ISPO Munich is in full swing. Time to take a look at this year's innovations in winter sports. With the new React R8, Rossignol offers a ski that will satisfy even the most demanding downhill skier.

Hilmar Bolle, Country Manager Germany&Austria, Rossignol:
React: the name says it all. It reacts well, so that skiers of all skill levels can easily control the ski. A good mix of a race carver and a slalom carver. Versatile(?). So I can go on vacation for a week and have fun with it.”

Increasingly the trend is towards lighter weight. Novel technologies such as Airbubbles in the material make the Dalbello ski boot weigh less than 1300 grams.
Marker gets even lighter with its carbon fiber toe in the binding. Even though it weighs 15% less, the performance on the slopes remains the same.
Sustainability also plays an important role in winter sports.

Florian Pupp, Sales Manager Holmenkol :
We are presenting a new natural line here at ISPO Munich; biodegradable ski waxes that are very easy to handle. I can use the products and ultimately focus on the important things at the end of the day and for me that’s being out there in the snow and having fun.

The new synthetic fibre coating from Nivylen also guarantees more fun in the snow.

Josef Holub, Gründer goodbords:
When you look at the surface of the soles, you might not notice it, but when you ski you’ll notice it immediately: the scratches are smaller, you're faster on the slope and you don’t have to wax them that often."

Customized products are on the rise, from custom-made skis to bespoke ski boots. The focus is on “Individuality”, as with the Scan Fit app by Fischer Sports.

Severin Lehner, Produktmanagement Schuh Alpin Fischer Sports:
Simply use the camera on your smartphone, place your bare feet on an A4 sheet of paper and take a photo of both feet from three different angles, and the app will automatically calculate how long the feet are and then compare them in our Fischer database, with every single boot model. "

The latest winter sports highlights and much more - over four days at ISPO Munich.
