Her Father Dale was my boat driver when I was a kid during the summer when I used to ski over at Carl Roberge’s place. Lisa was always a sweetheart with a kind soul. RIP Lisa you will be dearly missed.

Best rear boot in a long long time. Big high five to the HO crew.

So sad to hear the news. He lived right down the street from me growing up. One of the most gifted, talented skier I’ve ever seen. RIP Kreg

Guys you gotta understand the mindset of a athlete and how that person feels with there equipment. Yes Manon is on the GT and it’s the same ski she just won the world title on. So she probably feels super confident on that ski and if I had just the world title on it too in really tough conditions just like Moomba I’d probably ride the same ski. I’m not barking back at anyone I’m just giving my 2 cents what her thought process was going into Moomba. Let her enjoy her first Moomba title ! Congrats Manon

looks good , looks crazy fast and I like the side to side tempo here ! Happy New Year !

The new Masterline rope is legit guys. I skied a 2 round record tournament over the weekend and yesterday the first round I just skied the tournament rope cause I’ve never used the new ML rope yet. I ran 3@41 , yesterday and today I kept hearing from other skiers how good the new rope feels so I was like what the hek I’ll give it a try and got around 4 ball at 41 today and made a hard s turn but just missed the boat guides to get a full 4 so got scored 3.5 @41 !! Ended up being my best score of the year. I think the difference was I had more support and width out to the bouy and wasn’t falling over through the turn without inside body lean. With some ropes I feel narrow out to the bouy and then the boat is running on me and then I definitely can’t get rotated under the line at that bouy. From that point on now you’re chasing and in the fight. Not a fun feeling. Today felt really good and pumped to end my last round of the season with a deep 41 and yes I’m loving my new 68 !! Cheers everyone, CP

@kc , John is talking about the 67 . What size are you wanting to try or riding ?

The Sixam was one of my favorite skis of all time. It could run huge scores at tough places like the Masters and Moomba and just SMASH at places like trophy lakes etc. It was the first ski that Andy quit slam dunking on his onside turn. That was pretty cool too see with Andy and I watched him run a lot of 41’s on that ski !!! ( 36mph)

Doesn’t get any better !!

@oneski I completely agree with you. Nothing with these incredible surgeons we have in our works today but they don’t quite get the stress , loads , forces and a lot of times taking the hit in a unbalanced position. My father aka Arnold had the fusion and he hasn’t had any problems or reoccurring symptoms and that was quite a while ago. It was when artificial disc was just an experiment and not quite out yet. I ended up having C5 / C6 artificial disc replacement and it took a long time to fully fully recover 100% and I was quite surprised that it took longer than expected to be back on the water. The upside to this is that you’re giving the rest of your body to really heal and repair itself. That was one thing that really stood out when I got back on the water. I hope this helps and wish you a speedy recovery!! Take care - CP

Mah ha who

Thanks so much guys for the nice comments , really means a lot . Can’t tell you how excited I am to be with such a great brand like HO and the people that are involved with it. Got to spend 2 days with the team at Shreducation last week at Jacks and it was great to see the synergy with the team and everyone working together. It was great catching up with some of the HO dealers that I’ve know for years and getting to meet ones I’ve never met before . Have a great season everyone!! CP

Thanks everyone. I’m looking forward to a fun year doing some competitions and my traveling clinic tour. It felt good to let people know what I was really dealing with and not injury related. Horton and Trent did a awesome job and I was thrilled they wanted to inlude me on episode 13 ! I wish everyone a successful and healthy season in 2019 !! Cheers

That’s some of the best skiing I’ve ever seen from Regina. I’ve got to ski with her quite a bit and see her ski at quite a few tournaments but 39 she ran was ridiculous. The space she had between the bouys and how fast she was moving through the turn was for me personally the best I’ve ever seen from Regina. After seeing that 39 no doubt she was getting down the course at 41 and looks like she could’ve done more but very smart on her end. Big congrats Regina. One of the nicest ladies I know in the sport.
