As of 12-9-10 we have a remaining 55 units of the following models (we started with a LOT more):
Icelantic NOMAD (09/10 Closeouts)
Icelantic is like the cool kid of the ski industry; they’re steezy (stylish), cutting edge, in vogue, very 2011…the word “hipster” has taken on something of a negative connotation recently, but it describes them perfectly (…without the incredible narcissism, unpractical footwear and bad haircuts). The company, their product and the people who run it are clearly a cut above the rest, the cream of the crop, the bee’s knee’s… and they know it.
Then there’s the Wildy…we’re like that awkward, vaguely smelly trailer-park-kid who gets into all kinds of mischief, but still gets really good grades and will likely be on the cover of Forbes someday. We are simultaneously scorned and envied by the rest of the industry for our rugged competence and tendency to somehow make it out ahead.
So how was this beautiful relationship forged? A few hypotheses have come up:
Are we just that cool? – No.
Were we the only ones willing to take on such huge volume of closeout skis? – No.
Did Icelantic need to liquidate ASAP in order to pay pressing gambling debts? – Unlikely.
Did our fearless leader employ everything he knows about alchemy, quantum physics, string theory and psychology to manifest this into reality? – mmmmm… not likely, those things are for people who have too much time to think. Our fearless leader is a busy man.
Did our fearless leader take the owner of Icelantic out for a nice business lunch at Sushi Sasa to grease the wheels by picking up a tab larger than the projected proceeds of this Icelantic deal?....Maybe.
Anyhow, these deals have been flying out the door and all over the country. So get in on it soon or be prepared to be very disappointed in your self.
Happy Holidays,
SB
