Sponsorship deal with Mountain Spirit
I have just signed a deal with Aviemore based shop Mountain Spirit. Mountain Spirit is run by Rob and Angela Edmonds passionate skiers who stock the best in ski touring and back country ski kit. I will be testing some product for them and using G3 skis who they import from Canada, I will also be contributing to their Blog and doing some talks in the shop.
When in the shop earlier this week I picked up a pair of prototype G3 spitfire LT skis with one of the first samples of Gs's new Onyx binding. I have been skiing on the standard Spitfire for the last couple of month's and have been really impressed, the ski has coped really well with all the conditions I have skied from deep powder to hard pack and isn't to heavy for going uphill. The new LT has the same dimensions as the standard Spitfire but uses a lighter weight wood core to shave those extra pounds, the skis have been mounted with one of the first versions of the Onyx binding to arrive in Europe. The Onyx is designed to be a more user friendly version of the Tech binding system so I'll let you know how I get on.
