September 29, 2010 (Canmore, Alberta) – Fast and Female presented by Best Buy is partnering with Skadi Nordic Inc. to expand its cross-country ski-specific retail product line. Through this new and exciting affiliation, fans of Fast and Female will be able to look good by purchase pink branded BootDock and BootBuddy products, and feel good as 33% of proceeds from those sales will be donated to the non-profit society dedicated to the empowerment through sport of young women ages 9 to 19 in Canada and the USA.

BootBuddy and BootDock

The BootBuddy – which is available for Pilot, NNN and Profil boots – protects the soles of ski boots from everyday wear and snow compaction while walking in the boots. The BootDock is a wall mount that allows skiers to neatly store their boots (optional period) in conjunction with the BootMate which is used to carry and keep ski boots paired and organized.

“As a leader at several Fast and Female events, I have seen firsthand the impact that Fast and Female is able to have on the young ladies who participate,” said Laura Valaas, CEO of Skadi Nordic. “I could not be more pleased to be able to help Fast and Female pursue its mission through a partnership with Skadi Nordic. Skadi Nordic is proud to be able to both provide a cash contribution to the cause through sales of Fast and Female branded products as well as to spread the word and increase the visibility of this non-profit society in the ski community.”

Purchases for Fast and Female branded products can made online through the Skadi Nordic site HERE.
