So here is a question: How does one return skis that they have skied on? Is someone out there giiving a satisfaction guarantee?

Part of the RPP. Ron Purchasing Process. ;)

But we do at our shop, If we suggest a ski and a size, there is a 100% performance promise. Of course, boots too.

That's impressive!!

BTW the guy who owns or runs Hart was at our resort yesterday. He left about ten pairs of skis and they had them out so everyone could look at them. I think thy will mount some up soon and let people have a demo day. I am anxious to give a few a ride!!

I didn't meet them but I was told that it was the "owner". They left mainly fatter skis with bright colors. I was hoping to see the Javelin SL skis but I did not, but that doesn't mean that I saw everything that they left.

There will be a 102 waisted ski with a bamboo sidewall and a 95 waist with a P-tex sidewall. If you can get on them I would appreciate your opinion. I don't want to give you any preconceived notions about either one.

What are they called so I can make sure I get on the right ones? They were still sitting there unmounted today. We had some great new snow and the wind was blowing over the ridge so in there it was well over a foot deep. It would have been ideal to take them out today. Tomorrow looks to be th same. Hopefully the shop guys get on the ball and mount them up!!

OK, just to update,

PURCHASED: Icelantic Pilgrims. 

Did not sell anything....

NOTE: haven't skied anything that I like nearly as much as Icelantic boards ( with the exception of Phils Never summer prototypes, who makes Icelantics). Just love them.

No, no, Gary....you're thinking of a proctologist.  I mean anthropologist -- someone who studies ancient civilizations and the evolution of the human species.  You know....like Dr. Stephen Leaky and his Lucy....
