The Rope Lady

The first time I was referred to as The Rope Lady it caught me off guard enough that I laughed, but I liked it.  It was a new customer and the skier who had told him about me could not remember my name so he referred to me as The Rope Lady.  This blog will be a format for me to share my rope and handle knowledge, past, present, and future, with you.  I will not be adding any posts to my Slalom Mainline Blog, but rather will pick up here where I left off (sorta of).

The other day me and my old rope guy were talking about the rope and handle industry.  He stated that the only contribution Masterline had made to the industry was the slalom mainline training loop.  I told him this was not true that I had introduced this concept back in 1992.  It was a while after this when Masterline started marketing their slalom mainline with the training loops; they sold a mainline with extra loops between every line length.  A lot of my skiers over the years have ordered custom slalom mainlines from me with a couple of extra loops.  It will be interesting to see what skiers have to say in the forum regarding this training technique as a tool to get from one line length to the next.  In March I will be revealing another idea, pertaining to slalom mainlines, a famous skier uses at his ski school.
