SIA is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.
It might be a revolutionary new product from a leader of the industry.
It could be an up and coming young brand looking to shake things up.
It could be a well developed and refined class leader, or it could be just plain weird.
This article is for the outliers.
They could be a really dumb idea or they could just be the next big thing, you decide… Of course you have.
Most people learn their lesson and set them on the ground or in the rack instead.
Some skiers though are just too ingrained in their ways.
Never fear, we have a solution.
Just wipe the ski road grime off your door and suction cup this nifty rack to your car.
Now your skis will stay upright.
Disclaimer: this rack is not designed to hold your skis while in motion.
The Floaty Bootpack
What do you get when a snowshoe and a rubber raft have a baby?
This nifty little contraption.
Rumor has it next year’s model will fire up the wearer to walk on water.
This product is for you.
I guess it also finally answers the poles vs no poles debate.
Who needs skins, a beacon or an airbag?
Surrounding this mecca of action sports video are a plethora of booths looking to capitalize on this success.
Unfortunately instead of innovating many of them are literally trying to re-invent the stick.
I guess though that this is just the american free market system in action.
Supply and demand baby!
It could lead to potential hilarity on any downhills though.
The Suspended Disbelief
Does skiing hurt your knees?
Have years of flat landings beat your legs into a painful pulp?
Are you lacking a little spring in your step?
Try out these suspended bindings.
Now you could huck cliffs without having ever having to bend your knees.
Just don’t ever crash and eject out of your bindings.
You might not look as cool trying to hike back up for a lost ski wearing these bad boys.
The “I have no words”
Ummmmm?
The slogan of this brand was “You’ve never looked this good from behind.”
That really just sums it all up.
