Hey guys

I'm attending ISPO during the next few days where all the companies present next years stuff. Is there anything particular you want I have a look at and maybe post a picture?

Cheers, Reto

I would be interested in some pictures of the new Atomic Bent Chetler with the convex tip and tail.
Close up to see how they have used the ABS sidewall rather than the base to create the convexity
Thanks

If you can get some details about the new splitboard bindings system PLUM (french brand) is presenting that would be great !!

+ suggest G3 to add a threaded insert on the handle of their new poles so those can double as camera unipods to take great pictures while touring.

The closeups on earlyups of the bents look like uhmw sidewall and the bevel is ground in.

yeah it looks like 2 pieces - base and tipspacer. Looks like a epoxied join between the two on the base of the ski with the contoured tip spacer wrapping around the base. Wondered about the strength of such a setup compared to actually convex base like dps spoon that is all one piece..
