Macombers  Coming  to  Grayling

this Thursday May 1st.  Not only includes possibly Michigan's finest choral and entertainment group (Rialto Theatre) but also coffee and donuts at Flowers by Josie, Lunch, and discount coupons for downtown Grayling.  Contact R J Hannon for details.  989.348.7146  I believe that it is only $15 dollars.  Hope to see you there.

Extra time and looking for an excuse to come north?  Trail work is a continuous spring, summer, and fall activity.  Can always use an extra hand or two.  989.348.5989  Been working on the elimination of the right hand turn in the front 40 part of Rollercoaster.  Excited about the solution. 

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, Sapporo, Japan

SKIS:

Madshus skis (29.5% of the skiers used Madshus skis vs Fischer's 33.3% ) won 9 gold & 11 silver = 20 gold and silver medals! Almost twice as many as the nearest competitor.

Atomic (19.2% of the skiers) won 5 gold & 6 silver = 11 gold and silver

Fischer (33.3% of the skiers) won 4 gold and 7 silver = 11 gold and silver

The exciting part also is that you can get the same cera based skis from Madshus. Cera based skis for the others are only given to team skiers and to the best of my knowledge are not available to the skiing public. You are not allowed to have the cera based skis that the racers for the other brands use. Computer controlled molds, a true cap ski, and honest weights and now the most Gold medals!

Boots:

Madshus boots (24.4% of the skiers) 8 gold & 10 silver Salomon (39.7% of the skiers) 8 gold & 9 silver, Fischer (2.6% of the skiers) 2 bronze

Madshus - simply the best skis & boots in the world.

Won 7 of 11 Competions!

46.7 % of the total medals were won on Madshus skis. 

50% of the boot medals (next closest was a little over 16%)

Not a close second to Madshus!
