Winter 2012/2013 New Brand Highlights: MOMENT SKIS
HANDMADE IN THE USA
Powder7.com is proud is to announce that we are now an official dealer for MOMENT SKIS! We have had a few small announcements through our social media outlets and you may have seen a few models on the website over the past couple months but I wanted to inform our customers and future customers via an official Powder7.com blog post! For Winter 2012/2013 we will be carrying at least 9 different models from the Reno, NV based ski manufacturer!
Moment Skis was founded back in 2004. The company started out as a couple of super cool guys hand crafting skis in a garage. For two years they designed and built skis for friends and family members. Then in 2006 they started actually selling their skis and the company blew up. Fast forward 6 years and now the company sells thousands of proudly "Handmade in the USA" skis to passionate skiers all over the globe. It's hard to believe but over 95% of the materials utilized in a Moment build are from suppliers here in the US.
The ski makers have created an arsenal of models that cater to most every type of skier. The award winning PB & J is one of the most versatile "quiver killers" on the market today. The ladies Bella is an all mountain crusher. Then there is the venerated Bibby Pro, possibly one of the greatest hard charging backcountry jib skis you will ever come across. With technology like "Dirty Mustache Rocker" coming out this fall it's a guaranteed bet that these guys will have something for you and yours...and yes they make Junior skis as well.
I can't emphasize enough how incredibly stoked we are to be working with such an innovative and unique, top of the line brand. We are even more stoked that we can now deliver Moment Skis to you, wherever you are. The new 2012/2013 products will be available for sale starting this fall, although we do have a couple 2013 models available already....shhhhh
Check back every Thursday for a New Brand Highlight. We are carrying upwards of 20 new brands for the Winter 2012/2013 season and will be giving you a little preview of what you have to look forward to this fall.
Weekend Funny: Sloths Are Cute
Ski Season is pretty much over. We're really sad about it. We needed something to cheer us up. We're certain this will cheer you up too.
And of course this other video has to go along with it:
Her reaction comes at minute 2:00 but you should watch the introduction to really appreciate the reaction.

Beach Party! Arapahoe Basin 2012
Looking good guy
Well folks,
Its that time of year again. Time to swap out your powder boards for the vintage Fischer RC4 SL's, break out the neon colored onesies and grab your favorite beer coozy. Its Beach season! Every spring Arapahoe Basin becomes notorious for being one of the top destinations in Colorado for Gapers, bladers and ragers. When all of the other resorts, aside from maybe Loveland, have powered down their lifts and shut their gates for the summer, A Basin keeps charging providing thousands of party people with the best venue to darty (day-party) your ass off at...and perhaps get a few turns in well into the summer.
Get to the lot early, Get that beer nice and cool
I brought my party crew to the Beach for a day full of shenanigans that started well before the crack of dawn. Two of us had to make the ultimate sacrifice of waking up at 4:45am to reserve a spot in line at the parking lot gate to snag some beach front property. You can always call and reserve a spot ahead of time for $125 through A Basin's website but where's the fun in that?
Two Thumbs Way Up
After watching a beautiful sunrise we decided to head up to the lodge for an amazingly delicious (and surprisingly affordable) Huevos Rancheros Breakfast.
Mmmm Huevos
Now it's time to let the festivities begin. The mountain has sprung to life, the lifts are running and the parking lot is quickly filling up. We pitch our tent and set up the grill. Slowly but surely the friends arrive each wearing a more ridiculous gaper outfit than the last. The cooler has somehow managed to fill itself with PBR, beef and brats. There's nothing left to do but make some turns, hang with good friends, meet new friends and have an absolute blast.
Should I go skiing this weekend?
It is a question that haunts us too. We've created a flow chart to help you figure out what to do.
This Week’s Ski: 2012 Icelantic Gypsy
Start the year off right...by calling in sick on a powder day. Don't let those sick days pile up! Take full advantage of them and hit the slopes tomorrow! Looking at 4-8 inches here in Colorado over today and Friday. Time to pick up a pair of powder skis. I'm recommending the 2012 Icelantic Gypsy for this weekend's High Country adventures.
Now I know a lot of you are thinking why the heck would I want such a big board in only 4 to 8 inches of powder. The answer is simple. With a unique rocker profile, twin tip sandwich construction and Poplar Wood Core, the Gypsy provides one of the nimblest, most playful, poppy (poplar get it?), groomer thrashin' powder boards on the market. A nearly symmetrical sidecut 152/125/147 allows the rider to ski, land and take off switch in any condition. The Poplar wood core makes buttering off any feature a breeze while the fully reverse cambered rocker profile with a slow rise tip and tail allows the rider to smear any size turn in the pow and trees. With the slow rise rocker when you're riding on the front side you can actually connect the ski from tip to tail when you're laying down trenches on the groomers. Now let's talk about the deep stuff. The reverse camber full rocker throughout the ski is going to propel you through powder like the Federation Starship Enterprise propels Spock and Capt. Kirk through the Mutara Nebula in Stardate 2285 . Speaking of space and new frontiers... Icelantic has stumbled upon a technology created a long time ago in a galaxy far far away the details of which are being held under lock and key....I probably shouldn't have even told you that. Did I mention these beautiful skis are handmade in Denver, CO?
2012 Marker Jester Schizo
For the Ultimate riding experience I recommend tossing on a pair of 2012 Marker Jester Schizo Bindings. The Multi Stance Adjuster allows for 6cm of fore and aft travel to dial in your standing position. This allows you to change your stance for varying conditions; deep powder, crud, groomers and park/pipe. These puppies are not for the faint of heart. A DIN range of 6-16 means your skis are going no where. Lock 'em down and charge hard. Recommended for expert level riders.

Color Trend: White
In this edition of Color Trend, we'll have you outfitted in white from head to toe. Keep it classy as you blend into the snow. Perfect for bluebird skies. White is just about as fresh as it gets. You know someone who shows up to the mountain wearing all white means business.

The Powder7 Team: Jenna
Hey there!
I'm the other shop pup around here. I'm Cian's houndslice. Most people call me Jenna but I prefer J. or J. Bomb. Been coming to the shop everyday now for the past two years. I love following Cian and the other shop employees around the office all day long, getting in everyone's way, stirring up trouble, hopping in photos. If you swing by the shop I'll be the first one to greet you!
There's nothing more enthralling then escaping the office and chasing rabbits around the neighborhood. I love to hike and go on a good rafting trip but to be perfectly honest there's nothing better than romping in fresh powder. My favorite mountain is Arapahoe Basin. I love hanging out at the base there. Party at the beach!
See you on the slopes!
-Jenna
