POST #1

It's fitting that my first post be relative to snow. The temps in Salt Lake right now are not showing any signs of winter but from what I understand, there is a cold front moving into the Wasatch and I can't help but think that snow is on the way soon. A lot has happened this year. The brand that my wife Lisa and I founded more than seven years ago has grown into a real company that employs six amazing employees and friends. It went from selling skis from the back of my car to being distributed in over 28 countries worldwide. We have acquired ski pole and glove company, Joystick and have since grown that brand 4x as well as launched apparel and outerwear brand, Causwell which has some big news coming up this month. On top of that we have partnered with audio giant, Skullcandy to create a line of collaboration skis, poles and headphones. And to top it off, we are opening concept stores in Aspen and Park City this fall. Did I mention, I have three children under the age of 4 years old as well. Needless so say, its going to be a busy winter. So when I say, pray for snow, I mean it.
