Winter Triathlon World Championships Report
By: Peter Abraham
US Medals with Dussault 3rd
This was my second trip to Europe to wax skis for the US Winter Triathlon Team at the World Championships. Last year the championships were staged in southern Germany, in a town that sees little snow and race temperatures in the mid fifties. In true European fashion the race organizers miraculously pulled off the race, but needless to say, the skiing was less than optimal. So, as a Nordic skier, I was excited to see that the races this year were being held in Gaishorn, Austria, where there was confirmed snow on the ground and temperatures below freezing.

Carbonlites and Demo Fleets on Sale!
 
Get great Deals on Fischer Carbonlites & Salomon Demos
Hand-selected Fischer Carbonlite Skate & Classic $100 off!
 
The Fischer Carbonlite skate ski has been a superb ski, especially on harder track conditions.  We overbought a bit this year as we've been steering most people toward RCS as their primary race skis.  The skis remain the same with only a cosmetic change for next season.  The 115 mold has a higher camber and shorter pressure zones and has been used effectively on the World Cup, which often has very hard tracks.  In fact, Kikkan Randall just won her Silver medal on a 115 Carbonlite at World Championships. 
 
The Carbonlite classic is also a super race ski with a supple feel and liveliness not found anywhere else.  The lightweight tip and tail are very noticeable on classic skis since the ski is moving around so much.
 
So, if you want a ski that tends toward universal/hard conditions, now is the time to grab one.  We have 50 hand-selected skate Carbonlites left and 25 classics, so we have a good selection of flexes.  Get yours today!
 
We just received a demo fleet of Salomon S-Lab Boots and Equipe 10 skis that will be posted on the web Thursday.  Get a great deal on these gently used demos that are in super shape!  Also coming soon is our Rossignol demo fleet and Fischer test fleet. 
 
Hairies skis dominate World Championships
The weather here in Liberec has been unbelievably consistent with temps right around 0 degrees C and constant snow and light rain.  Hairies skis have dominated here, showing how important they can be in the correct conditions.  In the men's 15km Classic the top 7 were on hairies and many favorites were out of the race due to their wax.

We have a handful of Zero skis left and the batch we picked has been running very well for people.  Call to see if we have a good flex for you.
