August 21, 2005-- In
a story broken first here last week in Tele News, Scotty Bob's
Handcrafted skis of Silverton, Colorado, has announced that they
are expanding into retail shops this fall. "We're in turbocharge
mode. We now have a complete line and the 05/06 ScottyBobs are
the best yet,” says co-founder David Mazzarella. “We’ve
got a new Hua birch core that has an even higher modulus of elasticity
than sugar maple. It’s got a ton of energy. We’ve added
metal tip and tail protectors, beefier fiberglass and we’ve
re-engineered the flex/camber ratios for higher performance.
I think a lot of telemarkers will be thrilled with where we have
taken our skis.”
In the company's official press release,
inventor and co-founder Scotty Bob Carlson says, “I’m
totally stoked that for the first time, anyone can walk into
a store, hold the skis in their hand and check out our design.”
And so are we. At Telemarktips we've been
telling you about these tele-specific skis
for more than four years and we're just as stoked as Scott to
know that tele skier will have easier access than ever
to Carlson's unique, tele-specific design. As we see it, this
is a great opportunity for our readers to confirm what so many
already know, this is the place to get the real beta about innovative
telemark gear.
Greg Floyd, owner of Bent Gate Mountaineering
in Golden, Colorado offers up similar sentiments in the SB press
release, “We try hard to offer our customers something different
and truly specific. I’ve mounted up enough pairs of these
to know that ScottyBob has got something very special going on.
ScottyBob’s design proves that telemark is more than just
a topsheet.”
Yep.
The suggested retail price in shops this
fall will be $550 per pair.
