Bye Bye to winter 2007/2008

The end of another season! The snow gods were kind to us this season and the industry has breathed a sigh of relief!
We will be keeping in touch in these pages and look out for the new web site this summer.

Weather forecast for Tignes

Get ready for Summer skiing!

New press article added

This is an article about Windlip at the trade show "ISPO" in Munich this spring. It was published in a local magazine (Partenaires Savoie) and is in French

Test day!

Finally! We have had the time to test the "Eco rocket" number two and a new model for next year called the "GT".
Summery: "The eco rocket" is now too soft! so number three will be stiffer and we have some more ideas about that!
"The GT" is a stiffer, more piste suited board for wicked carving!
More detail will follow on the blog soon.

Trying new materials

We have been playing around with a different construction technique. This uses organic bamboo, water based glues and our usual base. there is more info in the blog here

New anti theft chips coming

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the first set of tracking chips to arrive from "Snow board tracker". The concept was originally designed for surf boards and is incredibly simple. A chip with a unique serial number will be imbedded into each board. When the board is brought the purchaser goes online to register that board to him/her. If the board is stolen in the future then you go back online and report it. Also, if your thinking of buying a second hand board in the future and it has the tracking logo you know you can go online and check that the board is being sold by the real owner. More info can be found here

NEW web page

We have a new "Press" page with articles about Windlip, see here
