Baller Skoot1123 Posted April 10, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hey Ballers - am looking for some info on touring the HO Ski factory. I'll be in Seattle the first part of May and thought it would be a good way to go and check out where my ski was made. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator1 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 @skoot1123 We were over there for a wedding about 3 years ago. Just walked in the door and asked, got a great tour, saw this big dude running a mill, it was LaPoint, got to talk to him about ski assembly. Awesome. Hope they will let you in, pretty much nirvana for a engineering guy like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mwetskier Posted April 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 11, 2014 i think they combined there HO and Connelly facilities into one location these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted April 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 11, 2014 I stopped in years back and was told they (HO) were not giving tours any more. Eddie came up and gave me a great tour anyway. A couple weeks later he left HO to do the Radar thing. AWESOME!!! Thanks Eddie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller AdamCord Posted April 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 11, 2014 The HO factory is no longer the HO factory. Obrien also sold their place. They have all moved into the Connelly factory up in Lynnwood. I don't believe they give regular tours but if you call Connelly and ask they might take you through?

gator1 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 @skoot1123: Lady on the phone told us "no". Turned out our hotel for the wedding was just down the block, so we showed up on the doorstep with the (true) stories of our long dedication to O'Brien skis and our disarming Midwestern friendly faces. In we went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
