My Syndicate S1 is showing some signs of age and is getting soft. So, I'm looking for a new ski. Most of my skiing is free-skiing, but I do run a course a dozen times per year. I'm late 50's and weigh about 200 lb.

I'm looking at the 2018 or 2019 HO Syndicate Omni. I kinda like the cross-over idea, but I really want a ski that can also perform at chasing buoys. Anybody have any real life experience on this ski? Have you run a course with it? Impressions? Other suggestions?

I have no info to offer on it, but just read the description from their web site and like you am curious for some feedback. At 200 lbs. I'm wondering if you'd go with 67 or 69", you are right on the line for that decision.

I went on-line at balls of spray and read some good reviews. Based on all I saw, I decided to pull the trigger and just ordered a 68". The most I've ever spent on a ski....

On the HO web site it shows 65, 67, and 69". How did you order a 68"?
