Demong climbs to 2nd in Overall World Cup
American Billy Demong finished 4th in a World Cup race yesterday in Klingenthal, Germany.  Demong has been on a rampage this season and is now 2nd place in the overall World Cup standings behind legendary competitor Ronny Ackermann of Germany.  Third place is a frenchman almost a hundred points behind.  These are easily the best results that the US has ever had in Nordic Combined.  Go Billy!
Although we sponsored him for many years and are a US Ski Team supplier, Toko has no direct affiliation with Demong.  We are just friends and fans.
USSA Launches Friends of Cross Country
 
The USSA asked us to send this on.  Being USST pool suppliers and wishing the USST well, we complied despite the fact that this fundraiser promotes a competing brand.
 
Both to commemorate the exciting results from our Nordic athletes so far this season, and in anticipation of the races next week and the pre-World Championships in Liberec in February, we're offering a program called Friends of Cross Country, which is already giving a wide range of U.S. Ski Team alumni, supporters, fans and recreational skier a way to be involved with the team, and to help to capture the momentum the athletes have as they race toward Vancouver in 2010, Sochin in 2014, and beyond.

Enthusiasts nationwide are now able to show their support of the Team as a Friend of Cross Country by giving a gift as low as $50. The Norwegian Ski Federation as operated an identical program for a number of years, and they sell 8,000 hats annually. Skiers of all ages and abilities in Norway show their support for their team by wearing their "Langrennsportens Venner" hats from the current year, and from years gone by. We've started to challenge Norway on the ski trails - surpassing them in nationwide community support is a key area to sustaining that challenge.

T8 Iron

T8 Iron 2


 

T8 Iron 3

Finally an iron that is affordable, but also of very high quality.  The T8 wax iron gets hot enough to easily melt blue glide waxes and fluorocarbons.  It has a thick base plate and a nice easy to use form.  The iron has a structured base plate which protects your base from overheating due to suction.  The T8 also has neat features such as an extra long cord with a swivel on it and a thermostat light which shows you when it is working.  The best thing about this iron is that it works great and costs just $74!
