Winter 2012

Hello

I know its been a while since my last post. This ski season has been tough to write about the skiing and riding with the weather being so fickle. Last winter we were blessed with 126.7 inches of snow fall and scored the third snowiest winter on record according to our local T.V. weather person in Burlington, Vermont. This winter of 2011 /  2012 the tables have turned and we have only received 22 inches of snow to date which makes us the 16 lowest snowfall amount on record for this date, again reported by our local T.V. weather person in Burlington, Vermont.  But there is hope. On January 24, of the year 2000 there was only 6.3 inches of snow recorded, but we ended up the winter with 79.9 inches of snow. So keep your fingers crossed and hope we see the snow return to our mountains again. Be thankful for snow making or there wouldn't be much skiing and riding at all.



 The new look for Kneebinding 2012 /2013 is now being shown at buyer shows.  It  will have new cool textured styling and color, plus a new DIN scale of 3-12 for all models.  Kneebinding is proud to announce that after four years of being on the market place there has been zero injured knees reported.  Typically ACL injuries (anterior cruciate ligaments )  occur once for every 1900 skier days. Kneebinding reports that their skiers have accumulated 80,000 skier days without a reported knee injury, Very Impressive.  Kneebinding is catching hold in the market place and is currently being sold in 6 countries and reports approximately 300 retail partners. Not bad for a "made in Vermont" product. Today's Edge is a authorized dealer for Kneebinding, please stop and see how this unique binding works.

We have plenty of Stockli Demo skis available to try out. You can see which models and sizes we have and reserve them online. The new Stockli Stormrider 95 has gained wide acclaim as a great all mountain tool and the Stockli Laser Cross SX is doing very well in the local ski bum races here in Stowe, Vermont.

thanks,
pray for snow
