 Bluehouse is in the final stage of releasing the 08-09 fleet.  The only question that remains is: how much or how little will they cost?  Bluehouse has decided to get some community feedback regarding the decision.  If you’d like to hear what other people are saying, check out this forum at Teton Gravity Research:  http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131172

Second, Bluehouse is excited for the rapidly approaching 2009 season. We’re happy to announce that we’ve scored on a partnership with Dynastar/LOOK bindings to ensure that our customers will lock in to their new BH skis with the burliest ski bindings available.  Starting at 12:00am, Friday September 19, Bluehouse will be offering huge sales on select binding models packaged with new models of Bluehouse boards.

LOOK PX Racing 18 FS XXL is the fattest, gnarliest, and most aggressive binding in the freeride world of big mountain skiing.  With a DIN range of 10-18, this binding won’t leave you digging for your ski on that 36″ storm day.  The wide brake 120mm is also the only brake fat enough to mount to the Shoots or the Maven without some serious bending or cutting.

Dynastar PX 12 Jib Wide Trouble is the best all around jib binder around.  DIN range 3.5-12 and a brake width of 100mm, these bindings will lock you into the MR and provide you the confidence you need to not hold back.  Also a great choice for the District if weight is a concern.

LOOK PX racing 15 DIN 8-15 with a brake at 100mm is for the rider in between who doesn’t demand the 18 DIN but wants to lock it down a little harder for the big-mountain lines.

Prices for all 08-09 products and pacakages will be released shortly.  Thanks for considering Bluehouse Skis to be your stick of choice this winter.

Bluehouse went through a plethora of prototypes and even multiple names to dial this ski in. But thanks to candid feedback and emergency IM brainstorming, we came up with The Maven, the second of two new fat skis for the 08/09 season.

Many believe the future of skiing belongs to the multi-talented. The problem with that is finding one ski that supports this attitude. Enter: The Maven. This ski was designed for multi-purpose fun. With its belt-busting wiast–139mm–and its rockered tip and tail–zero camber–you’ll have no problem floating in the deep and switching any landing. Simply put, no feature is too big, too bent, too abysmal anymore. The Mavens were designed to hit that…and by “that” I mean whatever will make your crew get loud.

This is not just another super-fat rocker. The Maven offers a longer running length than other skis in its class–making it more skiable between powder fields or between park features. The flex is playful, but not noodly. Once again, making this ski unique in its class with a slightly stiffer flex than others. We believe it truly is the Maven of skis for the Mavens of skiing. Enjoy the Maven, new for 08/09.

Maven Specs
189, t-w-t = 154-139-151, radius = 22.9m, running Length = 1120mm, weight = 5.2kg/pair

The Maven and all other 2008 Bluehouse skis go on sale for ridiculous, pre-season pricing on Sept. 18.

Bluehouse spent countless hours throughout the past season talking to the ski community. We can accredit the creation of our two new skis to the people who spoke up (a special shout out to the TGR and NS crews). The Shoots is the first of two new skis to be added to the Bluehouse fleet.

Fair warning: The Shoots is not for the novice skier. Some of the words used by testers to describe The Shoots’ personality were “charging,” “made for speed,” “weapons,” “killer-blaster” (a BH favorite), and “for serious screaming.” The Shoots brags the stiffest flex of all the BH fleet. The profile was designed to deliver comfort at top speeds. The rockered tips will keep your skis afloat any snow type and the nearly-flat tail will direct you where you want to go: downhill. In other words, The Shoots were bred for straightlining. Bluehouse felt it appropriate to name the ski after the bamboo plant’s growing pattern, but also likes the subtle reminder to its owner that this ski belongs in the chutes and similar terrain. The graphics were created by Simen Stori during the design contest last season. The art fit perfectly with Bluehouse’s plans for the ski. Enjoy The Shoots.

The Shoots Specs
191, t-w-t = 149-128-133, radius = 42.0m, running length = 1410mm

The Shoots and all other 2008 Bluehouse skis go on sale for ridiculous, pre-season pricing on Sept. 18., weight = 5.8kg/pair

The 2008 Bluehouse District is tougher and more versatile. It also comes in two lengths: 187 and 176. We had an overwhelming request last season to stiffen the District, and that’s what we’ve done. We promise less chatter on hard pack, more stability at top speeds, and less back-seat riding on the stomp. The red light from last year’s District was the most talked about part of the graphic. It’s the main graphic feature for this season. Just like the MR, the District has rounded top edges and a tougher top layer to cut down on chipping. Enjoy.

District Specs
187, t-w-t = 134-103-122, radius = 27.5m, running length = 1660mm
176, t-w-t = 134-108-122, radius = 27.1m, running length = 1470mm

The Districts and all other 2008 Bluehouse skis go on sale for ridiculous, pre-season pricing on Sept. 18.

The most maneuverable and lightweight park ski from Bluehouse is back and it comes in three lengths for 2008: 179, 171, and the new 164. The 2008 MR has been enhanced from its original design with stiffer flex in the tail for more comfortable stomping. The new MR has a rounded top edge and more durable top layer to reduce chipping. This year’s design will definitely get you noticed as you show your steeze in the pipe, on the rails, and off the booters. Enjoy.

MR Specs
179, t-w-t = 125-93-120
171, t-w-t = 125-93-120
164, t-w-t = 125-92-120

The MRs and all other 2008 Bluehouse skis go on sale for ridiculous, pre-season pricing on Sept. 18.

Bluehouse fans, it’s that time of year again. We’re getting everything lined up here at Bluehouse for a couple major events coming very quickly. More details will be revealed in posts and emails that will shortly follow this one, but one thing we won’t keep a secret is the date: September 18, 2008.

9/18/08 will be a huge day for Bluehouse and anybody who loves a killer deal. Just like last year, we promise to bring you some of the sickest skis produced for the best prices possible, but only for a limited time and with a limited quantity.

Check in over the next few days for information on BH’s new skis, images of the ‘08 lineup, prices, and a party you won’t want to miss. Oh, and that one friend who is always bragging about knowing “the latest” would probably appreciate hearing about this from you. Spread the love by forwarding this link or friending Bluehouse Skis on Facebook. We’ll also share every detail about the upcoming sale with our email list, so sign up for that too.

Get ready, people. Fall approaches. Shortly thereafter, winter. With that, snow…and another amazing year with Bluehouse Skis.

Salt Lake City, UT – Bluehouse Ski Co. is here to stay—at least for another ski season. The Bluehouse team is gearing up for a second year of ski production, community involvement, and brand advancement. The independent ski company started as a college dream for founders Jared Richards and Adam Hepworth. It remained a dream for several years until March of 2007 when the LLC was formed. First-year accomplishments include a successful pre-season sale last September, well-attended events/competitions on and off the hill, a fully checked goals sheet for sales and customer attainment, and hundreds of positive reviews on products and customer service.

“We were really excited about our pre-season sales and the way the brand spread among skiers. We knew relatively early that we could start thinking about the 08-09 season. When we started this thing, we had no idea if that would happen,” said co-founder Jared Richards.

The early start on thinking has paid off for Bluehouse. They have big plans in development, including two new ski models and more lengths in previous models. Bluehouse also plans on putting its customers first by creating a Web site that encourages user interaction and feedback. And it will continue its tradition of unique promotional offers for the involved skier.

“Whatever we do, we think about the skier,” comments Hepworth, “all of our energy goes toward two objectives: skis our skiers want and prices our skiers can afford. That’s tough at times, but we rely on our independence and creativity to pull it off.”

Co-founders Jared Richards and Adam Hepworth and two other partners, Dan Nebeker and Shane Larsen, manage Bluehouse Ski Co. Jared, Adam, Dan, and Shane are skiers and were born in Utah.
