In addition, lifetime servicing, discounts on repairs and more will be offered in conjunction with evo.
Eric continues,“My goal is to create a concise offering of versatile shapes that transcend categories.
I believe this translates to better quality, and an easier choice for our customers.
How did it come about?
JOSH:Not jointly at first but hes good at convincing me to do irrational things.
How did Austin Smith get involved?
Is there anyone else on the team we should know about?
JOSH: The goal was always to produce snowboards and skis.
As Austin says, One plank, two planks, its up to you.
If you find a three plank option thats cool too.
We also have Andy Hytjan on board whos been developing award-winning skis for over a decade.
The Forma, well give it a try but those work really well in powder forwards.
There is still asignificant height to the tails and no changes to the sidecut because of that squared-off tail.
Where are the skis being made?
ANDY:Skis are made in Austria, at Amer.
Snowboards are in Dubai at SWS.
Both are world-class manufacturing partners that let us achieve the best final products.
Its a great combination.
How are you planning to keep things fresh while maintaining the same models?
Demos will be available in all evo locations.
