Joe Rauscher Tests 2011
Skis with the K2 Crew

Joe Rauscher Joe Rauscher and John Schmook
(K2 representative)


Joe Rauscher returned from a journey to Termas, Chile, South America, where he, along with the crew of K2 Skis, tested and provided feedback on K2’s 2011 product line.  Each day was a combination of official testing and exploring the mountain with Chilean guides, while evenings were spent in good company at the Termas de Chillan Gran Hotel at the base of the mountain.

 

While the information on the 2011 K2 research and development is still top secret, we can tell you that there’s some neat stuff ahead for this line of skis.  We’ll have the final lineup here at Joe’s to take to the slopes when the time comes. 

A Successful Elk Hunt for Jim Rauscher

Jim Rauscher returned this week from a successful elk hunt in the Apache National Forest of the Arizona White Mountain Range.

The 7X7 bull elk, taken with a .300 Winchester Magnum at 400 yards, was estimated to weigh 700 pounds; the antlers were “green scored” at 360.

Binoculars on your List?  Here's some help...... 

Is there someone on your Christmas list that would like a quality pair of binoculars?  You may remember from a previous issue of "Out There with Joe's," that we put together a basic primer "How to Buy Binoculars" for some good basic information.  Spending a few minutes to read through this information will help you with the basic buying decisions.  If you would like more help in making your selection, stop in or give us a call. Check Out Joe's Binoculars Online.

 
Once in a Blue Moon Sale
 
What is a Blue Moon? 
There are in fact two definitions for a blue moon. According to the more recent definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. For a blue moon to occur, the first of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is 29.5 days). An older definition, which is recorded in early issues of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, suggests that the blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons.  We won't get into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that it doesn't happen often, we thought we'd do something special during the Blue Moon that will rise this December 31 (according to the first definition).  Watch for our email as the day approaches for some after-the-holiday special sales.
