Ultimate Quiver stickers, designed by Kirk Turner of Bellingham, WA.
During a factory tour this summer, a friend at G3 showed us “Editor’s Choice” stickers from various magazines. The mags send them the image, they print the stickers and put them on the winning skis before they’re shipped to retailers. It’s fascinating how much exposure the magazines get out of this, as well as how often the “Editor’s Choice” marquee is used for an advertising theme. Well, might as well get in on the deal ourselves!
(We’re late to the party, so who knows how many of our stickers will actually get used, but we’ve got the process figured out and we’ll get on it sooner next year — since we ARE doing another Ultimate Quiver.)
Below is a list of the WildSnow’s 2012/2013 Ultimate Quiver. Of course, most of the skis that caught our fancy have superior performance to weight ratios, making them excellent for human powered backcountry skiing. For the details, read our main backcountry skiing Ultimate Quiver post.
And yes, we provide as many shopping links as we can find. Thanks for doing any shopping you feel like (which helps support our work here)!
