My guest bedroom in the ski house. The Chew K2 rug was in a local ski shop and I put it on my Christmas list a few years ago. My wife was so embarrassed that she had to go in and offer $20 for a rug on their floor. They said fine, but wanted $25 !!

I looked on-line for the 50th anniversary red, White and blue skateboard when it came out, but could never find it.

K2 Swag
SKIING Nov 1974
SKIING Spring 1971

off that same order form, I bought : knee pads, fanny pack, Spider and Wayne posters, visor, scraper, double ski bag, pennant and factory worker shirt. Unfortunately, I only saved the fanny pack, Spider and Wayne posters and the factory worker shirt.

'Chew K2' is stuck in my mind forever. I don't know why, but it is.

I remember the campaign. Why it stuck in my head is, I guess, good marketing.

Thanks Matt Sterbenz from 4FRNT

Yes, that is Phil Mahre looking over in the corner.

Phil, is that an after market brake with the Look GT on the 610's? I do not remember the Look GT's coming with a brake.

It's a Geze brake. Ironic now that these are the same company now.

Spider Sabich in a March '71 pro race. The K2 Four came out the following season so I asssume he is on a prototype version with the red, white and blue bottom. Never seen that tip before.

These 255's of Spiders are in the Colorado Ski Museum's warehouse. Volunteered there some but the "day job" got in the way. I will go back once I'm really retired.

I would love to work there. I was in Vail last month but museum was closed for renovations.

Dave...open invitation to dinner in beautiful downtown Littleton, if your ever in Colorado with the time to indulge. I've met Phil at SIA for 30 seconds I'd love to improve those moments.
