Hey!! Check out those skis! Hart's eh? Well at least they are based in the US (not sure where they are manufactured). Good ol' Harts makes me think of Suzy Chapstick.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

I thought Hart went out of business YEARS ago. I know they were THE ski for ariels and ballet. Perhaps all the arealists and ballet - I mean ACRO- skiers hoarded them up, like maggots would do if they had the chance with Igneous

Hart is still around. Dave Crichton (sp?) skied on some of their twins before he switched to Dynastar. I think I've seen a few pairs of their modern bump skis around too.
As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

Check out www.hartskis.com
Seems as though they are trying to make a comeback... Put out some jib sticks and bring back the Phatback, and they might just do it.OOOOOOOHHHH, I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!

Interesting... on their products page: "Here are some historical design to whet your appetite (current models and designs may be different)."
