This isnt really a rant, but more a post of praise. As i look over Giv's new website, i began to understand what kind of companies i really want to support. Companies like Giv and Joystick are taking a different approach to the ski market. With support to things other than just skiing (snowboarding, music, art) i am truly impressed by these companies. While im sure that every company has a firm love for what they are doing, these companies really stand out. Its pretty inspiring and refresshing to see what these guys are doing. To me, these 'companies' are more than that. Sure they have product, a way for income to keep thier company alive, but the also feel like more, A loving community of people who share a common love of shredding the white winter wave. If you get the time check them out, or havent already...
