This Winter was very stingy out west, but for winter lovers in the northeast it was one of the best in memory. We are hoping for a bit more of a balance next year.
Late season we had some great skiing in BC, with a group of us going to Powder Creek Lodge. As usual we had some excellent skiing (testing)….. We had a variety of skier types in the group, AT, Tele, and Hoksters. The Hoks held there own, especially on the final powder days. All of us (six or seven) that used Hoks from time to time during the week used a single pole or tiak. The tiak eliminates the main disadvantage of short skis for downhill skiing - fore/aft stability. We highly recommended you try one if you do much downhill skiing on the Hoks.
