2012 skis are in the house ...
 

New skis, boots and accessories have arrived in the house .... and we have set up the shop for winter. Just when we thought that skis couldn't get any fatter ... they did! The new aspect of this is really the mainstream emergence of the negative rocker concept on these fatties ... check out the Atomic Atlas, the Dynastar Big Dump, the Line Prophet 130, and of course the Volkl Kuro!

Dynastar's Legend series skis have been a dominant presence in competitive big mountain skiing for close to a decade.

The Legend Big Dump is the biggest and burliest, an athlete-developed floatation device with 3D Wood core construction, two layers of titanal and full-length vertical sidewalls to provide a beefy, bombproof feel that performs in the most demanding conditions.

The fat-boy 120mm waist combined with Freeride Rockered forebody lends float, maneuverability and forgiveness when charging deep or variable snow conditions. This stout landing pad with stiff traditionally shaped tail stomps mandatory airs and powers out of big turns. The Legend Big Dump is an unequivocal hard charger that seeks out the fall line on fast open faces and stands up to the extreme demands of the strongest big mountain skiers.

Kona's put some added meat and muscle into their backcountry scrambler. More aggressive geometry, faster suspension, beefier components and stiffer all-around construction-like a new 1.5" tapered headtube, the new and improved Kona Coil-Air comes keen to attack obstacles with tongue a flappin'.
