Right now we’ve not got a distributor in New Zealand, so for the 2010 sounthern hemisphere season we’re happy to supply riders down under directly from the factory and even better there is free shipping. All that you have to do is pay the GST and clearence fees (no duty to pay) at the New Zealand end.

prices are

Redeemers NZ$900, Preachers NZ$850 and Ones NZ$800. 

(this deal only applies when shipping to New Zealand and until stock has gone and is only valid to the end of Aug 2010 or which ever comes first)

contact info@whitedotfreeride for more details.

A ski company that listens.

Riders asked if we could keep the graphics for one more season. We’re doing it. We’re going to keep the wall paper graphic for one more season due to popular demand.

Riders wanted a slightly thicker base on the Redeemer. Currently the base of the Redeemer is a .8mm base with a 1.8mm steel edge. Next season both the 180 and 190 Redeemer will have a 2.5mm steel edge and a 1.2mm thick base. The new Ragnorok will also have a 2.5mm edge and 1.2mm thick base.

Dots Dozen will continue for the 2011 season. in Previous years we’ve taken orders from the new members then pressed skis to order. This season we’ll introduce the new dots dozen intake of 12 when skis have already been pressed to speed up the delivery from months to a week.

A review by Ally Paton - Skier, White Dot enthusiast, purchaser and fellow scot!

Managed to pick up a pair of 189 Preachers from the guys at Whitedot Freeride after speaking to one of the current team skiers Ally Watson.  Had a bit of an epic journey picking up skis driving for hours and eventually getting them mounted up with this seasons Marker Dukes, the day before leaving for a trip to the Les Deux Alpes and La Grave!

First impression of the skis was promising, they look well made, the graphics are good and it’s a light ski for its size.  Flexing the ski the tips were not the stiffest in the world but under foot they did seem pretty solid.

Day One of the trip we woke to blue-bird and powder and one of the most epic days I have had in a good few years.  The first run down was a quick blast on piste to get to a small-untouched powder field we had spotted on the lift up, this was my very first impression of the skis and one that amazed me!  Fast from edge to edge, gripping very well and turning tight with no strange characteristics at all, it’s not a slalom ski by any means but the torsional stiffness for a ski of this size and turn radius made it a lot of fun.  If you’re looking to go 200mph then the ski may be a bit soft, and when going straight with the skis running flat there was a very slight wobble but this is eliminated by putting a very small amount of pressure on the edges, though this is common with most wide ‘turny’ skis.

Once in the powder (must have been about knee deep) the skis came alive; having the big and slightly softer tip made the skis float well, rise up and never bog down, the big softer tip eliminates the need for rocker (in my opinion) and makes this a very versatile ski.

There are not many trees in Deux Alpes so having to turn tight wasn’t an issue and just letting the skis run was amazing, very bouncy and lively and the feel of the ski gave me a lot of confidence. There was however, a sensation that they would like to keep turning though this wasn’t difficult to sort - just don’t put so much effort into the turn and this wont be a problem!

Les Deux Alpes

Day Two; Still bluebird but strong over night winds made the conditions not quite so good, a bit wind-packed and slab-like however the skis held their own on this as well, no problems.

Les Deux Alpes

Day Three; Crossed the glacier at the top of Deux Alpes using the dukes and skins, this setup worked well making it quick and efficient.  Visability was poor, we couldn’t see much apart from angry French pisters at the top of La Grave!  We ended up lapping the trees which was epic in waist deep powder; [the Preacher] performs so well in these conditions, turning hard and floating the whole way through each turn.  On the final section back to P1 the huge La Grave moguls became apparent, for a big ski they coped well despite scrapping a few rocks here and there.  I was pleasantly surprised I had only made a few light scratches which suggests to me that the bases are strong and durable.

Les Deux Alpes

To finish the day we skid the Trifide 1 Coulior in poor visability though with epic snow, again I was grinning the whole way down!

Used the skis back at Glencoe in Scotland where I spend most of my time skiing and found them to be very good here as well.  The mountain isn’t as big or spacious as the Alps so having the ability to turn tight when you need to is a very good thing.  You can get a lot more from a ski like this than its stiffer counterparts on the smaller mountains so its description as all mountains is spot on.

The ski performs very well over the entire mountain and you don’t feel its size, I don’t regret choosing these skis at all.

Cheers to the guys at Whitedot Freeride for sorting out the gear in time for the trip!

[photos to come]

My life is boring, wake up, put my boots on grab my Ones and go up the mountain come back down eat and help my flatmates get rid of all the beer they buy (damn english housemates ).

It was a night jib comp fun setup rails and boxes a high standard which pushed me a bit…enough to win it !!! that gives me straigt entrance to the final of the sicktrick tou slopestyle next week..fingers crossed for that one!
This weekend in Mayrhofen was the freeski open …I missed out on a place in it so I am going to a different comp in Sunsite park in eastern tirol which I was invited to because I won it last year.
The snow conditions here are getting bad as today was more like spring than winter but the the clouds are coming and we hope to get some snow soon !! we hope !!
I am loving the skis and they have been good all round so far…I cant wait for some  pure rockered park jib skis that you guys are talking about for the future so in the mean time I be careful with my ones. promise!!
So thats about it from Austria for now but i will let you know how these comps go next week.
