Ben Anderson is the Founder of Icelantic Skis. Icelantic started as an idea that Ben had in high school. After a short stint studying Industrial Design at Western Washington University, Ben moved back to his home town Evergreen, CO and started building skis in his parents garage in 2002. After a lot of trial and error and with the help of a few good friends this dream became a reality and Icelantic was born in 2006. Ben's favorite part of his role is the creativity that comes with the job and being able to come up with ideas and bring them to life. In the offseason you will find Ben on the river fly fishing or at the ocean, sailing, surfing and swimming. Bobby is joined by Ben to discuss Icelantic Skis, Skiing, Desing, Art, Travis Parr Studios, Backcountry Skiing, World Travel, Surf, Fly Fishing, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Winter on the Rocks, Colorado, Outdoor Life & much more.

Hey Fam. This was such a fun interview ... as this is such a fun person!  I grew up in Breckenridge, Colorado, where people live and breathe skiing.  What a life, huh?  Anyway, one of the most popular ski brands growing up was Icelantic.  Fast forward a decade or so, and I find myself sitting in front of their creator, Ben Anderson.  And can I say, this dude is the actual sh**.  Really.  Like the kind of person you just always want to be around all the time.  His energy and outlook on life are contagious.  I am truly so honored to call him a friend.  One of his mantra's is ... if you give it your all (your actual all) you cannot fail.  And I freaking loved that.  So give this a listen, and apply it to whatever you've been daydreaming about.  Just freaking do it with every ounce of your soul.  Thanks for the advice, Ben. Find Icelantic Skis here. And Ben's Instagram here. Both are fantastic. Ans as always, find me here.

Annelise Loevlie, CEO at Icelantic Skis - This episode co-produced by Verde Brand Communications and the Snowsports Industries of America (SIA) Unless you’ve been happily living under a rock, if you’re in the outdoor recreation industries, you’ve heard about specialty brand leader, Annelise Loevlie. She’s the beloved CEO of Icelantic Skis, a brand that’s figured out how to be concurrently established, yet also, new and young. Icelantic Skis are designed and manufactured in Colorado, and the brand is well known for changing it up in terms of distribution, events and brand activations. That’s what we’re here to talk about today; how Icelantic leverages a continually refreshed channel strategy. She and the team are constantly hacking what works with their channels to be where their brand fans and consumers want them to be. It focuses on wholesale partners, their own sell direct channel, and is driven by an innovative mix of content marketing, social media and good, old-fashioned embedding with their community in-person. How many CEO’s do you know who work a promotional sale with retail, in person, over the long Labor Day holiday - every single year?  Back in 2006, Icelantic Skis won ISPO’s “Best Hardgood for the Year,” in Munich, Germany, which launched them in the ski industry world-wide. The team at Icelantic Skis has not stopped making headlines or catalyzing the conversation online since.  In this episode, you’ll hear first-hand how Annalisa has led a direct-first brand through continual evolution of a multiple channel strategy driven by what their target consumer wants from them. Their strategies include unique approaches to the festival scene, innovative artistic partnerships, video content, consistent relationships with key brick and mortar shops, showcasing of product at resorts, online sales and more. Icelantic’s success is community-inspired and that can only work with an independent, yet nimble brand within the outdoor recreation industries.  Annelise Loevlie is CEO at Icelantic Skis, an award-winning and internationally recognized ski brand with a stalwart and highly engaged following. The company prides itself on American craftmanship, top of the line materials and cutting edge graphic art.
