Maybe it only sees a couple of days of use in a given season, but the absolute best turns of one's life deserve the absolute best skis for the purpose. The HB135 is for untracked turns off a heli, out of a snowcat, or a remote mountain that is getting pounded with snow.
Hop into the driver's side, fasten your seatbelt, and expect to make every turn shape at any speed, in all terrain big or technical. And riding shotgun is the most stompy, supportive, yet invisible tail ever created. The HB135 is here to unlock your superpowers.
Available as a limited edition and offered in "kickstarter" format, each length will go straight to production as soon as there are at least 10 pairs ordered. The more folks jump in right away, the faster we can get them on snow. All skis preordered will be pressed and delivered by next fall, but I hold out hope (at least potentially) that we can ski them this season. For those taking the plunge, I will be in constant contact along the way with more firm delivery timings.

Heritage Lab Skis is pleased to announce the HB135, a special collaboration with ski guide and gear reviewer Paul Forward. This endeavor is driven by our shared passion for high-performance powder skis and chasing perfection in every turn. While Paul is likely to review his skis, he is not being compensated for this collaboration and has no financial incentive related to their sales.
