2009 Hart skis

Thread Starter 
It hasn't been officially posted but I have taken a position with Hart skis as being their representative for the East Coast. I have decided to join the ranks of lousy pay with great benefits.

Now the skis. I just received my first shipment of demos, according to Fed Ex..87 lbs worth, not including bindings. Now, skis are not skis are not skis and these are not your brothers K2's. Hart will be differentiating themselves from the market and have no intention of being mainstream. These Harts are not so much a boutique ski but definitely an premium caliber product along the lines of a Stockli or a Vist. Now a bit about the skis…

The Fuelie line is what really intrigues me, the Stage 1 is a nice 77 waisted ski and the Scarab is an all mountain twin with a 86 waist. The Boss, is a big ass freight train in a 195 length 91 waisted ski. This series also sports a nice textured top skin that should hold up to the toughest of skiers. The Twisted Twin is a spin off (pun intended) from this series.

The Attack and Blue Phoenix are frontside carvers that should hold an edge better than any Gillette and be quicker than any Times Square Three Card Monty Hustler.

The serious skis of the line, the F-17, a world class bump ski that has any mogul field cower in fear and our new Javelin SL our race ready slalom ski that has been redesigned for 08/09.

This is just a taste As soon as I get the rest of the line in my grubby paws, I will post previews. So be ready, Hart is back. www.hartskis.com

The Twisted Twinn looks like a good replacement for the Seth eh?

The Blue Phoenix will be a nice frontside carver. These are all wood core sandwich skis.

If you ever needed a reason to like Philpug, this may be it folks.

We are working on bindings at the moment. Last minute deals. I might do the Vist on the SL's though.

Thanks, when I was a kid, it was not uncommon for me to get a pork chop hung around my neck, so the dog would play with me.

I LOVE my Fuelie Boss' (pre-production '08's bought off fleabay). I think I'll pick up a pair of Javelin's soon as well.
Top quality construction, telepathic handling, and the added bonus of lots of funny looks from people trying to figure out what the hell I'm skiing on.

My Boss' have the same graphics as on the twisted twin. I'm glad I bought mine, it's cool having something very few people ever will.

Man, those look even better today than they did last night: The F-17 is a legend, the Twisted Twin looks sick and the Javelin is even in my color. Sweeeeeeet!

Philpug's worst post ever.

I'm going to call you on it. I'm happy to see Hart making an attempt at making skis, but this plug was quite poorly written.

You've been served.

My first NEW skis were Hart Hornets

They were RED with yellow bases.

I still remember how they looked sitting next to the Christmas tree

I don't really need any new Ski's right now, but I am rooting for HART Skis!

Appear to be hand made in the USA ?

You are lucky..the 195's are some big skis. I am going to try to talk them into offering it in a 180ish for us normal sized guys.

What's the topsheet feel like? It almost looked textured in some of the pictures.

Woops, I didn't mean to sound like the only reason to like you was because you have lots of skis. Or pork chops hanging from your neck. But hell, it's not everyday that you get to chat or ski with a guy that just had 87 lbs worth of skis FedEx'd to his house.

I don't know about the production skis, mine are smooth and glossy.

Hart attack on a plate, sounds like something I would like:. I hate the graphics too, so it must be a great ski. What are the stats on the attack.

So I see a theme emerging here with pork chops and hart attack on a plate. I think Phil needs to organize a demo day with comfort food on the side. Not that pork chops are required to make me want to demo Hart skis, but it can't hurt. On a serious note, I think it's cool to see Hart making a comeback, especially if the skis are good, and it would be beneficial to have some sort of connection/hookup on Epic through Phil. I can't imagine a better gear whore to be their east coast rep!

I can see it now, the demo day buffet will be Fettucini Alfredo with ham and scallions. Double the ham!

I saw a hart in Japan today. I don't know which model it was, blue and white, maybe a slalom or GS ski. I don't remember because I was too busy looking at the sidewall. It was a nice sidewall. I didn't touch, but it looked burly.

Phil,
At Jackson Hole last week, Finndog told us about your new association with Hart. I was with him when he met Stephen and the "are you talking about Flexon Phil" connection was made. Small world!
Hmmm, Phil's Philly Phest, sponsored by Hart. I like it!
Sounds like your making you passion for skis your life's work. Go for it. Break a leg.
Mike

The Scarab is much more ski than the T8 and the Crimson.

I have to wait for Mr. UPS Dude for bindings. He is usually comes later in the day. I was planning on leaving about noon. Gonna be close. Most important, I have to be here to sign for them.

There are three different top skins, yes, there is texture to the Fuelie series and the Competition Skis.

The F17 has a flat tail, right? My old Harts are about to kick the bucket and there's nothing in the new lineup to replace 'em with.

I Guess I Just Wasn't Made For These Times.

I {HART} those new boards! I still {HART} the older Harts too
