fingers that we get our bonuses next year.

I'm already planning to do that later today.
Let's start a campaign!! Everyone e-mail Volkl to bring back the 177 Aura. Do it today or this weekend. Let's just flood them, ladies!!!!

I kinda agree. I think they're better than violence but for my tastes they're a bit too cute.

I am very impressed with the new additions to the women's line for Blizzard. They're bringing back the eos, New and Improved!! yay!

[missyd]

thanks for the link and info ... I'll try and buy another pair of K2 (08/09 model) as I do not like the graphics of new ones ... perhaps even with a nice discount!
