@rwskier Thanks for the invite. When I mentioned this to my wife, I got a dirty look; since we only have the one day to sight see, it appears that I won't be sightseeing your slalom course. Thanks for your generosity though.

I'll be in Scottsdale, AZ from Sept 20 - 23rd. I have a Free Day on Friday with no obligations and would like to ski a set or two if possible. Any ballers who ski there or that know who I could inquire with? I'm 67 and ski tournaments in GA.

@ETskier , thanks for your input. I plan to post them on SIA (for a friend). There are also templates for making base plates & extra plates that were made in a machine shop.

A friend of mine is an "ex-disabled" tournament skier. He ski'd on the Reflex units only a hand-ful of times. They were bought back in the 90's from Swiss Ski School. What are they worth?

@Justinspaff, HO has many choices. I was going to say the Syndicate or Carbon Omni but based on your demo, it sounds like you're looking for something different than the Omni. I believe you are on the right track with the Omega Max.

What is the status of this year's Ga State Championship? It's still not posted at USAWS and I see two officials that are signed up at TN State.

I'm prejudice but I'd go with the Nautique 200; hands down, especially if your in it for the long haul. Nautiques are all I've ever owned and I've driven and ski'd behind them all.

@Gloersen, that's good stuff. I'm considering S-P at my sight and we don't have tournaments here.

Consider the Nautique 206. I'm not sure what year that quit making this boat but it may be back around 2004-2008?

Congrats Sean on this Big Victory. I know Mom & Dad are proud but with all the early years of training with Keith at LK38, I bet he & Karen feel very good about where you're at right now. Shout out to them, your Mom & Dad; and of course your will to succeed at this great Sport. Keep it up; we're pulling for you.

@oneski, I will not be there this year but I hope you ski well. It'll be good to catch up with you sometime.

No, you need the Syndicate Omni or you could pay a little less and get the Carbon Omni but not the HO Omni. You could fit it with a Front Animal Boot and a Venom rear and you'll be rocking. If you want a toe plate on the back, HO has two to choose from; one of which is adjustable. I use the RTP on the back.

A very good choice would be the HO Syndicate Omni or Carbon Omni; Carbon version is less expensive. My skiing partner is 67 years old and ski's with a front prosthetic (below the knee) and he got back to running the course after a 15 year lay-off and he loves the Carbon Omni. It's wider, stable, but turns very good. I began my season 2 years ago on it and I liked it to the point that I had a hard time coming off of it to go to my higher end ski.

Just ordered "My 1st ever" BOS T-shirt.
