What ski do you use?

[Boomer]

Kidder Redline Graphite... wait, I can't get up on it anymore.

[Rod S]

I've got a bunch of fins that I've been kicking around selling.

1) Schnitzer Slot Fin w. mini wing

2) 88C for Monza ( I may play with this one some more...not sure)

3) 105 which I think fits a bunch of skis but is currently on my old D3.

'02 CDX w/dbl Animals.

Laceup wraps went bad (tore), replaced with Wiley (non-lace) wraps, and my rear leg is thanking me. The Laceup wrap kept cutting into the side of my leg just above the ankle. It would stay an open wound all season, just get healed during the winter, then get torn up again the following season. Now I just have what seems to be a permanent scar there to remind me.

68.5" Carbonworx Outlaw, approach front venom rear.  [email protected] is my best.

How do you like this ski? I know of a 67" that I could get for a good price (1 year old). I'm on a 67 CR7 right now.

[doughickey]

HO CDX (I think it's a 2002 model, but one of the Wiley re-makes from 2004) with Animal front and RTP.

[skibabe]

HO Vengence with Union & RTP

[Woober]

HO CDX with Venom front plate/ RTP. I put a large gash it my ski last summer, (ski rope handle) first time I've ever done that to any ski. Looking for something new, but I really like the CDX.

[skislut]

for relaxing skiing a 2002 HO ASX with Phantom bindings front & rear

most of the time a Wiley's remake of the 2002 HO CDX with Approach bindings front & rear

[VinRLX]

2001 Mapple, double Force plates. Almost time for the sixam.

[doughickey]

Just in case anybody's keeping score.... here's the tally so far:

HO: 18 (Lots of CDX's. Seems to be a favorite!)

KD: 5

O'Brien: 2

Connelly: 1

Carbonworx: 1

Bunch of HO bigots here.

Good thread.

In a few months (as soon as I can ski), that will probably change -1 KD, +1 HO when i get a new stick. definitely leaning towards the monza.

always had a soft spot for connelly. loved my HP graphite until some fool (not me) lost it on the sac river. got a rocket after that wasn't that big of a fan. still sitting in the garage.

PS. Original CDX (including Wileys remake) is a great ski. HO really took a step back with the truth. sounds like they're back on track.

[HRemington]

Connelly F2 w/ double Stokers...just went from the RTP to the rear boot this year to try it out before deciding on a new stick someday...leaning toward one of the D3s.

[CarveItUp]

HO Charger (2000) with HO high-wrap and RTP.

Curious about other skis, though, because this is all I've skied. Hopefully I can try some out this summer and find out if it's the "right" one for me. Like it so far though...

[doughickey]

Man.... wish I had seen this before I went stick hunting. It says (based on the stats)... just go to Wiley's for an HO. Unless you're deep shortline, CDX is the favored.... otherwise try the S8 or Monza. (Glad I sold the "Truth" and chose the CDX instead. You folks have really confirmed I most likely made the right choice.)

Update out of 30 replies:

HO: 21 (70%)

KD: 4

Connelly: 2

O'Brien: 2

carbonworx: 1

I feel another poll coming...

[67rway]

Love the KD CR7 that I bought last fall. Fast and forgiving....

[edwin]

Here's the edwin list..Most of these are in great shape and for sale...System 8 is staying.

HO System 8 - 68"

HO Phantom - 68"

HO ASX - 69"

KD 7000 - 67"

HO PSX - 68"

Duvall 1050 - 66"

EP Tactic - 66"

[Addictedto6]

one warning to KD titanium owners - you all probably know already, but KD had a problem with them breaking when they first came out. one guy at the pond I ski at got pretty messed up when it broke between his bindings.

KD recalled and corrected the problem with the new models.

Hmmm...from a 66 to a 69. I see a steady progression in, um, er, size.

[2 ThumbsUp]

Have been on the HO Charger with the Venom boot and RTP for a few years now.

Old sticks in the rafters of the garage include:

2 - Duvall 900S, 68"

O'Brien World Team Comp

Mrs. Thumbs rides the HO Venture.

Edwin forgot to mention the Apex slalom ski he learned on way back when. His niece has claimed it for her own since she got up on it last weekend. She graduated from her HO trainer skis.

Darren at Wiley's has taken care of us on all of the HO skis.
