Here they are with the light purple Strives! Sorry the lighting isn't great. But I love the light purple on them!

AMAZING
Lovely!
My shop had the silver shifted Salomon Strives. It’s subtle but they have an iridescent look. Attaching a picture, not sure if it’s capturing the iridescence:
I love that binding color for this ski, so much!
You've got a color coordinated look going on!

GORGEOUS!!
I’m still a little bitter I missed the limited-edition Blizzard Black Pearl drop :(
Picked mine up in Sept 2025…blissfully unaware that cooler, shinier things were about to exist. Don’t get me wrong — I absolutely loveeee my pair. They’ve been amazing. But yours? Yours look downright illegal, show-stoppers. Probably faster just from the colorway alone!!! Enjoy them! I’ll just be over here patiently waiting for the ultra-exclusive, blink-and-you-miss-it, “20th anniversary collector’s edition” release!
LOL!
Jacket was bought at Boot Doctors last season. Actually picked out the color of the Nobody's Princess pants to match this jacket and my black with a bit of color Marmot that I use for cold weather ski trips. You never see them at Massanutten because I wear my favorite Marmot blue jacket that they don't make anymore . . . love all the pockets.

Joining late to the party but, coincidentally, I ended up getting same combo back in December. What's more cool is I found two more ladies on whistler with same combination of bindings and skis.
Funnily enough I also managed to hit a rock back in March and got a near close core shot which I thought of getting repaired at local shop who ended up not doing it right and had to get them repaired again at different shop within span of 4 days. I think I should probably put them on shelf for me to admire these skis cause I fear ruining them. lol.

I do hope you take time to thoroughly enjoy them whether it's on the slopes on on your wall.
But really, they are amazingly fun to ski on and it would be a shame to miss out on skiing them.
What length did you get?

Oh absolutely loved them and look forward to future seasons on them. They are 158 cm. They were absolute beauties until spring hit and I pulled out my qst lux 92 152 cm. BP 88 do so good in most conditions but I think I enjoyed wider underfoot for powder and slush.
Probably next year I will get something wider and for my height. 152 cm are my chin length.
