Airblaster Sales Meeting at Timberline Lodge...

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

After a successful team meeting, the entire Airblaster Sales force joined us up at Timberline Lodge. Sales Support Manager, Eva Hume, welcoming everyone to the first day of meetings. All the sales reps and distributors we busy learning the new outerwear line and plans for Airblaster. We were stuck inside looking up at new snow that fell the previous night! The ladies of Airblaster Women schooled all the dudes on what women want! Be sure to check out the Airblaster Women Tumblr, to see what they're up to on a weekly basis. It's definitely worth it! The next day of the sales meeting, we woke up bright and early for a cat ride to the top of Palmer to take some laps. It was sunny and the new snow was awesome! It was a great way to start off the season! Andy Wise (AB Rockies Rep), Joe Torsey (Airblaster Production Assistant) and Jesse Grandkoski (AB Co-founder) were talking about their previous run as they waited for their next bump up to the top.  It was a beautiful day for some boarding with all our friends! Thank your Timberline and Regular Guy, Ricky Hower, for hosting us!

With every movie project there's footage that goes unseen. Respect Your Elders filmer, Kyle Schwatrz, recently let us know about all the unused footage from the movie. He thought it would be great to share all this awesome footage with you, so he put together Respect Your Elders: The Lost Footage. Each week we will release an edit that takes a look behind the scenes and at unused footage from the making of Respect Your Elders. This week join Travis Parker, Josh Dirksen, Ben Lynch, and Brandon Cocard as they shred the living daylights out of Kendall Mountain Resort in Silverton Colorado.

Timberline Getaway with the Team...

Friday, November 11, 2011

This past weekend, we took the entire team up to Timberline Lodge to shoot some photos, catch some airtime and hang out. Nick Dirks loves pizza, since it was his birthday Melissa Grandkoski made him a pizza shaped cake. Luckily it snowed and we were able to ride for a day!    Airblaster co-founder Jesse Grandkoski put together high-altitude survival kits for everyone. Nick and Brandon we were stoked on the goods and felt prepared for any situation in the outdoors. The evenings were filled with story telling, jokes and magic tricks by the fire. Travis and Jesse had a plethora of stories to tell about the early years of Airblaster.                          Jesse and Jed sat down for some doodling after dinner.  Jed showing off his artwork on the leftover pizza boxes.   Brandon, Tim, Colleen, Leanne and Nick playing a serious game of golf. It was a great time to relax and play old fashioned game in the historical Timberline Lodge!                 The final night of the meeting, the Airblaster sales force showed up. We took a family X-mas sweater photo, Jesse was trying to organize a group of 40+ people.            Nick forgot his sweater, luckily Leanne brought an extra turtleneck for him to borrow. Travis thought it was a great look for Nick!Colleen, Leanne, Airblaster designer Melissa Grandkoski and Airblaster Sales Support Manager Eva Hume looking their finest for the sweater photo. These are the ladies behind airblasterwomen.tumblr.com! Make sure to check out their blog for everything happening on the women's side of Airblaster!
