First of all, Congrats to Whit, who got 2nd place at Telluride, as well as 5th in Crested Butte this last weekend! Great job WHIT!
BIG NEWS!! Fortitude Skis will be moving to a larger facility at the end of the month!!! The location is in close proximity to the old one, however we will have almost twice as much space! I will start snapping and posting pictures of the new place as soon as possible. As odd as it sounds, I am super stoked to get the new shop organized and set up. In the meantime, we are just packing up boxes and figuring out how to move all of our large, heavy, and bulky equipment.
Oh, and clouds---thanks for the snow this last weekend.

Hey skiers! Kate here.
First of all, Congrats to Whit who got 1st place on Day 1 of the Freeskiing World Tour in Telluride, CO. We'll see how today goes, and hopefully Whit Boucher and Fortitude Skis will have a podium. WAY TO GO WHIT!
The SIA Snow Show has finally wound down and we had a tremendous amount of positive feedback. To see pictures of the 2010/2011 line, go check out Newschoolers.com under day 2 of SIA. Also, keep an eye on the website as I will be putting clips of the new line up as well. At the Snow Show, we debuted our reverse camber ski, called the Krumholtz as well as our ladies ski, the Rosies.
After the Snow Show, we packed and headed up to Winter Park for the on-snow demo. We were shivering a bit the first day (especially Whistler-dog) but ALAS people love the skis. All in all, our skis are known for being on the stiffer side. We had a few requests for softer skis, so we will be developing those in the next little bit to add to our already outstanding line-up.
Next on the list.....! Nick, Mitch, and our dear friend Jimmy will be making the voyage to Snowbasin, UT later this eve to attend the On-Snow demo there on February 9-10. So if you are in the area, make sure to stop by the blue tent with the ducktape sign--oh and the sweet skis.
As for myself, I am working on some awesome custom graphics for Selkirk Tangiers based out of Revelstoke, BC. I will be continuously adding to our arsenal of graphics as well--so keep and eye out for those.
THANK YOUS GO OUT TO: Joe Rabaglia, Adam Quandt, Brad Holden, Big Nick, Giff, Ben Johnson, Sean @ Montana (saved us-no doubt), Jimmy Donahue, Mitch Kortus, and everyone who has done time at Fortitude.
