Eider Pro-form

Eider is proud to offer qualifying Maggots the chance to purchase Eider apparel at pro-form pricing. Eider will not make any profit on these sales-which means you would get a GREAT deal.

This offer is open to people who work in the industry and will bring Eider an enhanced brand presence in the North American market.

Eider is a 43 year old company based near Chamonix, France, and is known throughout Europe for manufacturing ultra high end technical clothing. It is top dollar, top quality stuff. I would put it up against any other outerwear company there is in terms of design, performance, and quality. I've worn Eider for three years and have been continually blown away by the performance of my gear.

To apply for a pro-form e-mail me(gordy100@msn.com) with a description of your qualifications. If you have a job or connection to the outdoors industry that meets our criteria I will e-mail you the pro-form(with illustrations of the pieces)and put you on our list of people whose order's we will honor. Then you can e-mail your order to Eider's USA headquarters along with your Visa/Mastercard number and we will ship you the clothing.

If you would like to check out Eider's gear go to: www.eider-world.com

I am employeed full time as a gear tester, bellweather, smartass comment provider, general vehicle maintenance advisor and moral compass for several internet ski bulletin boards. In my spare time I throw down the mad stylish park tricks that are well and truly futuristic and have yet to be duplicated, all on skis larger than your average bear.

Thank you for your consideration of my application.

I make cell phones. People use cell phones outside. In fact more people carry cell phones as rescue gear in the backcountry than avy beacons. So I think I have more of a claim to a Pro Form than say, someone working at Orthovox.

Right? :wink:

Does Salt Lake County and Summit County Search and Rescue qualify? If so then I am in. Tired of the second hand crap we usually get hooked up with.

While I don't work in the industry per se, I am devastatingly handsome. I've tried to model before, but my hotness usually eclipses the clothing I'm wearing. Ski gear's different though since it covers you up more. So send me some gear, and I'll be sure to show it off while doing lunchtime laps on the Heavenly Gondola.

All of that seems redundant based on your avatar.

I would apply, but since MT is now spancered by Eider, I would hate to feel like I pulled favors. Plus I dont want people to think MT and I are twins :D

I play on a skiing website while working in an industry, does that count?

Plus, I feel that Eider is under represented on the East Coast. Since, like Arty, I am fabulously good looking and since I've taken one of your camps am now a ridiculously good skier, I feel Eider would be a good fit for me.

i see you've got your "current product representation speech" down pat ;)

one question though, did they have to super-size the typical euro sizing for you and trackhead's old, phat asses :p

Gordy, pretty bold move on your part although I guess it is the ultimate test of how drool proof the clothing is. That kid's worse than Chevy Chase.

G - i've been out of the skiing industry for a number of years now.... does it matter that i might be getting back in on part time basis in a couple of years? (ski race coaching again) help an old KMS bro out? ;)

I'm really, really, really, really, ridiculously good looking. I also support a number of resort and ski companies at my job, so without me, they really couldn't operate their risk-management very well. I think this more than qualifies me. I also smell good.

I'm moderately good looking but add the right gear and I'm GORGEOUS! ;) Eider just might be the right gear for me. Add that to the fact that I DO teach skiing and snowboarding.....mwah hah hah!

Odd, usually I find women more gorgeous as they remove the right gear.

I've never really figured out why clothing companies are willing to give pro-form to instructors. Since we have to wear a uniform jacket when we interact with the public, no one ever gets to see us in our awesome pro-formed clothing. I guess the company is hoping that when students ask what to buy, we'll tell them about their company. (Of course students often ask about my Spyder uniform jacket, and I tell them that it's got lots of features, but isn't even remotely waterproof, so they should probably buy something else.)

Given what people say about you, I find that odd too.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen skiing walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel tram stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Etruscan refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I yo-yo Mt. Superior for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike posting, I can pilot rubber dolphins up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in rilling, a veteran in love, and was an outlaw in the Peruvian.

Using only a pole and a large bladder, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Andes from a horde of ferocious journalists. I play the electric bagpipe, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract algebra, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy ski wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I slalom, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact parenting. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but smoked it. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a mogul and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet be spancered.

I'm French. They're French. And I ski in the outdoors :p.

I like the idea of the smartass thread and the serious emails. Let's see what good comes out of that (and uh, do we want to know if White Chocolate f.....? Probably not :p).
