Case Of The Monday's By Erik Leines
Since it's Tuesday and I'm just posting this I guess yesterday really was a Monday.
Case of the Mondays will provide you a look at what it’s like to be a pro snowboarder running his own company. Each week there will be something new. This is the first Monday that I’m doing this so please hang in there…
Since starting Celtek with my brother Bjorn there really has not been a dull moment. Here’s a taste of how it went last week and a few things that are on the agenda for this week.
Bird Pass
For about the past 10 years Snowbird, UT has been supporting my cause by giving me an Unlimited Season Pass to the mountain. I went up on Thanksgiving day, picked it up and took a few laps on the mountain. Thanks Snowbird! I ran into some good friends on the hill that day. Snowbird was pretty thin on snow, but regardless it was super fun to shred the white wave.

Hazards ahead…

Some super exciting things have been going on at HQ. Celtek has been getting a lot more help than ever from all kinds of people on a day-to-day level. Big shout outs to Todd Sullivan, Kelly Gish, Kaycee Landsaw, Ian Matteson, Jon Spiris, Mike Park, Bjorn Leines, Keykey, Simon Larson, Dave Doman, Dustin Ortiz, Heath Fugate, Ashley Leines, David Carter, Paul Alden, Jun Kwak, , Mike Forester and the list goes on and on. Because everyone is killing it Celtek already has the entire collection for 2011 at head quarters right now. Here’s a little peek…
Blinded by 2011... the future is bright!
This past week we also got in some of our softgoods like tee’s and hats. Everything was looking really good. We haven’t had new production tee’s in so long… So instantly Jonny D and I started calling the team and letting them know it’s cool to come on down and grab some gear. Lil’ Celtek shreds Sam and Evan were first to get some loot. Other team riders got boxes delivered to their front door step, whaatt!
Evan Drage and Sam Taxwood. And they even said thanks.
Celtek is also in the process of making the company easier to be involved with. We got our facebook.com/celtekclan up and running about 2 weeks ago. Our goal for November was 2000 fans. Because so many rad people reached out we had 2000 fans in 4 days, totally blowing our minds. Even now, Celtek would like to reach out and get involved with more people, so we are planning on using facebook more and more to connect with everyone. So please, join us on facebook.com, and if you would, invite your friends to become fans. Celtek needs you! We want to share this brand with as many people as possible.
Thanks Celtek FANS!
That is it for this week. I will have some shiz to share with you next Monday. This week we are doing a team photo shoot at Celtek, building a trade show booth, and making some POP. I hope you have a great week!
