It occurred to me the other day that this ski was the heir apparent to the very capable Olin Comp IV. It came out roughly ten years after the Comp IV which followed the infamous Orange Olin IV.
The ski in question is the Ohlin Extreme Comp, the 'Ultimate Bump Ski'. I believe it appeared in 1988.
Here's the tale of the tape;
IV, 83-68-77
COMP, 88-70-79
EXTREME, 88-67-76
I think I'll have to do some back to back testing this upcoming season. Of the three I am most familiar with the COMP IV. Never skied the COMP and EXTREME back to back. So I'll have a nice Olin testing night to look forward to!
Anyone have any thoughts about this?
