However, these advantages were obvious during my two-day test in Arizona (I planned to ski in Mount Hood, Oregon, where conditions were worse than the Southwest, but during a big spring storm under winter consultation, I wasn’t interested in the roads in the winter and I wasn’t interested in the rented Nissan Rogue).
Most skiers agree that soft skis are better on bumpy terrain or good snowfall terrain, while harder skis are more comfortable at higher speeds. Exchange between the two is essentially a promise of Renoun design. I skied from the slightly icy top of the top to the muddy bottom in mid-March and found that the endurance 88s had been doing well. When I wanted them, I kept the edges all the time, not holding on to them while carving turns, without vibrating even at the top speed.
The Hono skis I’ve tested are also significantly easier than my regular rides, and it’s a pair of ten-year-old fleet TSTs, the same length. Statistics show that each ski has a 100gr difference. This means that the Henonnie skis are about 5% lighter, although the different bindings make it difficult to compare directly. My demo pairs have adjustable bindings that are heavier than standard bindings, and the skis are still noticeably lighter.

Fresh legs
The main advantage of skiers like me bombing Renoun in Bruce is that suppressing vibrations keep your legs fresh. Unfortunately, I was cursed by the bad life decision to flatten and could only go out a few times a year, so I usually find my legs are jelly after two days. But the day after my two sessions of renting a pair of CEP compression socks, my legs were the same as a normal day, and my legs were no different, after extension, I woke up at a height of 7,000 feet.
The goal of the company’s statement is to stop you from thinking about snowboards, and that’s my experience – when I was reviewing them, I had to force myself to stop and think about them, not just enjoying the views of the cable car. My only thought was that the blue-gray color scheme looked bad, my green and orange boots, and I wish they were bolder in style.
