!!! SOLD !!!
... that was quick test
I picked these up here a couple weeks ago, and had the seller ship them to my hotel in Rutland VT last week. I then had Northern Ski Works install brand-new Attack2 13 AT Demo bindings. These skis came to me Flat, and had previously been mounted for Marker Jesters at 306, and skied 2 days before being sent to me. I skied them for probably 5-6 hours max over 3 days this past week at Killington in a variety of conditions. Bases and edges are naturally great, with just a few scuffs on the tail, but the top-sheet cosmetics really hide any scuffs / scrapes. Overall build quality is excellent IMO. I have given the edges some laps with my Diamond Stones and a fresh coat of Purl Purple, so they are ready to go for the next owner.
What don't I like about them ? In a nutshell they were a bit heavy and a bit stiff , and worked better for me with a bit of speed. My benchmark for ease of skiing, for how I ski, are my older Stormrider 97 177cm. I weighed both this morning and the SR97 mounted with older Attack Demos weighed in at 13 lbs, while the FX96HP with Attack2 Demos weighed in at 14.5 lbs. FWIW I didn't get along with the FX95HP 181 either, but the new FX96HP has a different shape and no metal, so I thought I'd give the latest revision a go. It's not that the FX's were bad, it's just that I like my SR97 better. Choice is a wonderful thing ! FYI I'm 5'9" 170 lbs, 53 yo.
Price: $650 $US, mailing included to USA
Payment via Paypal Friends & Family, or $675 via normal Paypal
Unfortunately mailing skis from Canada to US costs a LOT these days -> about $90 $US
