ASPEN, Colorado (September 15, 2015) – Bomber Industries, Inc. (“Bomber”), leading outfitter of Hardboot Snowboard gear in the U.S., has been recently acquired by local Aspen couple Jim and Angie Callen.

Bomber is known in the snowboard industry for manufacturing such products as the Trench Digger 3 and Trench Digger 3 Sidewinder bindings along with boot and board accessories. Bomber also formerly manufactured the popular Bomber Bishop telemark ski binding, which is now manufactured by a separate company. Bomber is the U.S. distributor of Deeluxe snowboard hardboots and dealer of Donek, Kessler, Oxess, Coiler, and Swoard snowboards, making the company the largest Hardboot Snowboarding outfitter in the U.S. and a leading promoter of Alpine Snowboarding worldwide.

“We are very excited to bring the home of Hardboots to the valley and utilize Aspen’s world-class terrain to position the area as a hub for carving and hardboot snowboarding.” – Jim Callen

Purchasers, Jim and Angie Callen, are both long time hardbooters and met each other thanks to the sport. Jim has worked in the restaurant industry since arriving to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2004, and now serves as Bomber’s full time Chief Operations Officer. Angie Callen currently serves as the Executive Director of Aspen’s Red Brick Center for the Arts, a position she intends to keep while also acting as Bomber’s CEO/CFO.

Additional Information and Grand Re-Opening Celebration Bomber has been based in Silverthorne, CO since its inception 23 years ago. Operations have now been relocated to the Roaring Fork Valley, with headquarters located just outside of Basalt in Emma. Bomber will be hosting a Grand Re- Opening Celebration at the new Headquarters, 103 Vagneur Lane in Basalt, on Saturday, September 26 th from 4 – 8pm.

About Bomber Industries, Inc. Bomber was founded in 1993 by Fin Doyle when he developed the first Bomber manufactured binding, the Trench Digger (TD). At the time, Hardboot Snowboarding was a dying niche of the snow sports industry, and Bomber reignited interest in the sport by developing a much needed product. With the eventual addition of an online forum and store featuring a full range of hardboot snowboard products and accessories, Bomber has grown from a manufacturing outlet to a full service home for carvers around the world.

Bomber is now manufacturing a third generation Trench Digger binding, the TD3, which is available in four different configurations. Along with the bindings, Bomber also manufactures several other accessories for boots and boards, including the Boot Tuning System (BTS), Fin-Tec Heels, and Isolation Plates (Boiler Plate). Bomber has been solely owned by founder Fin Doyle up until this point.
