Santa Cruz, California — Giro Sport Design, the industry leader in progressive snow helmet and optics technologies, has announced a continued partnership with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort as the Official Helmet supplier and brand for the 2014/15 season.
“Jackson Hole defines the very notion of progression and showcases the capabilities of Giro’s products,” said Brendan Murphey, Giro Brand Manager. “Jackson Hole’s epic big mountain freeride terrain and forward thinking embodies the heritage and attitude of evolving our sport in the same way we do at Giro, and we’re beyond excited to partner with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to help cultivate the next generation of skiers and snowboarders.”
Terrain like Jackson Hole is where Giro develops new products like the Discord, the flagship Soft Shell helmet inspired by progressive freestyle and backcountry riding where repeated impacts are the inevitable price of progression. The continued relationship brings Giro together with organizations committed to lowering the instances of injury in their customers by participating in programs like Jackson Hole’s Kids Passport. Resort visitors will see an increased Giro brand presence on the entire mountain, with staff and coaches in Giro helmets like the Discord, in ski/snowboard camps, during special events and demo days, as well as in marketing collateral and social media.
