K2 Products 2022 – 2023

K2 kick off the hype with an all-new ski range called the Dispatch. Replacing the old Wayback and Talkback touring series of skis, the Dispatch range promise improved downhill performance, at an impressive weight. K2 has also tweaked the titanal laminate, found on the Mindbender range, to provide more power towards the tips and tails for a more locked-in ride. They’ve also removed the Alliance naming, in place of a ‘W’ range – e.g. Mindbender 106 W.

With the closure of Full Tilt boots, it was only a matter of time before we saw a K2 branded three-piece boot. K2’s boot range has now essentially swallowed up the Full Tilt range, with just a few naming changes being the most obvious differences. We were stoked to see that many of the pro lines are still going too.

K2 have also unveiled a brand new touring boot, also called the Dispatch. Kind of like the Reacon, the Dispatch range is boasting a few more touring-friendly features, for increased time on the skin track.

FW Products 2022 – 2023

Dynafit Products 2022 – 2023

A new TLT ‘X’ (10) featured on the Dynafit stand. Dynafit have changed up the speed nose for a regular alpine touring toe and heel welt for improved crampon compatiblity. Only Dynafit’s dedicated race boots now feature the speed nose.

Speaking of crampons, Dynafit have released a collapsible crampon that’s able to fold in on itself for improved packability. This is similar to what Petzl achieved in the past, but we love how Dynafit has used wire for the connection, rather than flimsy cord.

Scott Skis 2022 – 2023

The Pure range from Scott grows from one to seven skis, including an updated Pure Mission ski, which refreshes the old, but legendary, Scott Mission. Scott have also looked to make things more sustainable, too, with a Superguide LT 95 Re-Source, which has been made from 60% recycled materials. Definitely a step in the right direction from Scott.

Black Crows Skis 2022 – 2023

Just updated topsheet designs from Black Crows. We’re not complaining, though, as these designs are looking sick. We’d expect nothing less from Black Crows, mind.

Black Diamond 2022 – 2023

Black Diamond have given their Helio range a new lease of life with updated topsheets, but it’s the same carbon construction beneath. Black Diamond have focused their energy on their accessories line, with new gloves, ice axes, crampons and transceivers featuring some really innovative designs.

Volkl, Dalbello, Marker 2022 – 2023

There’s been a lot going on in the MDV (Marker, Dalbello and Volkl) headquarters. Starting with Volkl, they’ve updated their all-mountain series with a new Kendo, Kenja and Mantra. The Revolt series lives on with new topsheets, while their touring range of skis are apparently selling like hotcakes.

Marker have brought updates to the toe unit of both the Alpinist and Kingpin series of touring bindings. These updates provide an easier step in and what looks like a more beefed up construction. Dalbello have released their all-new Veloce four buckle alpine boot range and an all-new Quantum Evo touring boot (excuse the blurry photo).

Atomic 2022 – 2023

The new Bent range was a big launch for Atomic this year, with the range now encompassing everything from 80 – 120 mm. The narrower Bent Chetlers are said to be replacing the old Punx range as dedicated freestyle skis. Atomic have also brought in many improvements to their ski touring boot range, with a wide range of offerings for many foot shapes and ability levels.

Line Skis 2022 – 2023

What happens when you fuse the Line Blade with the Vision? Well, it looks like you get the all-new Blade Optic. The Blade Optic brings the Gas Pedal Metal power from the Blade and the playful shape of the Vision, to make a ski that’s a joy to throw around the resort, no matter the speed. We’re looking forward to getting out on these.
