Baller rq0013 Posted February 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 4, 2013 I saw on D3's site they have a new ski called the Quest. Has anyone heard anything about this ski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted February 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 4, 2013 What!?! no pre-launch buzz? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have seen some R&D skis and rode something that might have been sort of like the final ski. All I know for sure this that they have been tweaking like crazy for a year. They are getting good at keeping secrets. I watched a friend ride one two weeks ago. Looked really good. I need to confirm but I hope to ride it for a weekend in about a month.

Baller BraceMaker Posted February 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have always loved that the new D3's are not priced crazy. Just because its a new model does not mean it comes out 300$ more than their previous new ski, so the Quest is listed at the same price of all their other top line skis.

kfennell Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 They were testing one at SMRR this weekend, maybe someone will come chime in on how they liked it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted February 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 4, 2013 Interesting that you're starting to see more and more skis with variable concaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller swc5150 Posted February 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm their email list, from purchasing a number of skis from them, and they haven't even put out an email blast regarding the Quest. Glad I popped out to BOS, or I would have no knowledge of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jdarwin Posted February 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 5, 2013 I talked to Will Bush about the ski at the AWSA board meeting. A variation of the X7 w/ very good results. Rides higher, creates better space before the buoy and the tip stays down thru the finish better. I'll have a 67" and 66" for demo by March 1.

Baller_ Wish Posted February 5, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted February 5, 2013 Looked at the D3 site and size chart for the quest. There I am again....between ski sizes. I would think 185 would be a common waight. You'd think ski companies would go to lengths in more of a 66.5, 67.5 and a 68.5 (do away with 65, 66, 67). I want to try it but I end up having to try two all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted February 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 5, 2013 @jdarwin Let me know when you get a 67. I'll come ski with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 5, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2013 I believe this ski evolved from the X7 but would not think it will feel very similar. Whole new product from what I understand.

Baller jdarwin Posted February 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 5, 2013 Let me clarify - I was told they started with X7 as a platform and evolved shape, bevels, rocker, etc to create the new ski. I did not mean to infer that it was simply an "improved" X7. There are those that really like the X7 (i.e. my daughter) and would disappointed if it were no longer available. @shaneh - after March 1.
