You do know what Salomon’s Kilo is, right?!
If on off-chance you haven’t heard of the Kilo, here’s a brief explanation offered by the Salomon Nordic boss, Nicolas Stamos:
” The Kilo Program is where specialty ski shops can order on customer’s demand skis that are hand picked at he factory according to a very narrow corridor and according to the exact specifications. So you get skis picked exactly according to your own preferences among thousands. Top selection! Also you can get the same grinding we propose to our World Cup athletes. You are thus treated exactly as Sjur Roethe, and get the skis he could have used in Seefeld for example. This just requires a small effort of early booking in order to be best served. Early birds catches the worms!”
For something that became a bit of a stuff of legends, it’s actually one of those rare easy-to-touch legends. The Daily Skier had a massive privilege of a brief tour & explanation by the very guy in charge of the Salomon racing ski selection/preps as well as of the Kilo Program, Jean-Marc Draeyer
