SHUSWAPSNB.COM - HO SKI SPECIALS

Expert Advice, Top Brand Names, Guaranteed Low Prices


Please note: All slalom skis are priced as blank skis without bindings. Skis sold as pairs include bindings.
The MONZA Slalom Ski
The Monza was designed with one thing in mind -- speed. It has a new lightweight Synaptic Core, so it weighs only 3 pounds. A 15" forebody flat-spot aids in stability and carries speed. The 90 degree top edge maximizes width into turns while a concave blending radius hold the pace through the finish. With the largest inside radius ever built into a high-end slalom ski, the Monza carves tighter turns with better hold upon completion. Overall softer bevels and a Dual-Bevel pattern produce a tighter ride creating a specific sidewall thickness ratio for a ski that rides balanced from tip to tail in the water.

For the skier looking for absolute speed and supreme control, the System-8 is a balanced ride ready to take skiing to another level.

The BLAST Combo Skis

The Blast skis are built with shaped sidecut design, adding surface area that creates steadiness. The deep "V" bottom creates stability on deep water starts and adds tracking in rough water. Threaded inserts in the front of the skis make them compatible with the optional stabilizer bar that adds control while getting out of the water. The tails of these skis are made for the addition of optional tail weights which will take time out of learning or teaching someone to ski.

Available in 59" - skiers up to 120 lbs (55 kg)
63" - skiers 70-150 lbs (32-68 kg)
67" - skiers 110 lbs and up (50 kg)

The STABILIZER BAR and TAIL WEIGHTS
HO combo skis have options that make the learning process easier than ever. The stabilizer bar holds the tips of the skis at a consistent distance from each other, stopping the skis from heading off in different directions. The tail weight system adds just the right amount of weight above the fin so that the skis float tip-up in the water without effort from the skier. The weights also steady the skis on deep water starts initiating controlled up-and-outs.

The EXCEL Combo Skis

The tunnel-style bottom of the Excel combos gives a solid stable ride, and a steady edge to cut on. The stiffer flex helps the Excels plane easier and keeps them from dragging behind and breaking the skier at the waist. Excels are also fitted for the optional stabilizer bar and tail weight system.

Available in 59" - skiers up to 120 lbs (55 kg)
63" - skiers 70-150 lbs (32-68 kg)
67" - skiers 110 lbs and up (50 kg)

The HOT SHOT Training Skis

These trainers are the answer for teaching small children to ski the easy way. To start they have a detachable stabilizing bar that securely holds the skis the proper distance apart to ensure control and confidence when learning. As the child progresses the bar can be removed providing more freedom. They have a wide tail shape so they plane easier and fibreglass reinforced construction for many years of service. Included with the trainers is a "How To" video and special tow-rope. For children up to 60 lbs (27 kg).
