Not freeski graphics

Some of the users of Powder Trends requested us – that by the way, are increasing every day- to do a review about ski graphics for those of you who prefer slide down the ski slopes rather than through the savage mountain.

Those of you who thought there weren’t cool skis were totally wrong!

Rossignol Attraxion

Discreet and dark, but at the same time very feminine. Rossignol designs ski with style for ladies.

This Italian brand keeps on being one of the best when it comes to vintage designs for skis, but beyond that 70’s look, there’s a carving ski build up with the latest technology, easy to ride and fun at the same time.

Blossom Flere

Roxy Bliss

For the youngest ladies of each home, Roxy updates his Bliss model.

Scott Aztec

Scott throws in 2010 his Aztec design, a very versatile ski all terrain, of geometric figures overlapped. We love it.

Vist SF One

The Italians of Vist have achieved the impossible: a beautiful giant race ski. Not beautiful, precious. Elegant, simple, and full with typographic details.

More ski graphics 2010

Once more, we have spent some time looking for the most shocking and original ski graphics, those that people keep on staring during the chair lift line. Those that make us ski looking downwards. Those that we keep in our rooms as part of its decoration during all of the year.

This has been the result.

Atomic Bent Chetler. freestyle-backcountry.

Atomic Bent Chetler freestyle-backcountry

Atomic tries this year with a Japanese-urban inspiration, and surprise us with the Bent Chetler as the result.

This promodel is clearly the best expression of their rider Chris Benchetler, who continues innovating and turning the Backcountry on his own snow park. Booters, pillows, tree taps…this ski can handle with everything.

Its 123mm underfoot , will help you stomp an out of bounds booter as well as not to be sketchy on the landing thanks to the roker technology.

Line Chronic Cryptonite

Line Chronic Cryptonite

Line continues with his crow, but this time even more aggressive, and illustrated by Dan Mumford.

This new design it’s based on the original Chronic, but counts with an even wider waist (93mm), continuing with line’s idea of wide park skis.

They are even harder and resistant than the rest of skis that compose the range, providing and extra stability and avoiding them getting bent when you stomp the illest  jumps.

Armada T-Hall

This is Tanner Hall’s option for this year. The lion of Judah, HaileSelassie I…very Tanner , always with his reggae style.

This year the come a bit harder: perfect to imitate our pipe idol.

4Frnt Click

The 80’s style is introduced with this 4Frnt Click for girls. Paint, markers and full of colour.

K2 Missy

To end up with, the innocent touch come by the hand of these initiation skis K2 Missy for girls but, be careful, not because they are younger the come to be less rockers. Hannah Montana and freeski haven’t got to be incompatible.

Ski freestyle boots 2010

New article on the freestyle boots we have liked most this season.

Rossignol SAS FS2

The two buckles system allows incredible adjustment, it’s flexible tongue can open a lot to make it easier to put on, has a Flex 8, we liked the simplicity of its design and the contrast of dark brown with gold.

Dalbello il moro

The choice of famous Tanner Hall, a boot of 3 hooks designed for park but hard enough to defend themselves in all-terrain thanks to it’s two interchangeable tongues, medium-hard and soft.

This year they have chosen the Rastafarian colors, which t-hall identifies with.

Nordica Game Changer

Although not much is known about the technical aspects of the next nordica freestyle boot, it certainly has a astonishing design and deserved a mention in the article

Salomon SPK Pro Model

The already known SPK returns this year in red and black colors, continue with flex 110.

Highly recommended for its thremodeformable system, which will fully adapt the boot to your foot, which will enjoy all the padding and protections that leads to soft, soft landings.

Fulltilt Booter

A boot completely park orientated, comes with a medium flex tab 6. One advantage of this boot is the possibility of exchanging tongues and the boots are completely thremodeformables. Very cool colors!

Fultilt Soul Sister

Bota specified for all terrain women, they have apadapted the boot to female anatomy, it’s interchangeable flex 8 tongue will be the queen inside and outside the track.

elegant graphics, floral motives in black and gold.

Talking about Poles.

Some say all poles are the same, but as time goes by more specific and custom poles are reaching the market.

Here we go with a little selection:

Line Pin

A small pole focused in park, as they say in their website:  “Shorter than your dad’s poles, but still longer than your tall tee, it’s the lightest stick with the skinniest grip in the world!” From now there’s no need to cut out the poles to hit the rails;  Pins comes in super short sizes (91, 96, 101, 106 cm). Made in ultralight aluminum and almost undestructible.

Scott Punisher

Scott comes punishing this year with Punisher which has some very elaborated vampire graphics and a vintage touch with leather en the strap. Made in aluminiun and comes with ergonomic grip.

Armada Motive

Armada strikes againg with their inovative pole system, where the grip and the basket are interchangeable and can be bought separately. We like the  “neo constructivist” inspiration graphics and the powerfull colours.

Salomon Patrol

It looks like the guys designing this poles were thinking about…. Alaska. The ultimate Big mountain weapon from the french brand comes with a powder focused basket and a “racing” like grip for a perfect control in every line.

Rossignol S.A.S Junior

Thinking in the kids who rock, Rossignol made a perfect pro pole. Made in ultralight aluminium is perfect for the first steeps at the park. We love the graphics in line with the Seven Artistic Sins.

Hope you can find your perfect pole!
