New Equipment Seen At World Cup In Davos

Gear News, Newsfeed

You might be excused in your thinking that FIS World Cup stage is about race results and points earned. The way we see it, it is as much about newest equipment and/or new ski related fashion promoted by the world's best athletes. And the most attractive ones too. Especially when the new items are put on display against that gorgeous ( and uber-fancy) backdrop of Swiss Davos. Without further ado - here's what we spotted on the trails of Davos Nordic: Skis [caption id="attachment_9669" align="aligncenter" width="1920"] Quite possibly the biggest novelty on the WC stage: Sandra Schützová premiers Kästle skis.

Skiers Who Switched To New Gear This Summer ( And Some Who Thought To – But Did Not)

Gear News, Leaders, Newsfeed

Today Fischer has proudly announced that it has officially won the battle to become a sponsor to Ingvild Flugstad Østberg. The switch is rather comprehensive: the double Olympic champion “...will place her trust in skis, bindings and boots from Fischer from now on...” Thus ends the “ski drama of the summer of 2018”, rather extensively covered in Norwegian media . The word "drama"" is applicable since it involved two teammates & friends, Østberg and the current World Cup holder Heidi Weng, who long were postergirls for Madshus but felt they underachieved at the Olympics in Korea. At the end Heidi chose to stay with her current skis/boots sponsor, Madshus - while Ingvild went to the “Fischer stable” - where, presumably, she will take the place of retired Marit Bjørgen in…
