SIA on the Snow – Winter Park
Now this is a festival! A snow riders dream, gluttony in every way imaginable. After four days of the SIA Snow Show skiers and riders in the industry are sampling manufactures products at Winter Park Resort and Devil’s Thumb Ranch. During the two-day Ski-Ride Fest, snow sports retailers and media can test gear and accessories they just previewed at the Show including ski, snowboard, AT, telemark and backcountry products.
How can you not resist trying every one of Icelantic‘s skis? A great Colorado company! Their beautiful lines and passion for art and the outdoors is represented in every ski. Their on the snow performance is outstanding to say the least and pretty awesome to look at while riding the lift.
Each ski’s topsheet is produced as an original work of art as you can see below.
How about these beautifully crafted snowboards from Oz Snowboards out of Evergreen? The wood laminate overlays are beautiful and they ride like a dream. OZ Snowboards was founded on a 20 year passion for snowboarding. OZ Snowboards was founded with a simple mission; to build a better snowboard, produced in the USA and built with the least amount of impact on the environment.
Oz looks pretty but there is stealth underneath. They consulted the aerospace industry and incorporated many design concepts and materials used to build light weight aircraft. OZ Snowboard results are boards that are Lighter, Stronger, Faster™.
And there were plenty more there! Faction from Switzerland, Line, K2, Smith, Oakley and of course…
WINTER PARK!!! Great day out there!
