      Sneak peek at next year's Gear: G3 Findr Skis and G3 SCALA Skins - VIDEOS

      At this years Winter Outdoor Retailer Show I got a first hand look (and on hill testing) of the new G3 FINDr Skis. The FINDr's secret sauce is an integrated PU sidewall to dampen any vibration in the ski which provides a really stable, fun, light ski that can tackle variable snow and deep powder alike. The G3 FINDr Skis were mounted with the new Ion 12’s (which we reviewed over here) or the Ion 12 LT’s which are pretty much the same, only with the absence of a brake.

       

      G3 FINDr Skis

      - Flyride Plus construction with PU sidewalls

      - 3D shaping to reduce weight and maintain durability

      - Traditional Camber with early rise

      Models: FINDr 86, FINDr94, FINDr102

      Dimensions: 133 / 102 / 120mm (10cm length)

      Lengths: 174, 179, 184, 189cm

      Weight: 1.48kk / 3lb 4 oz (174 single)

      G3 FINDr Skis

       G3 FINDr Skis

       

      G3 also unveiled the SCALA Skins which use less traditional skin fabric and more scaled plastic skin similar to the Fischer ProFoils. Have a look at the video below for more details. 

      SCALA Skins

      - Urethane Hybrid Tip Connector for  improved glide & ef?ciency

      - Scale pattern offers exceptional edge  traction in technical terrain

      - Stiff material in the tip allows for ?at-packing  and easy ?t in a backpack or jacket

      Sizes: Short 153-169cm, Medium 168=184cm, Long183-199cm

      Dimensions: 100, 115, 130mm

      Weight: 311g / 11oz (115mm width)

      G3 Scala Skins

      The topsheet of the skis look a little bit like the Volkl V-werks katana another carbon ski.  Very different shaped camber/rocker though;  and the G3 is pretty damn light!  Head to head reviews coming up?


      Interesting idea with the Scala.  I was looking at Head's similar offering this year but it was hard to get a hold of.  Another great idea for head to head would be the Momix v. Scala v. full mohair for glide/grip through fresh snow/packed/ icy uptrack.  


      I have a knack for suggesting work that other people could do ;)

      Great suggestions 2wheeler, we've reviewed the V-Werks Katana Skis here and plan on getting the G3 FINDr's for next season as well as a pair of SCALA skins this season (fingers crossed). Currently testing the ProFoils and so far so good!


      Suggestions welcome, someones gotta test all this gear I suppose  ;)
