"California or Bust" was the first phrase to use "...or bust!" Pioneers heading west put this on their front gates or front doors of their properties when they suddenly left for a better life in the western US.

In this case it represents our 4th annual Pierce Skate & Ski end-of-season ski testing trip to Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming. The trip is to celebrate a job well done by the best staff a shop owner could ask for and to test the latest and greatest in next year's gear.
The focus of testing will be on men's & women's all-mountain/all-condition skis and side-country/pure mountain skis. The key is that they are being tested in the conditions and terrain they were designed to be skied. You can not effectively test these skis in the Midwest.

Dave Hinz, Terri, Tyler & myself are heading out a day early in order to set up the 40+ pair of test skis. The drive out is just shy of 1,200 miles and 19 hours through Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and into Wyoming.

Who knows? Maybe we will get lucky like Terri and I did last March when we had waist deep snow and a high for the day of 22-degrees and had fresh track all day long.
"TARGHEE OR BUST!" Indeed...
