Effective as of January 1, 2011, Movement will be distributed in Winter 2011/2012 through La Sportiva N.A., a recognized industry leader in high performance mountain products.
“As the traditions of mountain adventure and environmental stewardship run deep in the Rockies, Colorado is the perfect place for Movement Skis to call home,†said Jonathan Degenhardt, Movement Skis Brand Manager. Degenhardt and Eric Rutishauser, Sales Manager, head the Movement management team in Boulder.
Founded in 2002, the Swiss-designed ski collection is known worldwide for high performance designs, innovative construction technologies, and a leadership role in environmentally sustainable material use.
Movement has earned a worldwide reputation for distinctive and dynamic skis, thanks to proprietary Control Torsion System (CTS) ski construction technology, which blends torsional stiffness with round longitudinal flex to maximize performance and enjoyment in every snow condition.
Movement is also a recognized leader in sustainable and toxin-free core construction. Their pure wood cores are harvested exclusively from FSC/PEFC-certified forestry operations, and are manufactured using a process that avoids adhesive toxins, which are common in composite or synthetic alternatives.
