"Special" Ski Demo Day

Gov. Huntsman bites his lip, and refrains from physically assaulting Boss Godfrey

Fascinating article in today's Standard-Examiner... fascinating that is, if you know a little bit about the winter sports marketing industry -- as your blogmeister does. What happened is that "somebody" scheduled a "special" ski equipment "demo day" at Snow Basin.

"Demo Days" are nothing unusual in the ski industry. Ski industry manufacturers routinely show up with their vans with samplings of their latest products ski at resorts all over the world. These events happen hundreds of time a year.

What's "special" about this... The Governor of Utah was in attendance, along with some sixty ski industry reps, including Roger Tolermo, the CEO of the Amer Sports, largest Ski Company On the Planet!

Those in the know realize that Governor Huntsman loses no love for Boss Godfrey, a so-called "Republican" whose chief advisor is the Democrat Ex-Senator, Ed Allen. And we doubt Huntsman and Godfrey ever "cleared the air" over the bogus endorsements.

Kudos for Huntsman for biting his lip.

A Weber County Forum Tip o' the Hat to governor Huntsman for his fortitude in supporting Ogden... Utah even... in promoting Ogden as the world's best winter vacation spot, and the place at which ski companies most like to locate in herds.
