How are HG Skis and J Skis different?
Made in the same factory and pretty much the same specs, price and the edgeless tip and tails.
Both in the same city in Vermont, and both have the owners name as the company name.

That’s a great question.
HG Skis developed a brand and a product in the trenches.
We built a team which tested our products in the streets to meet the needs of today’s freeskiers.
We’ve been doing this for 4 years.
We’re very sure of who we are - a tight knit company of friends.
We create what we enjoy.
This means no edge bending is required before pressing, and thus less stress in the ski assembly.
This has eliminated the issue of edges blowing out the sides of a ski tip.
Our skis will certainly ride differently than J Skis.
This is why we have one of the poppiest skis on the market.
Our sidecut is also 18m compared to 20m and 21m.
This means the Stinger will hook you into tighter turns, making it extremely nimble and quick.
The Stinger is a symmetrical center mount ridden ski.
There’s no doubt that HG Skis and J Skis are in the same market.

After 4 years and only one ski, are you going to make another ski?
If so what kind of ski is it going to be?
We decided a while ago that our main priority was to do one thing and do it well.
The Stinger shows what we’re capable of when we devote ourselves to perfecting a ski.
We have prototypes and concepts for all mountain and powder skis already.
We also will be offering a rockered version of the Stinger next year in addition to the current version.
Will you guys put out the stinger in bigger sizes?
Would def come if they came in and 185 or around there?
(FreeVillain)
We will be offering a 186cm for the 2015/16 season.

I’m doing maplefields breakfast sammies, nutter butters, and slim jims.
Is my snack game on point?
How can I level up?
Also, who picasso’d your topsheet?
Maplefields breakfast sandwiches are gross.
Add some tangy or sour flavors to diversify the palate.
