So I blew it, uh, as usual, by not making the Wagner Skis party last Wednesday in Boulder.
Now, I try to be a polite guy…but honestly, I’m just worried I’ll never get a pair of Wagner skis. They’re hand-made outside Telluride, after a long and exhaustive interview with the customer. In short, Pete Wagner studies who you are, how you ski, and what you want…then he and his crew make your skis. By hand.
I can’t imagine the look on my girl’s face if I showed up with another pair of skis.
“But Rebel, they’re Wagners. Do you know what that means?”
Well, I’ll have to wait until at least October to start jockeying for that one. In the meantime, I’ll just urge you to visit WagnerSkis.com, check out their process, their materials…and imagine getting the goods on a ski designed just for you.
I really meant to make the party. I was going to chat, say funny things, ask all the right questions…and dammit, Pete Wagner was going to LOVE ME and then beg me to come get a set of boards down in Telluride. We were going to party with Daryl Hannah. And Billy Joel.
Is that not cool? The Billy Joel part? I don’t like Billy Joel…unless you do, Mr. Wagner. In that case, I love Billy Joel. “Sing us a song, you’re the piano man…”
Anyway, big thanks to Wagner, Larry’s Bootfitting, and Momentum PR for the invite…next time, I’ll be there!
