I received the Tiaks on Saturday and took them out for a test drive yesterday. They worked great! I finally felt comfortable on the Hoks going downhill. My friend who was good going down with the Hoks with regular ski poles kept going higher and higher on the mountain as the single pole just increased his confidence. My buddy and I both love them and feel they have taken the Hoks experience to the next level.

I LOVE your skis. I’ve done a lot of hiking and snowshoeing and a little bit of cross country skiing but I’m really a novice. I’m 64 now and about to retire and as much as I love to snowshoe it’s so slow sometimes (especially as I get older). I’ve been practicing every day with your skis out behind my house. I have a pair of pac boots I use (which are the most comfortable) and a stiffer pair of Garmont winter hiking boots which are not as comfortable. My pac boots are falling apart and I need to replace them but before I do I wanted to ask you what the best boot to use with your skis is or if it matters. Thank you so much for any input and thank you so much for making these wonderful skis! More snow tonight in Maine!

I just picked up a pair of Hok’s and a set of Yeti Bindings…having amazing fun on them. I have been skiing and snowshoeing for many years and have gone from a pair of wooden downhill skis ripped on a table saw (1971), through no-wax and on to Marquette Backcountry Skis, but none of them can match your Hok ski. Just curious if they have a warranty and what type of longevity I can expect from the skins? Many thanks for a great product.
