The new Krumholtz & Rosies plus revamped Yeti's

Hello friends,

Trial and error has come to fruition in the new Krumholtz, our reverse camber ski. We just pressed the first pair of the new models last night and damn do they look fresh. Our first attempts yielded a stiffness that not even Andre the Giant could flex. So, we shimmied the ski further up on the mold and voila, we got that banana-shape we were looking for. Very nice! Our new women's model, the Rosies is looking good too. Ladies, if you enjoy the Volkl Gotama, you'd probably dig the Rosies. It's a superb all-mountain ski, with enough early rise in the tip to keep you afloat in blower pow.

The Yeti's, our big-mountain skis, are not only looking tight aesthetically—huge abominable snowman face roaring "FORTITUDE!", but structural tweaks have resulted in an even more solid ski. We've added more early rise to the Yeti's for extra floatation.

All of our graphics have been revamped this season, we think you'll be pleased. We are stoked on what our graphic designer, Katie Hendrickson, has done this season. Props, Katie! Pics to come ASAP!

Now, it's hammer-time in the shop as we gear up for SIA in Denver!

Peace.

Tried and True Fortitude Toughness

For those of you that didn't see this last season, check out Team Member Whit Boucher's near fatal Rodeo Five at Snowmass Freeride Competition:

Here's two versions of it, so you can get the crowd's reaction.

Not a scratch on Boucher, or his Yeti's. If that doesn't prove that we've created a quality ski, we don't know what will.

Expect great things from the Fortitude Team this year throughout the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour.

So, some time had passed since our last post, and a lot has happened. Big mountain competitions have started, what better way to test Fortitude toughness. Abbott Smith has just taken second place in the Taos Freeride Competiton, Fortitude's first podium (pictures and vids, coming soon)!! Congrats Abbott! We've got three models ready for orders: Yeti, Lincolns and Delirium. Powder hounds stay tuned for our reverse camber ski, the Krumholtz. Ladies, Nick's little sister designed and perfected a women's all-mountain ski. We've got two graphic options, a cherry red Old Mill's pinup girl and whatever some pro ladyfriends come up with. We'll keep you posted. We hope your seasons have been going well and look forward to seeing you guys out there!
