The 2005 Monza was the best one.


I have skied on 05, 06, 07 mine, 08 and then swithched to A1, A2

After the 05 monza, HO tweaked the skis every year slightly.

If I had the 05-08 monzas tuned and ready to go the 05 would be my choice and I can guarantee that it would ski better. But NOT as good as the A1 or A2

Is the Connelly HP any good?

MX, if you want to reconsider the MPD, I relisted it on eBay for $269 plus $30 to ship. It's in your price range and a better ski than this others listed on that page under $300. Food for thought.

Not if you want current technology.

That's what I figured. Sent you a pm, Doug.

mx... I will sell you my ho bindings cheap... just picked up some phantoms... I have the HO level bindings x-large...they should fit Easttx's ski - you can get a great ski - good double boot bindings...and you're off to the bouy's let me know...

What year are the bindings? My ski is a modern HO hole pattern. As long as they aren't too old, they should work.

Front was bought 2010 and rear was bought in spring 2012 they are now on a 2010 Triumph pictured.

Brand new 75.00 each - I would sell for $50 for both plus $15 est. (could be less) - freight. I think a fair price for the bindings.

Size is large - xl so it will fit you.

Some of the white vinyl coming off top of boot. but does not affect boot performance.

Should fit my ski no problem. It's on ebay and I offered it to MX for the cost of the opening bid plus shipping, which brings it to $299 delivered. I think he's looking to get ski and bindings for that price, and I will keep it for any less than $299 delivered. So we may not be able to work a deal.

I'm' already 10 lbs down from when I listed it. Another 10 and I will probably hang onto it through the winter so I can compare it to the 68" Radar Vice I bought. I might decide the 67" MPD is a better fit still.

[mikeg205]

no prob... it's a good offer... I know we both can sell our equipment.
