anybody remember harts?

[jaywbigred]

My Mom still has her old Harts, which I picked out for her, in the garage. My first "cap" ski was by Kastle, following a traditional pair with a fluorescent bottom from Dynamic. Its like every company I chose was cursed.

I saw a girl on the lift at Mt. Snow this weekend who had Yamaha skis. Can't say that I ever really put my finger on them as a snow ski brand before.

I remember Harts.
Also, there were Spalding Squadras, Kneissl White Stars and Olin Mark IVs. All good skis, all gone now.

Head Masters.

Not sure who here would be old enough to remember those.

Dynamic VR27 was one of the best skis I ever owned.....the old Black and Gold ones. Had them when I was a freshman in High School.

I bought some of their last production models in the mid-90s....fluorescent tops, bottoms, everything. Still got them and they will eventually be made into a chair.

I recall Dynamic made a small come back a few years back, but didn't do well.

Unfortunately I don't have time to add to this thread, but needless to say..it would be a lot.

When you get some time, it would be great to hear what you have.

Those were great skis DHS! I got these for free from a college buddy when he moved back to Florida. Circa 1985 model. 200cm I skied on them for around 15 years. Don't know why I keep my old skis....these have been where you see them now for years.

Hart freestyles were my first ski...

My most favorite skis when I was younger. Had Look Nevada bindings with leather run away strap.

Check out www.hartskis.com A few dealers in New England

I am working at a major Colorado resort and see a few instructors on the new Hart skis.

Bob Barnes at Keystone is sporting them along with Jerry Berg at Vail.

I just wish I had known of the Hart durability issues before I bought mine.

You've broken Cabrawlers and Twisters in less than a calender year and you didn't bother to research the durability of your F17s????? :???:


That is VERY unengineerlike.

If you want to unload those peices of junk I will take them off your hands.....cheaply of course.

I was only about 10 hours away from being a year separated between breaks. But everything I had heard about the F17s before I bought them was that they were built stronger, more durable, etc. Then I buy them, and it's like a switch, 4 different people tell me about them breaking.

They do break, and DMC will be very mad at me for my trying to put a ski company out of business.

Me - got a pair in the attic. They were my second pair of skis. After went on to a pair of Head 720s.

Akisan2 from the mogul boarf FD his up when we were out at hood last summer, and those bumps were real soft...I was going the F17 route myself but went with the twisters after all the good stuff I heard

I am hoping it's due to them being handmade, and variation in the process. People think handmade=better, but in a lot of cases it just means inconsistency.

I had a pair of Yamaha Paramounts in the mid 1970s mounted with red Look Nevadas. The Paramounts were Yamaha's racing series. I think Yamaha was a pool supplier for the USST and I remember some team members used Yamahas (maybe Suzy Corrock?)

I still have my salmon colored 1986 VR27 210 Geant mounted with pink Geze racing bindings. These skiis were awesome. They were only happy when theu were going over 40mph.:grin:
