The 2008 HO Monza is more refined evolution of an
already best selling ski. The previous versions of the Monza are known
for their ferocious speed and near ninety degree turns. The new Monza is
all those things but smoother and more forgiving. Unlike previous years
Ski Test reviews of the Monza, this years team used words like “big
sweet spot”, “stability” and “forgiveness”. A lot of the Monza’s appeal is that it can be very fast and responsive while being smooth at the same time. Edge changes and turns require only a minimum of effort. The finish of the turn is symmetrical and fast on both sides of the course. When pushed, the Monza will finish the turn surprisingly fast. Ridden more patiently and with more weight on the front of the ski it will deliver a carving turn. With a big sweet spot and substantial speed this ski is ideal for a wide range of skiers looking to get to the next level in a hurry. Fin and binding adjustments are particularly critical on the Monza. It is like a small sports car with a big motor! Lots of horse power just waiting for you to press on the gas and go! I like a ski that I can ride and think about my skiing rather than the ski. Has anybody seen my check book? Chuck Dickey  The ski is extremely forgiving. I was able to make up ground even after making a mistake. Don Younger The HO Monza is a very responsive ski with a high performance limit. Skied well, this ski will go deep in to shortline. Dwight Woodbridge This ski would benefit a wide range of skiers and ability levels, from those skiing the course at long line, to those shortening the rope significantly. Of all of the HO Monza skis tested in the last three years as part of the Independent Ski Tests (i.e. 2006, 2007 & 2008), this Monza was my favorite! . Nichole Baird |
