Important Scheduling Update


CaldwellWinterCalendarNormally we expect to finish our busiest work time just before Thanksgiving, and then coast into a relatively easy period of light grinding volume and fun family skiing. This year we’ve blown right through our transition to easy days without slowing down. We’ve been busier than ever in the shop, and without Tom here that means that I’ve actually had to do some work. Terrible thing.

We also decided to participate in a demo at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center last weekend. What a great opportunity! Several hundred dedicated skiers taking laps past our tent on a 1.5K manmade snow loop. Talk about a captive audience! The demo went so well that we’ve decided to go back this weekend. We left the tent and wax table up at Craftsbury and are headed back tomorrow morning.

After next week things get complicated, and our travel schedule means that we’ll be out of the shop quite a lot. Here are the highlights:

December 28&29 Aspen Cross Country Center Clinic & Demo
Our friend Dave Peterson at the AXCC has put together a program for us to plug into out in Aspen, so we’re headed out there as a family for a little vacation/business trip.

January 4-10 US National Championships in Midway Utah
We’ll be at Nationals testing our Vauhti wax line along with others, and providing race service for Kris Freeman and maybe one or two others.

Those two events back right up to each other nicely, and so we’ll be out of the shop from December 24th through January 12th. We’ll continue to ship e-commerce orders, but will not be grinding skis.

January 24 Amy Departs for World Junior/U23 Championships in Val di Fiemme
Amy is on the service staff for this event again this year. Val di Fiemme will be way more fun than last year’s trip to Liberec!

January 28 Zach Departs for Sochi
I’ll be gone for just over a month, and we won’t be grinding skis during that time

Please DO NOT ship skis for grinding to arrive while we’re gone!

Please confirm any grinding work by phone or email in advance!

We will continue to ship Web orders from our e-commerce site throughout the winter.
