    Tad Elliott at US Nationals in Rumford

    I have booked a ticket to fly out to the Midwest for the Birkie. I’ll be leaving Wednesday, and my primary purpose in making this trip is to support Tad Elliott. Tad is known to most folks in the ski world. He’s a USST B-team member and he scored his first World Cup points this […]

  • Mid-Winter Update 2 – General Impressions

    Bad-Winter Notes & Impressions This winter has been marked by some of the worst snow conditions in memory, nationwide. The industry always struggles in bad snow years, and we feel very fortunate to be dedicated to the relatively stable racing sector. Racers are die-hard – prepared to spend money on equipment, travel and racing; so […]

  • Removing Fluorocarbons…

    Some wax/service questions seem to pop up with regularity. One of the regulars just showed up in my inbox courtesy of Jonathan Patz, and I thought I’d take the opportunity to address it publicly. “We have races off and on now, and I’ve heard it’s important to hot -scape (with soft hydrocarbon) after you race […]

  • Mid Winter Update 1 – Tour de Ski

    On the day after Christmas I flew to Europe to join the US Ski Team for the Tour de Ski. This was the second year I attended the Tour, and it provided another truly unique experience. What follows is a disorganized collection of impressions and notes. Most of my work at the Tour was ski […]

  • Long Weekend

    We’ll be out of the shop this weekend through Wednesday, February 1st. We’re going to the SIA show, and far as the tax people are concerned. I’m thinking it’s a little more of a family vacation. There is a long list of updates due here, including write-ups from both Tour de Ski and Nationals. But […]

  • VIDEO: Fluoro Application & Star 180 degree Iron

    Back in December I convinced Erik Johnson at Jenex to place a limited order for custom-built 180-degree Star digital irons. At the 2010 Olympics the Star guys rented my house in Squamish, and I lived there with them during the games. At the end of the games they had a handful of extra 110 volt […]

  • Paddy Caldwell is Fast!

    Paddy had his best race of the season last year on the J1 Scando Cup. Today he showed his big-race pedigree again with a 5th place in the sprint at the Youth Olympics in Seefeld. Big congratulations to Paddy – we’re so proud (but not as proud as his dad)!

    Tad Elliott at US Nationals in Rumford

    News from Tad Elliott in Davos: “You can sell all my old skis”. Everyone has heard the adage “all ski companies make great skis”. While this may be true, it fails to tell a big part of the story. Quality is one factor, but an equally important factor is understanding. Most of the investment we […]

  • November Competition Report

    Every year we spend the Fall working on skis, and most of the time we’re working its t-shirt weather. At least 60% of our total grind volume gets done when there is no snow. This is good because it gives us a small chance of actually enjoying winter skiing when it comes. But it does […]
