Backcountry Ski Sensation Sean Pettit Signs Multi-Year Partnership Extension with K2 Skis.

World-renowned freeskier Sean Pettit has finalized a blockbuster partnership agreement with
the manufacturer of the only skis that he’s ever used, K2 Skis, of Seattle, WA.
The new extension to Pettit’s current sponsorship will feature both the ski and helmet
category, and carry forth into the year 2016, when the 2010 Powder Magazine “Skier of the
Year” will turn 24 years of age. (more…)

Dalbello Skiboots has announced the signing of skiing phenom, Sean Pettit, to their already impressive roster of team athletes. At the ripe old age of 18 Pettit is already considered to be one of the best skiers in the world. His ability to blend huge, jaw dropping, lines with innovative new school style sets Sean apart as the torch bearer for the future of big mountain skiing.

Sean Pettit has already earned a collection of awards and film appearances that any seasoned Pro would love to have associated with their career. Sean made a huge statement with his 2009 performance in MSP Productionʼs “IN DEEP” by taking Powder Magazineʼs “Male Performer of the Year” and “Full Throttle” awards. Pettit most recently won the Red Bull Linecatcher event in Vars, France in January 2011.

Sean has been skiing in Dalbello skiboots for a while and itʼs time now to bring him officially into the family. His innovative skiing and positive outlook are a great fit for our brand and Dalbello look forward to many years of working and skiing together.

Dalbello Skiboots is the only independent ski boot producer in the world. The factory is nestled in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains in Asolo Italy. The company has been producing skiboots in Asolo for over 30 years and is the worldʼs 3rd largest ski boot manufacturer.

TEAM (partial): Glen Plake, Tanner Hall, Jacob Wester, JF Houle, Russ Henshaw, Markus Eder, Julien Lopez, Nico Zacek, Sam Smoothy, Nick Goepper, Paddy Graham, Mirjam, Jaeger, Janina Kuzma, Ane Enderud… and Sean Pettit.

Here’s some footage from the 2011 Red Bull Linecatcher. While I’m sure there will be more to come, this will have to hold you over till then!

Sean Pettit throws down at the 2011 Red Bull Linecatcher competition in Vars, France. The young Canadian never lost his top spot in the field but that did not stop Italy’s Markus Eder or Bend Oregon’s Tim Durtschi from gunning for him (we do not promote skier on skier violence) throughout the competition. While most skiers were taking the first run easy Pettit and Durtschi stepped on the gas. Skiersrealm will post video footage when it is available so check back soon.

Red Bull knows how to party and they bring love to every sport they strategically allow a red blue and yellow helmet.

The 2010 Red Bull Cold Rush results are in and all I have to say is, WOW. That is the best competition ever. Red Bull sure knows how to make it happen. Check out the video and watch it all go down. The 2011 K2 Hellbents that Sean Pettit is rocking look pretty sick. READ MORE AND WATCH THE VIDEOS…

The Red Bull Linecatcher event in Vars, France was quite amazing this year. The new competition format catered to the style of free skiing’s top athletes. For the past couple of years it seems more and more pros are leaving the terrain park for natural hits in the back country. The course in Vars had a big mountain feel with select takeoffs throughout giving everyone the freedom to choose a line and hit huge transfers. Frenchman Candide Thovex took 1st by sticking his final run, K2 Ski’s Sean Pettit placed 2nd but maybe should have been a little higher with his mind blowing run, and CR Johnson rounded out the podium with the bronze.
