so that they have the best new gear for
their particular style of skiing.
King Keyser offers many products and
services for children as well, including the
Trolls Ski Club and the Kids Boot Club.
Trolls Ski Club was established in 1963 to
promote the sport of skiing to children.
Entering its 39th season,Trolls provides a
great learning opportunity for children of
all levels of skiing, snowboarding experience, between the ages 9-15.The Kids
Boot Club answers one of the age old
dilemmas about outfitting children with
any item of clothing or equipment: What
to do about growing feet? When the customer purchases a set of skis for their children, King Keyser can rent the boots to
the customer. This will keep customers
from having to purchase new boots every
time their child's foot grows.
The staff of King Keyser tries to provide valuable community service and
are involved in many community activities. One such service that they provide
for the community is the grooming of
the cross country ski trails at Katherine
Legge Park in Hinsdale.

Whether you're looking for a pair of skis for the skate
park or the newest styles for winter '04, King-Keyser
has everything you need for a great season.
Armada
Dynastar
K2
Created by and for a new breed of
riders who demand a ski versatile
enough to ride rails and float over
big powder, Armada is what skiing
will become. Their '03–'04 line features two skis. The AR5 is the ski
you want for park, pipe, and urban
assault. It's also wide and stable
enough for all-mountain riding.
Armada's ARV line is for backcountry dominators. Built wide for maximum surface area, these skis are
primed for powder landings, yet
still retain the agility necessary to
take on the whole mountain.
With their new Trouble Maker twin-tip
ski, Dynastar has shown that they are
serious about the new school/freeskiing
market.Designed by the company's pro
team,this ski is a versatile all-mountain,
park and pipe weapon.The technology
found in the Trouble Maker is what gives
this ski its pop. It's also what has other
manufacturers scrambling to catch up.
Fate
Nixon
Fate Clothing brings function, style,
and a healthy dose of attitude to
your wardrobe. This fast-growing,
independent company has turned
a lot of heads thanks to the innovation and quality that goes into
everything they manufacture. KingKeyser is proud to offer a great
selection of Fate's versatile, unique
jackets, pants, and loungewear for
progressive skiers.
This company knows what time it is.
Nixon's watches reflect the styles,needs,
and eccentricities of their team.Who's
on their team? How about Jeremy Jones,
Erik Leines, JP Walker, Todd Richards,
Kareem Campbell,Shannon Dunn and
Tony Hawk just to name a few. Nixon's
huge variety of watches is a testament
to the varied tastes of their team and their
customers.Many are water-resistant and
feature tough shock absorption systems.
Now in its second
year, the Public
Enemy ski from K2 is
a twin-tip designed
for the pipe, the
park, and anywhere
else you can think of.
Designed,
developed, and tested by
K2's pro team, the
'03/'04 model features new ABS sidewalls and wider steel
edges for total rail
dominance. Bullet
rivets at the tip and
tail and the urban
landscape graphics
add to the industrial
feel of the Enemy.

freestyle boards, and this season will
be no different.The 2003–2004 model
has all the snap and edge grip you'd
expect,with cool new sunset silhouette
graphics on the base.
Burton's new Lexa bindings were
designed from the snow up by a team
of today's best female riders.Anatomically
correct baseplates were created to fit
a woman's size scale, and the result
is a pair of bindings engineered for
superior fit, comfort, and performance
for female riders.

A Woman's Touch
Ski manufacturers
are increasingly
taking women's
needs into account
when creating new
products.
As the market becomes more
competitive, no consumer can
be left behind.This is good
news for women who in the
past might have had to deal
with ill-fitting skis and apparel
that were just shorter, smaller
versions of men's products.
Völkl
The Gamma series is Völkl's new collection of women's-specific skis with 20/20
core technology.The 20/20 core is 20 percent lighter and 20 percent softer than
skis in Völkl's unisex line, with no loss in
the skis' stability or edge grip.Combined
with the Motion ski/binding system found
on most skis in this series, there's no better
blend for women's performance..
Isis
Isis makes incredible performance outerwear for women, including down and
fleece jackets and vests, ski pants, and
long underwear.This company
embraces the things that make women
unique and use them to guide their
product development. Isis recognizes
that women want outdoor clothing
that is dynamic in color, design, and
function. Their outerwear collection for
2004 is full of attractive, versatile clothing
that is built to withstand any conditions.

Dolomite
Dolomite's takes a woman's unique
anatomy into account, and creates
comfortable, powerful boots that
offer high performance and maximum
energy transmission without the
normal pains associated with ski boots.
Ladies' models are more flexible and
have specially designed supports based
on women's physiological differences,
such as lower calves and narrower feet.
Dynastar
Dynastar was one of the first companies to
recognize that skiing is closely linked to
body type and how well a certain pair of
skis interacts with that body type.When
their Exclusive series was introduced, it
was one of the only lines of skis designed
exclusively for women.These skis take
Dynastar's famous Autodrive system and
tweak it for a woman's needs, making the
skis more flexible and encouraging a more
forward-leaning position for better carving.
One of King-Keyser's most popular
women's ski groups, the K2 T:Nine
series allows women to improve their
skills and have fun on the slopes.
The six distinct skis in this series
have won no fewer than seven highly
coveted awards, such as Gold Medals
from Ski Magazine and numerous
Skier's Choice Awards from Skiing.
From racing models to incredibly
versatile all-mountain skis, you'll find
the perfect ride in the T: Nine series.
Plus, K2 will donate a portion of all
T: Nine sales to the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation.
