@Horton how did it smell?

[DooSPX]

Thanks for the Vid. So its a new design all together?

[The_MS]

That is a lovely chair you were sitting on.

[Horton]

@DooSPX More or less yes it is an all new ski. There are always elements from other skis.

 

@JJVDMZN I think it is the best looking HO I have ever seen. It is a really sharp ski.

[Wayne]

@MS I was thinking the same thing. Maybe lazyboy can be the next sponsor.

[DooSPX]

Thanks @Horton. Looks like I have a new ski to try when I get bored with my CoX SL. (Not happening anytime soon)

[Horton]

@ms that chair is 50 years old and awesome

Who came up with the edge design at HO for the CX and Freeride? If the CX SL is still an entry short line ski will we see this edge design move up to the A3 or S2 level skis? I'm just wondering if the CX level ski will be a test bed for HO with out risking their upper level skis until the team skiers say "it's a go for the public". Seeing this design move up from the Freeride line kind of says to me that it's not just a short lived gimic. Since I haven't even had a chance to try the Freeride I may be off base but it still has me wondering while I stare at 2 feet of snow.

I took two rides on the SuperLite today. The review in one word "FUN".

 

Gimme a few days for details.

@Wayne....I think your on the right track. The speed steps first made their appearance on the Co X. Now it doesn't have them anymore they moved them to the S2 and TX.

[Horton]

@Wayne I can't speak for HO as far as who actually did the design. Dave Wingerter is the engineer. I am sure Dave is working on something new. That is his job.

 

I am going to take a few more rides on the ski before I write any kind of review.

I'm interested to check this out. I have a COX, liked it so much I picked up an earlier version of the superlite. This new one is very interesting.

[Commuterfisher]

Put on that wetsuit and review that ski! Can't wait for your review.

 

 

[Horton]

Sorry about the delay. The weather has awesome but non-ski stuff have kept me off the water.

[Horton]

Skied once yesterday and once today. Confused. This is a $900 ski. How should I frame the review? It took me a few rides to get comfortable but this thing is great. Is it as good as the skis that cost $1400 or more? Sort off and maybe depending on your skiing level.

 

More to come

@Horton - Throw it at a couple of -22 /-28 skiers for some cross section of opinion??

[Horton]

@ozski I just did that.
