Well, it’s been a while since the last blog. If you’re in North America, there really hasn’t been much of a winter to speak of… so far. It’s coming though. Europe’s recent heavy snowfalls only suggest that it’s on it’s way, albeit a little later than sooner.

For most of us its been more of a practice of getting on hill to simply keep your legs and body strong for when it does arrive. For us techs, fortunately the contest tours stop for no one, not even “Old Man Winter”! This means that contest equipment is constantly worked on, to ensure that it ready for optimal performance when called upon. Since the first US Chevy Grand Prix and Mountain Dew Tour stops, Mono Cera has been putting in countless hours attending to numerous skis and snowboards. Beginning with base grinds for proper structure, setting edges and relentless waxing, gear is brought up to a working condition that will hopefully provide these athletes with the highest level of success.

As I write this I’m waiting to board a flight for the East Coast and the next stop on the Mt. Dew Tour at Killington, VT. You want to know something crazy, it’s starting to snow out east-! Right on schedule. We’ll try to keep you posted.
