Save the date RACERS, for the Sturtevant’s Race Day!  Reps from all the big race brands will be on-site to showcase new equipment, answer your questions, and fit athletes for their new gear. This will be your opportunity for eligible athletes to order 11/12product (see eligibility rules at bottom of flyer). And/or we have a few race skis from 10/11 available to all racers at additional savings. You do not want to miss it!

If you cannot make it to the store on Oct 2nd, Sturtevant’s will continue to offer racers the opportunity to order race products on discount through Sunday Oct 10th, 2011.

            

Sturtevant’s offers “Racer Discounts” to qualified athletes ONLY, on “Race Specific” products ONLY. Please see the bottom of this flyer for clarification on discounts, and who will receive a “Racer Discount”.

 

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to bring your family to Sturtevant’s.  We would like to take this opportunity to re-iterate that the focus at fit day should be selecting the right product for the racers, so we can place the orders with the manufacturers.  It is a good idea to place your equipment order today or no later than Oct. 10 as race equipment does sell out early from the manufacturers.  We honor the published racer sales prices from each of our vendors – on race specific products - plus the appropriate shipping charges. After the 10th of October Sturtevant’s will not place “Race Orders” at the published race day prices. (Items ordered after Oct. 10th will be subject to as much as an additional 10% cost and additional shipping and handling fees.) Product availability will also be extremely limited by the manufacturers this year, so orders need to be placed early.

These things are important, please read:

Skis

Have the coach/rep/staff size your athlete(s) but keep these guidelines in mind- SL skis should stand upright to the bottom of the chin minimum and up to nose height maximum, GS skis to the top of the head minimum and up to 2” above.  Combi skis should come to the nose. These guidelines are for J3 and younger.  J1&2 athletes should meet the USSA/FIS minimums and have coach’s input. 

 

Ask the rep: if the skis/boots are in the country?  This is very important!  Please be conscious of the fact that if the stuff is not in the country today, you may not see it till after Thanksgiving.  Buying equipment that is not in the country is a bit risky. Sturtevant’s will place all orders with the manufacturers in a timely fashion, but Sturtevant’s cannot guarantee delivery from the manufacturers!

 

Bindings

For those of you with lighter athletes (70 lbs and less) be sure to tell the rep/staff selling you bindings what boot you will be using.  Some boots for juniors only accept jr din bindings.  We have had several situations at fit day when clients have bought skis/bindings and boots that are not compatible.  Almost all boots under size 22.0 are Jr boot soles.

 

Boots

Many kids at fit day buy boots too big because they feel good on their flip-flop summer foot.  Make sure the rep/staff is shell sizing your athlete and that there is no more than ¾ inch between the heel and the back of the shell when the toes are touching the front (1/2” for J2 and older).  Do not buy boots that your kid is going to “grow into”, that does not work.  We will make the boots bigger during the season as necessary.  Boots can be a made a whole size bigger in a few locations as needed.  We can make boots bigger, but can not make them smaller effectively. You have a lot invested in this sport, and boots are absolutely critical to the athlete’s success. This is not the place to cut corners.

 

TUNING

Marc Morrison is the lead tuner and technician at Sturtevant’s and is able to provide great tuning options for both new and used race skis. On race day ask about our special – buy 2 tunes get a 3rd free.

 

Custom Footbeds and boot fitting 

We have an outstanding boot fitting staff. Once your new boots arrive, please schedule an appointment with our fit center to get custom footbeds and your boots final fitted. (425)454-6465 

We really appreciate your support.  The shop is really dialed in and we are ready to get after it.

Thanks for coming and think snow!
