a year to date

My mentor said "equal parts marketing and making" well I am off and running making but, well lacking in the marketing department. I don't do resolutions but I promise to send updates etc from here on out. Since it has been a year since loging on my wife and I have had a fun time re-uping my username and password. That aside:

Check out my new pics, friends, and excursions. Last Saturday Sarah and I went on her maiden voyage. We borrowed Steve's ski and went to the Flagstaff Nordic Center. The weather was beautiful and the snow was fluffy. Sarah had a great time staying down low in the flats while she got her snow legs. She wasn't much for the down hill slide but bomber climbing! Go Sarah.

This weekend I hope to do a final fitting with Darol in Phoenix before powder coat. Diane has taken her ski to Ski For Light.

Next Sitski almost done.

So here we go just finishing up another sitski and the forcast is new snow! My new friend Rebecca is planning a trip up from Phoenix in the next couple weeks for her maiden nordic voyage.
This latest version of the sitski is super simple; Lots of really cool bends and few miters. The plan is to hit the nordic center this weekend with friends. I should have the soft goods together very soon. Pics to follow!

Nordic Sitski in production

Hey all, Doug Hall here. I am fabricating the Nordic Sitski here in
Flagstaff, Arizona. If you're looking for the dude Steve Garro said is building a nordic sitski, I am that guy.

I live the phliosophy of human-powered outdoor sports. With Steve Garro as my consultant (T11, 12) I build adaptive Cross Country Skis. These will be entirely custom orders and are designed for the disabled community of cross country or nordic skiiers. Read my profile if you want more information about my background with metalcraft.... right here, I want to talk about these skiis I am building. The prototype ski (below) is super strong , all seamless aircraft 4130 steel, some down to .028" thickness.

If you are at all interested in ordering an adaptive sitski contact me at mtnsitski@npgcable.com. Hurry, I currently am working on 3 so you would have approximately a 4 week wait on an order at this point in time.
