We visited the Madshus Factory outside of Lillehammer, Norway today and will be picking skis with Per Wik, World Cup Race Director Friday.  Check out a few pics below.

Very Last Chance for Madshus Hand-Selected Skis
Send in ski requests by the end of Thursday!
 
Zach and Nathan spent Thursday at the Madshus Factory in Biri, Norway talking with Per Wik, Racing Director, and Gunnar Bjaertnes, Head of Development.  The tour of the factory was very impressive and we gained a huge amount of insight into the skis, the company, and the history of ski development.  We've done this at Atomic and Holmenkol as well on this trip, and we will write some in-depth articles shortly after we have time to catch up.
 
We will be picking skis with Per at the Factory Friday, and if you want to have us pick a pair especially for you, fill out our ski request form by 11PM mountain time Thursday.  We will be picking Nanosonic only, cost is $725.
 
 

Grind Water

Gunnar talks about the grind system with Zach and Per looking on.
Gunnar invented the NIS system, among many other things.  He is an amazing encyclopedia of ski knowledge.  Per has been race director at Madshus for 11 years and knows a little bit about skis, too.
