skibumm Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ok I am going to be getting a new ski this year. I am 48 yrs old running 34 mph and will consistently run into 28 off and can get inot 32 off on a good day. I am currently on a KD7000 with the brake removed. I ahve skied this ski for 14 or 15 years. I am looking to get something new with boots even though they scare me a bit and have not researched them as of yet. I ma torn between the HO S2 and the A3 as the front runners. I am a neutral to front skier as I grew up sking skis that you really needed to stomp on the front to slow down. That is why I have pulled the brake off of the fin on the KD it just stopped to fast and threw me out of position. The thing on the S2 that concerns me is that they made no changes to it but the A3 is a totally new ski and I am guessing that the S2 will get a makeover next year and I will be disapointed with not waiting.

Baller ral Posted March 3, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 3, 2013 If you are on a KD 7000, include D3 in your list. They have a test system, so why not try it? Or, better yet, contact Seth to test multiple skis before picking one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller estrom Posted March 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 4, 2013 What @ral said. The HO skis you mention are awesome, but trying a new D3 might be a natural transition from your current ski. Hard to go wrong with an X7, Fusion, or Quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Brady Posted March 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 4, 2013 @skibumm I have to put a prop in for the RadaR Strata. Beautiful ski and beautiful boots, with beautiful results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Garn Posted March 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 4, 2013 I absolutely love my S2. Haven't skied an A3 so I can't speak for it. Garn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller brody Posted March 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2013 your best bet is to call seth and discuss your skiing style and needs and he will make sure that you get on a ski that suits you, regardless of what brand it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
