I hope you are doing well during these challenging ecomomic times.
It is reassuring to know that we have had great snow and cold weather
throughout most of the country so far this year.
A saying I adopted years ago is really ringing true this year,
"Innovation drives new business.". At GOODE we are working hard to
drive new business for you.
Everyone here in Utah has been enjoying winter!
It is hard to believe that it is time for the annual SIA Las Vegas
Trade Show! I'd like to personally invite you to stop by our booth to
see our NEW product offerings!
I look forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for choosing GOODE!
LAS VEGAS, NV - GOODE will be exhibiting all of its new
products in Booth R-73 at the '09 SIA Show in Las Vegas. This is
GOODE's 35th year attending the Las Vegas Ski Show. As you must
know, the SIA Show will be moving to Denver, CO in 2010.
"It is hard to believe that this will be the last year in Las
Vegas", said Dave Goode. "I first exhibited there in 1975, when I
was 19 years old. While the official name has always been the SIA
Show, most everyone has just been calling it "Vegas", Goode
continues. "It will be the final curtain call for Vegas as we move
on to Denver in 2010.", Goode concludes.
COMMENT FROM BRIAN SMITH ON GOODE SKIS
An email just arrived from Brian Smith following his triumphant
performance in the COSMIC Series Randonee Race in Colorado. This
is what he writes:
Hey Dave, I was meaning to get an e-mail out before now but I
have been busy at work.
I wanted to tell you that the GOODE skis are the best randonee
skis I have skied so far. They ski like a big board not an 875 gm
race ski. They are predictable and solid from tip to tail. I have
never gone as fast as I did on a 160 ski before!
As for the race: I had my binding ice up on the start. I lost
about 5 minutes to the leaders (Bryan Wickenhauser for 75% of the
race) before I got the ice cleared and the pack was out of sight.
I just about waited till the leaders came in for lap two to have
people to race with. I got really mad and just went as hard as I
could. After two climbs and some crazy fast descending I got
within a minute of Bryan with about 30 minutes left in the race. I
took over the lead at the start of the boot pack and never looked
back. I won by 1 minute 40 seconds! My first randonee win to date!
All in all, I was blown away by the big ski performance of such
a light ski. Very snappy and stable at high speeds. Being an
alpine ski racer growing up I can appreciate a good stiff ski. You
have really helped to bring my randonee racing to a new level.
Thanks, Dave!
