Unlock Your Full Potential in the Gates: Dive into My SHRED. Ski Race Quiver!

Hey Team,

Is everyone as excited for winter as I am? I'm thrilled to share what we, at SHRED. have been working on to enhance your performance in the gates this season.

Since retiring from professional ski racing, my passion for the sport has not waned a bit, but has been focused on building upon SHRED.'s innovative foundation. Every day is about relentless innovation and meticulous testing with SHRED., aiming to elevate the standard we've set, leading us to countless victories and medals over the past 18 years. And the result makes me feel at times like I need to get back in the gates.

One of my biggest challenges was feeling confident to race and train in flat light. We've been working with MIT for years to create our Contrast Boosting Lens 2.0 to defeat flat light and it has been a game changer. SHRED. racers have averaged 11.2 places better in races with flat and low light conditions. It's now in our latest goggle, the Gratify. It's not merely an edge—it's like having eagle eyes on the slopes.

When it comes to helmets, the Basher Ultimate in Fog Flash and Night Flash are my first choice. It's a master blend of SHRED.'s Smart Impact Protection system—merging Rotational Energy System and Casidion nanotechnology. This combination offers unprecedented comfort, a lightweight feel, and superior protection against the multifaceted impacts we encounter.

What goes unseen can often be the most important piece of equipment, that's why I always wear the NoShock Back Protector, certified to the highest level of protection standard (Level 2). It's my shield of confidence, and allows me to move unconstrained. Important to note at many levels backprotectors are becoming mandatory, but even if they aren't mandated in SL training I'd recommend wearing ours for when you get high sided.

Having endured numerous hand injuries before the inception of SHRED. gloves, the importance of guarding your hands is clear to me. My pick? The Ski Race Protective Mittens with Slytech padding that hardens on impact and a thumb pad that braces for those skier's thumb impacts . And for clearing gates swiftly, our carbon arm guards with their low friction formulation are without peer.

I'm eager to share the slopes and the passion with many of you this season. Embrace the season, explore your boundaries, shield yourself, and let's SHRED. the slopes together!

Best,

Ted
