Nice to see this guy back in the driver's seat.

I've signed with Blizzard with whom I'll be designing a Big Mountain ski for myself for this season which may or may not go into production by next season. I'm really stoked because I'v never had a sponsor who has given me input which was part of my reason for splitting with Rossignol. We've agreed on a 3 year deal so there's really going to be some time here to cultivate the realtionship and help bring Blizzard to the forefront as a top manufacturer in the Freeride and All Mountain catagories.

I've also signed on with Dalbello boots which I couldn't be more exicited about because I'll be in their Krypton boot which is the evolution of the Raichle Flexon which I skied in for most of my life. I can't wait to get back into this boot which is really suited to my style. I'm also with Dalbello on a 3 year program.

In addition, I switched eyewear sponsors to Zeal Optics where I will have a signature google which should be fun designing. I'm psyched to wear the goggles, especially for the polarized lenses which are part of their line.

Been training hard lately in the gym and did alot of mountain biking all
summer and I'm excited for the upcoming season. Everything is healed up
and ready to go. Best Wishes to everyone.

Kent

^Yeah, Kent who?

**Professor** · 08-25-2005, 11:03 AM

My guess is Krietler.... Hopefully we will see some production skis out of this combo that finally are longer than a 195 :-)

Who's Kent Kreitler? Does he work at Taco Bell?

I'm hoping for a 178ish, somewhat soft, 90ish waist, mega sidecut type ski

Professor, you might want to see if your sarcasm meter is malfunctioning.

**Professor** · 08-25-2005, 12:01 PM

There was no sarcasm there. There should have been this

I am sick of the only long skis out there being less than 100mm under foot.

I was talking with Kent before he left Rossi and signed on with his new spancers. He wanted a sig ski that was long and twinned, so I'd expect a 197 twintip as a result of his new deal. And it will likely sell. Good for him.

Dude, I meant Laps sarcasm. I think he knows who Kent Krietler is.

**lemon boy** · 08-25-2005, 12:42 PM

you'll have to forgive him, not only is he out of practice

but he wasn't ever very good at it to begin with.

Unfortunately LB is right on both counts.... for once

**Laps** · 08-25-2005, 01:04 PM

Uh, earth to Meekus...

I have met this Kent guy, but still sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Come on, you know you want to...

Sickness awaits.

So all of you that "know" Kent, will you see if you can get me a pair of his XXXXs. I dont know him, never met him, but for some reason he doesnt like it when I stalk him
