Meet Man Behind Success Of Summer Skiing Fests In Norway

Man behind the scenes. Meet Morten Iversbakken, co-founder, manager & driving force behind the rapid rise of @idtsports. Star-studded rollerski races Norway is known for ( and the appeal is growing with each year) won't be possible without dedicated sponsorship(s) by the company both willing and able to provide world-class equipment to world-class stars of skiing. Hand delivered (literally as you can see on this photo) to each & every destination e.g. Hamar's Kirkebakken Grand Prix yesterday, Oslo Skifest today. Is he alone? By no means. There are other dedicated men, women and their outfits in rollerskiing, yet we think this case special: IDT is a large company and was doing well before it went into skiing. Morten is a well-off young man with a growing family. He could have…

Thus Trained Bolshunov This Morning…

Leaders, Newsfeed

Here's this morning's training regimen of the world's leading distance skier: - 1h15m road bike - 1:15 classic rollerskis on dedicated rollerski track i.e. with uphills/downhillls - 1:15 skating rollerskis on the same track - 1:15 trail running, medium to hard terrain For the total of 5 hours. No pauses between sessions , maximum fast equipment swap. All in 1-2 pulse zone ( but to a casual observer it honestly looks like a competition tempo, especially on classic rolllerskis). There is obviously a second training session of the day after lunch and, possibly, a warm-down job in the evening. To be clear, the rest of Yuri Borodavko' s training group did exactly same - we single out Bolshunov for obvious reasons that he's the most successful in the group in…

Inside Rossignol Headquarters And Secretive Workshop

Gear News, Newsfeed

All top skis are the same? Yes and No. Yes - because all top manufacturers tend to use similar "construction elements" - most, for instance, source material for ski bases from just two producers. No, because "big variable" are the people who make them skis. With all the mental, cultural differences you'd expect - plus business strategies vary greatly. We did our best to tell you how Fischer , Madshus , Peltonen are made - and who are the people making them. This week The Dailyskier traveled to Saint Jean de Moirans near Grenoble, France, to visit Rossignol [caption id="attachment_11666" align="alignnone" width="1920"] When it comes to location, Rossignol beats all competitors flat out. That view of French Alps from the office window...don't we all wish to have something like that?[/caption] [caption…
