December 08, 2011 (Canada) – Canada’s national ski team athletes are making a splash on the World Cup scene in more ways than one this season. Not only are they grabbing attention in the results lists, they are also turning heads sporting new race couture designed and supplied by One Way and driving around in souped up team vans. The big reveal is yet to come, however, when the team unveils the team bus for the 2012 Tour de Ski, which was first introduced last year.
Cross Country Canada’s four-year deal with Finnish nordic equipment company, One Way, to supply the NST’s racing kit for the 2011-12 season, was announced with some fanfare last April. One Way, which also supplies racing suits to the French and Slovenian national teams, is known for its distinctive designs and colour schemes.
Andreas Bennert, CEO of One Way Sport OY Finland also said at the time that: “The Canadian National Ski Team is one of today’s youngest and most exciting teams in the world. They have developed, in terms of performance, immensely over the last few years. Their strong team spirit is also an important part of being a vibrant and modern cross-country ski team.”
The NST’s new One Way racing suits for 2011-12 were finally showcased in mid-November, when the athletes competing in a FIS race in Bruskvallarna, Sweden, wore them for the first time in competition. While somewhat conservative in style, in comparison to the suits One Way designed for the French national team, for example, the new Canadian racing suits feature a bright red and white colour scheme with large white maple leafs emblazoned on the shoulders and thighs, making them relatively easy to pick out on the trails. There will certainly be no mistaking them for the Americans or the Swiss (whose black suits look almost identical). This week the Senior World Cup team was seen sporting new warm-up jackets in Davos, with the women wearing white with bright pink accents.
When not strutting their stuff in their new One Way swag, the Canadian team will be riding in style in their tricked out team vans, which have received a major cosmetic facelift. “In Europe we have 2 vans, one is a cargo van which carries all our skis and gear, and the other is part cargo and part passenger,” Head Coach, Justin Wadsworth, told SkiTrax. The Canadian team now rolls into World Cup venues in a van sporting a larger than life decal of Devon Kershaw and Alex Harvey’s now-iconic air-guitar rock star pose following their gold medal win in the team sprint at the World Ski Championships in Oslo last year.
According to Wadsworth, the team leases the vans from their ski technicians, because there are barriers to vehicle ownership and long term rentals in Europe. “The cargo van is owned by Micke Book (one of our service men), and we lease it from him, and the other is owned by Yves Bilodeau and we lease it from him as well. It’s tough to own vehicles in Europe as you need to have certain requirements, so it works well with our system.”
Wadsworth also acknowledged the vehicle support the team receives back in Canada from sponsors: “In Canada we have had our vehicles and trailers donated by Canadian Pacific and Alta Gas. We have the largest Mercedes Sprinter Van that carries the team and gear with ease, as well as a trailer – both were part of our sponsorship with CP. Alta Gas has given us two pickups and an SUV for use in Canada also, which has been great.”
Wadsworth says that the new team bus will be rolled out at the end of this month: “We’ll have new logo’s on the bus, which will be seen for the first time the day before the Tour starts,” he told SkiTrax. “The same company in Germany, MZES, is supplying the bus, which they have upgraded for us at no cost. The bus this year is payed for generously by B2Ten, which has supported both our athletes and our team really well over the last couple years.”
Team Canada was the first team to utilize such team bus, and, given the success of Kershaw and Harvey in last year’s tour, it will be interesting to see how many copycat buses are rolled out by other teams use this year.

Nordic equipment manufacturers are hoping on board the trend as well. One Way recently unveiled a new truck that travels to World Cup races and features an on-board product showroom and mobile service crew.

One Way is a great company, to bad you can’t even buy the stuff anywhere in Canada or North America (outside of the poles of course). The sports retail business is truly in need of a serious make over in Canada… Time for 2.0… A new and trendy company ? Certainly not in its business ways… this is old production supply and demand, I guess the runs in asia aren’t flowing… let’s go Andreas !

Pedro, please contact the Canadian distribution for ONE WAY products VELLEND TECH, Rob vellend in Toronto. They will assist you how to get OW products and CCC products in Canada.The CCC team products are new designs especially for the team, but wmost will be available in stores as well already from this winter.
December 9th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Andreas, I’m really happy you answered. I feel a good distributor distributes and a good manufacturer creates channels. OneWay still has a 2 year old web site up, no product catalog and no online offering. I understand you might find that harsh, it’s your business.
I’m a sales manager and I love how companies execute. I beg to differ how Vellend Tech will help me, you see, I don’t remember seeing a Sportsful jacket in years. Vellend Tech goes through an agency for Quebec only (split in half on top of it Est and West) with agents, yeah, that’s right, a third player before the customer. I guess it’s that old Quebecois vs ROC mentality Ontario companies fear…I hate to be down on ya but this is like the 1990’s business model and all I can see at this point is a 3tier business with 3 levels of margin eating my change let alone a complex support structure… Why would a customer need to do any research to buy a ‘hot new young and hip’ product… This is not the art of selling hot new young and hip products.
Traditional import export and front street selling is changing. Half the gifts I bought today for Christmas were online and custom cleared. From re-sellers who had information on fitting, material, sizing and pricing. Let’s face it, just getting some clothes in time for the National team was a challenge (but you made it!), you expect us to believe we will get it easier. Did someone just forget the customers ?
My suggestion, CCCSki would do very well to pack their online store with some core OW clothing and goodies as a revenue stream and real time ordering system. Maybe they would want to jot that down with you and a real time ordering system via Vellend.
With proper snow, the sport is growing, we are just on the verge of a new xc era, much like the cycling and running growth seen in North America in the last 5 years, all we need is a picture of Lance Armstrong skate skiing. So let’s go to it and let’s provide products to customers (maybe better manufacturing practices at higher costs might be in order instead of these one trick production runs). China plants, boat deliveries and bad brokering… I understand the struggles of growth, the strategic alliances and competitive wars but marketing is also about delivering, sure the truck is nice…
Love your poles (and your skis…;), now let’s have some cool clothing !
Thank you for taking this time.
Respectfully
Pedro Lematos

Do my eyes deceive me? I see only two Canadian starters for the race in Davos. Gee I hope the start list is updated or there is a mistake. What happened?
December 9th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Larry, Alex and Devon are resting up for the sprint on Sunday and the Rogla WC next weekend. The women are as well. I am thinking Ivan will be top 10 tomorrow. The course is very tough, with plenty of climbing and plenty of grinding will be going on tomorrow. This suits Ivan perfectly.
December 9th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Well call me old school and not relevant to Modern ski racing. I thought that cross country was just that and not just ski sprinting. Devon and Alex are no slouches in the distances either and on a good day could podium. It flabbergasts me that we concentrate on sprinting. I hope this is not a trend for the season. Yea I know; go back to your cave you old troll . ok . signed Very Disappointed.
December 9th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
My understanding is that there is a very sophisticated points per volume per schedule being made for an all go at Tour de ski and beyond… you would be surprised at how they come up with that. They have been pretty good at this point. Remember how Northug had to basically kill is early season last year… or how Kowalczyk might just overshoot the whole year… Gonna be a great week end non the less.
December 9th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
I meant that the Canadian team is all about peaking at the right moment…They have a very good understanding of the physical fitness and recuperation of each individual.
December 10th, 2011 at 3:34 am
Larry, I agree with you, but that’s part of modern ski racing. I’d like for there to be less sprinting as well, but unfortunately Mr. Capol comes from the modern school of thought, where it seems like he wants more rollerderby style racing rather than pure, aesthetic skiing where the best man/woman wins. Alex and Devon ARE indeed allround skiers, and they are in such good shape, you’d think they could pretty much suit it up for every race. That said, it has usually worked for them. Last year in Oslo, they both skipped the 15km individual classic race, to focus on the team sprint which came just 24 hours after that race, and they won the whole shootin’ thing! They also didn’t contest the relay (Devon was sick, and Alex was resting for the 50). Devon also mentions this in his interview with FIS, he says that this sort of race doesn’t quite suit him as do sprints and classic races, and I would have to agree with him. Looking at Devon’s WC/OLY/WSC results, his best results have come out of sprinting and classic races.

In way back when decade countless online large businesses choose to go broke.Together with today wad of cash 500 providers as traditional competition and direct challenges, there is normally low chance that your new dad and mom business may well open your wholesale organization around these kinds of giants.It’ll be difficult so that you can profit along with such high capital vendors budget plus weekly offers for the daily buyers.It is my estimation and conclusion of the fact that most rewarding and sound chance of making an important profit or simply a living from a discount store as well as a wholesale home business is through search engine marketing.There really are numerous factor of why I am able to support these conclusion:
Owning a wholesale business on the net takes not as much as 90 secs if you now know how to research online.While starting a small business offline calls for months and often years dependant upon state legislation, permissions and also licenses intended for opening surgical treatments.I mean contemplate it, what is usually better compared with sitting at home, having a booming wholesale business without leaving your own home while continue to enjoying your energy with your own love versions? In my opinion, there isn’t a better way or option the fact that poor training and midst class can try a healthy, simple in addition to financial liberation life then an internet business.There are a number of them generating an income by selling wholesale via the internet.Take the net marketing gigantic example, craigs list.The public auction giant has 1000s of successful sellers selling right from condoms so that you can houses on a daily basis.
Developing a prospering wholesale business from the beginning can start out in well under one 100 dollars.It is possible to outsource a web development company for constructing your blog in places like China, Pakistan and various 3rd community countries at under a low to medium large nachos, while continue to having capital for advertising promotions.With a powerful offline business you would like hundreds and thousands to obtain successful brings and buyers for the shop based on your online business.So so what can be as good as an internet business for receiving passive source of income that one time successful, keeps coming and arriving for your money non-stop? In the 2006-year real truth, there will be nothing which comes additional simpler then web marketing income.You rouse in the am, check ones own email, get excited just like you see all the “Notification Associated with Payment Received”, send patron order information with your secret decline ship suppliers so you count your net income for all of those other day.That of course after getting your home business with steady free normal traffic from bing in which in turn takes afternoon or months based on how light hat or simply black hat suddenly you become in the search engine optimisation world.
In the end:I advise you start your business, get a lot of experience by selling material either about eBay or for your own websites and in the long-term view start to see the rewards which might come to your selected the correct niche goods and services to provide you with online consumers.

1.A great number of popular holiday destinations in the states are fighting with unhealthy smog amounts.Ozone smog exposure incorporates a cumulative long-term effect with your body especially in your elderly and also in youngsters.Believe that or in no way these trendy holiday warm spots have got high ozone smog:Cape Cod Nation’s Sea Coast, Boston, Maine’s Acadia Nation’s Park, Philadelphia, Good Smoky Mountains National Park your car, Maryland’s Japanese Shore, Oregon D.G., Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indianapolis, and River Michigan,
Pennsylvania (including the particular Amish farmland along with the city from Lancaster).
3.Orlando appearances beautiful when you are thinking about brochures such as the ones for your Nickelodeon Family members Suites, but upon having arrived you need to spend several hours standing inside line in order to check in and then top the idea off, after you do finally reach the workplace clerk your own room probably will not be prepared.Now, you’re free to your bedroom and 50 percent of the stuff inside your

We all know that we need to eat better but isn’t it frustrating that the healthier you try to eat the more money you seem to spend? It doesn’t have to be that way. Here are just a few tips to help you feed your family nutritious meals without breaking your budget.
1) Plan your meals around the sales. Stores routinely rotate sales items every 6 weeks so plan accordingly and stock up. Is chicken breast on sale this week? Instead of buying 1 pack purchase several packs, separate into family size portions and freeze. If you routinely purchased only what was on sale (besides the perishables you need each week) you will soon have a well stocked freezer and pantry as well as a smaller grocery bill.
2) Avoid purchasing boxed foods. Most boxed foods are full of preservatives and trans fats so it is best to avoid them. Do you like the convenience of boxed foods? There are several good cookbooks and recipes online for making homemade mixes to keep on hand. Everything from homemade cookie mix to macaroni and cheese and more. Put these mixes in a pretty jar with the directions to prepare and it also makes a nice frugal gift!
3) Use coupons wisely. How many times have you gone to the store with a fist full of coupons only to come home spending more than you planned? The key to saving with coupons is to only purchase the items you would normally use anyway. You will also find that the store brand may still be the better bargain. An even better idea is to hold onto that coupon and wait for the item you want to go on sale.
4) Do a coupon exchange. Check with family and friends who get the Sunday paper and exchange coupons for ones you can use. That way you can really stock up when your favorite items are on sale and you have coupons.
5) Buy produce in season. It will taste much better and you will usually pay less. Also in the warmer months be sure to take advantage of farmers markets for low prices on produce. Buy items like peppers and onions when on sale, chop them and freeze them for quick recipes during the week. Zucchini can be shredded and frozen for zucchini bread and other recipes.
6) Make your grocery list and stick to it. Beware of those impulse buys!
7) Shop after dinner. You wont be tempted to pick up take out because you are too tired and hungry to cook when you get home.
8) Shop alone. Nothing blows a budget quicker than when your kids are with you! You will also get out of the store much quicker which will actually save you money.
9) When buying meat think of recipes where you can get more than one meal out of it. Meatsauce is still satisfying with half the amount of ground beef. Slice up other cuts of meat for stir fries or to put on top of a nice salad and you have a quick healthy meal.
10) Don’t be loyal to just one store. Most grocery stores have certain items priced really low to get your business. If you have several grocery stores in your area try and take advantage of what deals each store has to offer.
11) Have breakfast for dinner once in a while. An omelette, toast and fresh fruit is very economical and very quick to cook on a busy night.
These are just a few tips to help you save money while eating better. I hope that you find some or all of them useful for your family!
