DYNASTAR LEGEND 94

Want a great pair of skis? Read this article and you'll be convinced that this is the ski for you!
  
The Legend Continues...
Award-Winning All-Terrain Versatility 
The new Legend 94 continues in the tradition of the Legend series, charging through all terrain and snow conditions to claim the SKI Magazine Gold Medal Award. 
SKI Magazine says, “The overall feel is burly…but fun.”
New for 11-12, the Legend 94 combines Dynastar’s classic bombproof construction with Freeride Rocker technology to deliver a blend of hard-charging power and stability with increased float and manueverability. Click here to watch it in ACTION!
“Awesome stability” and “Very comfortable at all speeds.” - SKI Magazine 
SKI Magazine says, "...the 94 is a no-nonsense construction” that performs in the most demanding testing grounds in the world.
An extremely versatile, all-terrain weapon, the Legend 94 boasts new Freeride Rocker technology. The combination of slow-rise rocker in the tip and tail and camber underfoot provides effortless float and versatility for charging deep and variable snow conditions. 
“Crud…the most demanding crucible for any ski is its specialty.” – SKI Magazine
The Titanal 3D Wood Core construction, full-length vertical sidewalls and 94mm waist provide the edging power, stability and all-terrain versatility for ripping the frontside, charging through powder and crud, and picking apart tight chutes.
To learn more about the new Legend 94 and see the rest of the 11/12 Dynastar collection visit www.dynastar.com  
Dynastar's Legend series is trusted by hard-charging skiers from Chamonix to Snowbird and continues to win more accolades than any other series in ski history.

LANGE RX 130 SKI BOOTS FOR FALL 2011

After already winning accolades across the ski media landscape, the new 11-12 RX 130 continues to impress in terms of both comfort and performance.
The RX 130 is the only mono-injection 100mm shell on the market. The same type of construction used in World Cup race boots; mono-injection boots provide the most efficient skier power transmission, albeit now with a forefoot width that allows for all-day comfort.


Featured improvements to the RX 130 shell include new cam-lock power straps for more precision and control, Ultra Grip vulcanized rubber soles for hiking/walking traction and a flash facelift to woo the masses.    
Moreover Lange’s new Control Fit liner addresses all of the problems common to modern boot fitting by incorporating a seamless one-piece tongue and cushy cut out instep pocket. This results in the warmest and most accommodating liner Lange has ever made, eliminating pressure points across the tops of the toes and instep area where circulation flows.  
Absolute comfort and control are traits long thought to be mutually exclusive to many committed skiers. The 11-12 RX 130 proves otherwise by providing a level of precision, fit and comfort that simply put; no other boot in its class can match.

NEW FOR 2011/12, DYNASTAR LEGEND 94

Dynastar Legend 94
The most versatile elite performance ski Dynastar has ever made.
The 11-12 Legend 94 comes from Dynastar’s highly decorated Legend Series of all-mountain skis – the series that has won more magazine accolades than any other ski series in history.
"I never thought it was possible to build one ski that would rip on groomers and charge in snow-filled chutes. This is the best all around ski I've ever skied,” says legendary big mountain skier, Jeremy Nobis. “The Legend 94 can ski everything. Off piste, on piste… It’s a great ski and I would recommend it to any of my friends.”
The new Legend 94 incorporates a wider but versatile waist width, rockered forebody and traditional camber underfoot to give the ski it’s conquer and destroy capability. The Freeride Rocker tip effortlessly floats and tracks in soft snow allowing you to charge powder and big mountain conditions with less fatigue. The traditional camber underfoot delivers power, energy, and edge grip for hardpack and variable conditions while the more traditional tail provides stability for big airs and strong turn exits.
The Legend 94 combines maximum float, maneuverability and superior edging performance for an all-mountain freeride tool that lives up to its name and gives expert skiers the versatility, power and performance they’ve been looking for.
Coming to The Board Room Fall 2011!!!

    The 11-12 Legend 94 features more tip rocker for maximum float and easy tracking in powder, trees and bumps. With the combination of a wider waist, high performance sidecut, rockered tip, and laminate sandwich construction the new Legend 94 dominates any snow condition or terrain you can throw it into. The traditional camber underfoot and a turned-up tail provides stability for high performance turning on the groomers.
 No other ski combines frontside and backside performance versatility quite so well!
    The RX 130 won accolades across the ski media including SKI, Skiing, and Skier’s Choice in Powder Magazine.
 For 11-12 the RX 130 skis and hikes better thanks to the new cam-lock power strap, vulcanized rubber treaded sole, and a sizzling new graphic face lift.
“Wow. I live in my boots. I ski, hike, walk and work long days in rough terrain,” says Dean Cardinale, Ski Patrol Director at Snowbird, UT.  “I never thought an alpine ski boot could be this good and this comfortable.”
The Lange RX 130 delivers a level of precision and fit that no other boot in its class can match.

SNEAK PEAK 2011-2012 NORDICA SKI BOOTS

    The revolutionizing high performance Firearrow Collection brings entirely new technology to ski boots to match today's style of skis. While boots have remained relatively static over the last twenty years, skis have evolved
dramatically enabling skiers to ski faster, increase inclination and create greater lateral forces. The firearrow boots address these new demands with an entirely new shell design to enhance lateral precision, progressive forward flex
creating easier ankle articulation and a 45 degree closure system for maximum heel retention. These boots have the newest shape and technology designed for today's high performance skier.

     Nordica's completely new Sidecountry boots, Hell & Back, are built for downhill performance first but provide features that allow skiers the ability to pursue new adventures into the ever expanding resort sidecountry. The sidecountry movement is the natural evolution of all mountain skiing. Policies and attitudes towards making Resort managed off-piste terrain available to ticketholders is fueling the evolution of all mountain skiing. The backcountry aspirations of the everyday skier is now becoming lift accessible. Nordica's new Hell and Back Sidecountry skis and boots provide skiers the uphill features they aspire to use without sacrifice to the downhill performance they need.
