One Way, an ambitious Finnish brand, that quickly carved its niche in xcskiing market in the last decade but collapsed under the weight of its debts, is being reborn!

Take A Look Inside Peltonen, World’s Most Modern Ski Factory

Take A Look Inside Peltonen, World’s Most Modern Ski Factory

Gear News, Newsfeed
...It's almost impossible to believe that barely two months ago this part of the country felt as cold as the Finnish cold could ever be while hosting one of the most prestigious skiing competitions in the world: the Lahti Ski Games. Today the Lahti region ( officically Päijänne Tavastia – and good luck pronouncing that correctly) is living through a scorching hot spring day and, judging by attire ( almost universal shorts for men, light dresses for women) the last thing on people's mind is winter sports. We are here, however, because of skiing ( and rollerskiing – more of which in a separate story) Because today we visit what is branded as the “world's most modern ski-producing factory”. Or, perhaps, the biggest of the smaller ski makers. ...The world…

RIP One Way

One Way as we know it is no more. An ambitious Finnish company, best known for its world-class ski poles,  used at different point in time by such greats as Martin Fourcade ,  Charlotte Kalla, Dario Cologna, Alexei Poltoranin, Ragnhild Haga to name but a few, have succumbed to the pressure of its debts and went bankrupt. Things looked very promising for One Way Sports Oy as recently as 2014,  when their net sales topped 12 million Euros and they've signed a very promising deal with the Chinese ski association. https://www.instagram.com/p/BcUl1lvgeCn/?taken-by=kalla_87 But a combination of several snowless winters in continental Europe and a sharp fall of the value of rouble ( with Russia being OW's most important market) doomed the Finnish company. At the end of March this year Vantaa District…

At the Daily Skier we happened to believe that the best way of promoting skiing – is getting more people to watch it. In that spirit the visit to the inaugural Galtür Nordic Night Race was organized. And here are the impressions https://www.instagram.com/p/BhMCRxyh47u/ [caption id="attachment_7406" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Skiing through town? Doable![/caption]   If you do it – do it right. Paznaun valley where Galtür is located, is one fancy place, seeing steady influx of well-heeled downhill skiers throughout the winter season. ( " We don't need to advertize or share profits with online booking systems – we are more than 85% full most of the time" opens up a proprietor of one of the Galtür hotels). How is it relevant to cross country skiing? Well, directly – to bring/lay the…
