Bluehouse and the Boo Koo Chug

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

Bluehouse was at the Utah Freeskier Society’s Super Meeting last night. We were able to meet a lot of ski enthusiasts and introduce our products to many. For six attendees, we took it to another level. After having their names randomly drawn, they had the chance to chug a Boo Koo power drink for a free pair of Bluehouse MRs.

It was Shane Thoreson who drank his way to victory. THAT BOY CAN CHUG! Watch him talk about his skills:

Bluehouse shouts out to the Utah Freeskier Society for a good scene last night and allowing our involvement. Also thanks to Boo Koo for their generous donation of canned energy. And one more special thanks to the lovely Caitlin Morgan.

On a side note, Andria Huskinson reported seeing multiple people with BH skis while touring at Alta on Friday. That’s good news. Very good.

Rage Films “Enjoy” at the Launch Party

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Outside my window it’s snowing dinner plate sized snowflakes. Winter is definitely in the air and on the brain of the Bluehouse crew. With our first winter season approaching Bluehouse is stoked to announce the official launch party with the premier of “Enjoy” from Rage Films. We’ve lined up a great evening with tons of Bluehouse swag along with some ski give aways.

The party and film will be Thursday November 15. Tickets are on sale through FeedTheHabit.com and will be $7 if you purchase them online. The first 100 to purchase tickets get hooked up with a Bluehouse tee shirt. We’ve got your back, literally.

All the other details are on the Rage Films Enjoy page of our website. Trust us, just get a ticket, show up, kick off the launch of Bluehouse Skis and good things will follow. The rest of your season will fall into place after that.

Check out the teaser.

The Untechnology of Bamboo

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Brad Baldwin of RockyMountainVoices.com visited us and placed a Vidcast interview on the site. Brad first found interest in Bluehouse because of our use of bamboo for our cores. He calls what we do the “untechnology of bamboo.”

Ed McMahan or Brown Santa?

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Why should Brown Santa have all the fun? He rallies through neighborhoods in that big brown truck, sportin’ shorts 365 days a year and dropping off the goods. People see him pulling up in front of the house and it’s like they won the lottery.Speaking of the lottery, what about Ed McMahan? That guy brings the stoke wherever he goes, especially if he’s knocking at your door.

We figured we’d get in on the game and spread a little ski stoke of our own. So a few days ago we went about delivering skis a little different and stole some thunder from both Brown and Ed. Trust me, it was as sweet for us as it was for our Bluehouse customers.

Bluehouse Soccer

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

The Bluehouse Soccer Club had its opener tonight and pulled out a win, 8-4.

After the game, a dude from the other team approached us and pronounced himself a BH ski owner. We were very proud. Maybe we’ll recruit Matt to play on our team next session!

Here are some pics from the evening’s events.

Sharing the Love

When it comes to skiing big lines in the Utah backcountry, building booters in Flagstaff or heading out from Alta Ski Resort for a cliff hucking session at Rocky Point, MR up for silent auction at the UAC fundraiserthe Utah Avalanche Center is the source. Their mountain weather forecasts and current snow conditions along with the daily avalanche advisory are top notch. The observers spend long hours in the mountains and get up a lot earlier than any of us to keep people safe with current information about the snowpack and the dangers that exist. Most of this work is thankless, not to mention the shoe-string budget they operate under. (we know what that’s like)

So last month when the 14th annual Friends of the Utah Avalanche Center fundraiser rolled around, Bluehouse couldn’t pass up the opportunity to kick down a pair of 179 MR to help raise funds at the silent auction.

Hosted and staffed by employees of Black Diamond, the silent auction tent was packed while outside the beverages were flowing, music crankin and the excellent eats from Rico.

When I last checked around 8pm that night the bidding on the MR was at $200 and there were more than a few people asking about these skis they had never seen before. An unnamed Black Diamond employee was extra stoked about the MR’s shape and light weight - perhaps he’ll be trading in his BD skis this year.

If you were the lucky winner of these skis drop a comment and let us know what you scored the skis for? Either way we’re stoked to have helped be a part of raising over $30,000 for the UAC.
