News: Salomon Skis win big!

Do you wanna feel like a pro, even if you're a weekend warrior? The very same Salomon Equipe 10 race skis that we stock have been burning up the World Cup and World Championship courses this season. There's still plenty of ski season left so if you want to feel what it's like to use world championship equipment, even if it's on the local trails, come visit us today.

Here's a quick glimpes of the victories amassed on Salomon skis, boots, and/or bindings this racing season:

6 World Cup Victories!

Jason Chapuis (FRA) - Nordic Combined (4 WC Wins)
Anna-Carin Zidek (SWE - Biathlon (1 WC Win)
Alexis Boeuf (FRA) - Biathlon (1 WC Win)

Under-23 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Title!

Canada's own ALEX HARVEY (boots/bindings) is now WORLD CHAMPION for the 10km + 10km Pursuit event!

Canada sent 11 athletes to World Juniors in Estonia - 3 out of the 9 (33%) selected were Salomon ski/boot/binding athletes.

4 of 11 (36%) Canadian team members at the 2011 World Championships in Olso were Salomon ski/boot/binding athletes! 7 of 11 athletes are boot/binding athletes

Also worth noting, at the Mont Orford Loppet Salomon equipped athletes took the podium 1 - 2 - 3!
