| Ugly topsheets. What's the spec on those skis? Next fall I'd like to pick up a 100-110 uf ski. |

LMAO...looks like the cam was making those guys uncomfortable. Good stuff.
What are the dimensions on those? They look to be in about the 100ish range at the waist. How's the flex on them?
You should get yourself a helmet cam Norona. |

Some searching pulled up this intro to their new brochure
http://www.xcosports.com/documents/0910%20Ski%20Manual%20Intro%20v.1.1.pdf
No specs on the dimensions or weights though.
Another note quoted the Zest and Tonic as being a 100mm under foot I believe. Designed by Francois Sylvain formerly of Line/Karhu. Sounds like the Tonic is stiffer and the Tonic softer.
I'm guessing that the Zenoxide is a light weight version of the Tonic like the Saint is a light weight Reverend. |

These are the womens model, I will run these as I want shorter. I like the colors too, austin power like, guys will run the Tonic which is same ski and is black with blue bubbles...dimensions roughly are 130-100-120
If your looking for wider the ZenOxide which is what I ran yesterday is the same as the el hombre but a pound lighter pretty sweet too... |

| So I guess they got rid of the Reverend? Wasn't this their most popular ski? Interesting strategy. Maybe they figured the Saint was just as good but a bit lighter. |

I love Paper Trail! I remember when I learned on Grouse and we would sneak under the ropes and rip through there so out of control and try and not fall in the huge pits of doom down to the creek. Ha ha. Grouse has done a wicked cut through there and I love that run, could be steeper but I still love it.
Heading off right now on a crazy epic with the traslin Brothers who drove all night to get here...should be sh#ts'n'giggles...  |
