Pure Demo Days - Results Are In
Written by Dan Morgan, Saturday, 09 April 2005It seemed as quickly as it started, our first ‘Pure Demo Day’ was over and our team was left to contemplate the new skis we saw, skied and handed over to the public—and of course the prospect of next year’s event.
Weather wise, in the ease-of-putting-on-an-event-like-this sense, we could not have timed it better - a glorious day with little wind which was a stark contrast to the clouds, rain and eventual snow which came the next day. This was to our content of course, despite the fact that this meant we could not further the event for an extra day, as planned by the end of the first.
After the Open Gliss had gotten underway for its second day, a steady stream of expectant skiers came and went, and all with mainly positive comments of the new breeds they had tested. Others were purely ecstatic and it was truly inspiring to see the obvious fun that was had higher up the slopes.
So, huge thanks are in order to those who supplied us with skis. An obvious statement to make, but the event truly could not have happened without them.
Thanks are also due in scores to Romain from Les Arcs Club Des Sports, Brice from Bluwax, Ray from Sound Skis & last but not least DJ Murray for helping to make the day a memorable & successful event.
Enjoy the pictures (more as they arrive) and the subsequent reviews.
