2012 Mount Hood Blog

While we don't head out to Mt. Hood until Thursday June 7th the preparations are already in full swing. Here at the shop we are busy compiling all of the essential data on the athletes who will be training on the Palmer snowfield while we are at Timberline. To be the most efficient we try to have recorded for each athlete the following information: current ski model/length, boot model/size and bindings/DIN setting, athlete height, weight, age and race program affiliation. We also check their racing profile as it relates to FIS points, USSA National points, performance at the Junior Championships held in the spring at Mammoth Mountain, Vail, Steamboat and Marquette Mountain as well as the Minnesota State High School Meet at Biwabik.

As one season ends at Pierce another one begins, in essence it's Endless Winter here at Pierce.  The entire crew is back from our epic trip to Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming and the ski testing results are in on next year's all-mountain/all-condition and big-mountain/back country skis.  Stop in to find out what tested well and consider taking advantage of our remaining stock of 2011-12 skis that are on clearance through April 30th (the end of our fiscal year).  For our athletes who are heading to Mt. Hood for summer ski camps in June, July & August now is the time to bring your boots in for a pre-camp fit check.  Boots are not available for testing on a consistent basis at Govy and it is best to make sure you are dialed in prior to camp so that you are training on the boots you will be racing on next season. It is also important to note that when testing skis at camp, you want to keep one variable (your boots) as a constant therefore providing you the most accurate assessment for skis.  Bring your skis in as well so that Eric can get them prepared for the specific training conditions on the Palmer snowfield.  Consider contacting Eric directly here at the shop in the event you would like to arrange for a pre-camp tuning seminar here at the shop.

With the early spring we are a minimum of 3 weeks ahead of schedule on the in-line skating season.  We already have been out skating the Greenway, City Lakes and at Cleary Park in Prior Lake and the pathways are clear sailing.  We are fully stocked with Bont, K2 and Rollerblade in-line skates & accessories. For our year around figure skaters we are fully stocked with Riedell, Jackson, SP-Teri skating boots and blades as well as all of the necessary accessories and clothing for spring ice shows and summer lessons.  Of particular note is the new addition of ChloeNoel a well constructed and surprisingly afforadable line of figure skate clothing. 

Come in a deal with our award winning staff whose goal is "To provide our customers with the finest in equipment, clothing & service through our own active participation in and passion for the sports that we sell"

Come discover the Pierce difference!

We hope to see you in the shop.
