I’m proud to introduce Kicker Snowsports, a brand new ski manufacturing company right here at home in the USA located in our nation’s capital, Washington DC.  Our products are designed for you to conquer the mountain and terrain park, especially you East Coasters.   Our skis are finely tuned to specs perfect for East Coast shredding.

We will be going live in Sept 2013 and will be touring all over the Northeast this winter.  Look for us at demo days and ski shops near you.  We will be launching a twin tip all-mountain ski in September and a twin tip park ski in December of this year, so stay tuned for updates. 

Be sure to visit our website (link below) and like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter.  Throughout this season, we’ll be giving away free merchandise and even a free pair of skis to randomly selected people who like/follow us on FB/Twitter, so don’t miss out!  Remember, liking/following both FB and Twitter gives you double chance of winning!

We appreciate your support and we are looking forward to the 2013/2014 ski season! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

More information about your company would be nice. Are you guys independently owned? do you guys actually ski? who are your athlete?

Why would I should I choose your skis over the countless other, indepently owned companies, who have core riders, designing, building and testing their product? /runon

We are a group of engineers who enjoy recreational skiing/boarding both on the slopes and in the park with 10-25 years of riding experience each.

We will be manufacturing all our skis ourselves with a specific focus for east coast conditions.  We will be launching our first model in September. The first model will be an All-mountain ski designed for the Intermediate to Advanced rider. We are working out the designs for a park ski at the moment which will be launched this December.

Our full website will be launched in September. We will give more specifics about our ski designs at that time.

Thank you for your interest and stay tuned for updates in the upcoming months.

December seems a bot late to bring out a new ski (dunno how other companies do it, just my opinion), since most people probably allready bought a pair for the season (those who do at least)

We will also be scouting for athletes all throughout the East Coast during our Winter tour so stay tuned for updates on our current location this coming season and keep an eye out for us!

Do you plan on selling more than skis? Outerwear, tall tees, etc. Also will you be releasing bindings with the skis or just the skis themselves

We'll be selling tees and hoodies (and also giving them away). Sorry we won't be selling bindings this season, but we will further down the road. More information on our skis will be released in the coming month or so when our main website goes live in Sept.

Normally new ski gear gets released around september, sometimes earlier. But maybe you're doing right with releasing it for the christmas trade

We will be trying to get to as many resorts as we can. We will be doing most of the PA resorts, a New York tour, and a Vermont/New Hampshire tour. We are located in the Maryland/DC area so we won't be able to reach everywhere but let us know where you ride and we will do our best to make it happen!

Thanks for the feedback.

Wow, you really hurt my feelings. Whats a guy to do? You need to tone that venom down a bit. You were the one that said let the hate begin. In fact I didn't even hate. I was giving positive feed back. The web site has no useful information. Correct me if I am wrong. I am all for new and innovative brands pushing the industry forward. I look forward to see what the Kicker guys have to offer, yet I am unable to because of lack of information. So you my friend.... "Shut the fuck up and get OFF NS."
Oh and have a fruitful and glorious day! With love and peace.......

You are correct we will not be producing bindings. However, we will be seeking partnerships with binding manufacturers to provide them with our skis. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Ok yeah that makes more sense. I would not even bother rebranding though will end up costing you more then its worth until you are making some real big sales numbers. Make skis and make those good first, don't bother with anything else.
