A trip to the Dynastar Factory Chamonix

While yesterday was a rest I still made the best of it, and took the oppurunity to make a run back to Chamonix to the Dynastar factory to  replace a pair of my XXLs I  cracked the edge in the Nendaz Comp a few days before. Thinking to myself, when would be the next time I could just swing over to the factory a few valleys away and make a quick exchange? And  after talking with some of the fellow French Dynastar athletes in Nendaz, and sending a few emails to the French team manager, I was set. I could meet up at the factory and make the swap, and maybe as I hoped, get a little tour of the factory.  The coolest part of the factory is Mount Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe, looming on the sky line forming.  In the factory, check out Dynastar wall of fame ski collection, seeing the first pair of skis Dynastar ever made to the skis past Dynastar World Cup athletes have used to win  Olympic medals  and World Cup Globes. Very cool.
