base material
The Grace Blue base material has arrived. DuraSurf™ 4001Sintered Running Surface
A higher molecular weight version of the standard product, DuraSurf 4001 takes an already industry-best durability to an even greater level. Without a doubt the toughest material on the hill. Steel for the press arrives tomorrow...things are getting close around here. Designs are done, materials are ordered. Well almost, need top sheets and side walls..lets get that done this week. The carbon is in the mail! 4.1 OZ and 9 OZ uni carbon for stringers! Can you feel it? We can. Also contacted Marker for 5 pair of Jester 16 Demo Bindings. As I type this i am reminded not everyone is 195 LBS better get some 12s for you lighter folks!

Tighten your DIN
The snow started to fall and the base is accumulating. We can all look forward to a ski season full of snow, exhilaration and the dream of tightening our respective DINs. Tighten your DIN, that is a phrase we can feel righteous about moving forward. There was a free skiing competitor by the name of, well it wont come to me. He was from Taos, carpenter by summer, broke both his ankles one year, skied in a few Warren Miller movies etc etc..what was his name?? Someone? Anyway, he stood amongst the rabid skiers in 1999 in Whistler delivering this advice to us up top. "Tighten your screws". I personally didn't let his advice register, lost both my skies in a 40 foot tumble. What he was trying to tell us was to "Tighten our DIN"... on our bindings. Competition tenses up everything, thus the bindings need to hold a little extra tight! The other DIN setting is in ones head. DIN is noise, bothersome hindering noise, that reverberates and fills our heads. We ask you to Tighten or squelch that noise when you go skiing, or all the time for that matter. Keep the noise out, leave the phone at home, log into your Epic Mix when you get to the couch, enjoy the silence while on the snow...keep tightening your DIN.
