I tried to find an answer to that during the Olympics and didn't get anyway... mainly because I wondered about those retro-looking Harts that the winning skier was using and why I hadn't heard about them before. It was a dead-end search for me though. Hopefully someone in the know has more info because I'm curious about that, too.

"Hart" with a capital "H" is a Japanese company. "hart" with a lower case "h" is "Hart Skis USA." The "Hart Fusion" is the Japanese ski. It's an excellent ski, but that "Hart" isn't the same as our "hart." They have some sort of agreement with regards to where they market and sell, hence why we can't find any info in the states about the Japanese Hart.

That explains it. For the longest time I was wondering whether Mikko Ronkainen and Jen Heil had a special topsheet from hart USA. Wait.... that means the Hart Fusion won the men's silver and women's gold in Torrino 06. Reverse of what happen in Vancuver 10; men's gold and women's silver. Must be a great ski to win all those medals :-o

Turning Japanese!

The Japanese "Harts" are made in China and sold mainly in Japan.
The "hart" USA skis we're selling are from an American Company www.hartskis.com
The F17 World Cup and Classic skis are handmade in Italy. They are working on having some new models made on Vashon Island Washington.

Twister Action Pics wanted!! Greg???

We'll be carrying the Famous Dynastar Twister again for the 2011 season. We stocked them in the spring of '09 and they were a big hit. I'm looking for some local twister action photos. Perhaps shot on Gunny!
What do you guys got?

Thanks

We plan on doing a few demos at Sundown next season. We did an informal one with Hart this season that gave us some good feedback.

What about Bindings ?

Just a heads up... been hearing some goods things about the Salomon Z TI series bindings. Couple of the guys at ms.net likes them, no pre-release yet and they are really light. I can feel a difference between them against the looks/rossi pivot/axail , the FKS series and the Marker jesters. The later being marketed as a light binding also. After felling how light they were and I almost bought it on the spot but thought better of it...my domestic tranquility index indicator has been on the negative side lately :???:

Just sayin cuz this might be the next hot item and prolly will be mandatory CLITs equipment like the twisters, dalbellos, bandanas and puffer snow pants.

There is absolutely no doubt that skidmarks is a contributing member. He's posted several videos, has been involved with gear discussions, etc. Suburban has even offered special deals to AZers. I think tossing out the "spam" card in some instances is rather short-sighted.

It's an unsolicited advertisement in it's on thread in the wrong forum (shouldn't this be gear?) with nothing but a link to a store and marketing text. Call it what you will.
