A large crowd in the Spectrum cheered the Ags on against Montana to no avail. USU lost in four games - l-15 , 15-13, 9-15, 11-Jj_ The firs1 game was obvious ly one-sided, with Montana unveiling a huge line-up which included 6-foot-3 hiller Kara Pri ce.

"We've spent a lot of time in praclice on our serve return­ ing and our free ball defense,'' said Moniana Coach Dick Scott. The practice paid off as the Lady Grizzlies got the ball consistanlly to the primary seller, Mary Pederson. "She controls the tempo of our team," Scoll said of Peder­ son, who transfered to the Montana program from a Spokane, Wash. communi1y college . With the ball going 10 1he right spot off the serve, Montana was able to run its planned of­ fense. Utah State was less consistent with its offense. The Selling was sometimes poor, prompting Cottle to say of her setting staff, "That's why we're switching Masako (Maekawa) and Lisa (Pestrello). Our key players don't play well all the Lime."

The metal ski, a technological transition Laurent Bois-Vives took charge of Skis Rossignol in Metal, strong and available in thin sheets, grabbed the attention of ski manufacturers 1956. He straight away decided to focus solely on early on. The first metal skis date from the 30s, but the war and problems with wood/ ski production and was set to give the company an metal assembly put a stop to any developments. They were re-launched by an American international dimension. It was the end of an era in 1946. Aviation engineer Howard Head used his expertise in bonding processes to for of a certain type of craftsmanship to be progres- construct a ski with a plywood core and two strips of metal either side, a version of the sively replaced by industrial scale production for a “sandwich” design used in aircraft. Head’s skis were very slim, supple under flexion, rigid under torsion and handled exceptionally well on virgin snow. In France Charles Dieupart produced a ski that used a metal cover strip and began to make quite a name for himself, although distribution was limited. In Switzerland, Attenhoffer brought in a moderately successful ski with a wooden core and a ribbed metal support. Metal ski technology was therefore the focus of ski research and production for around 10 years. But despite its qualities, the metal ski was slow to take off. It was competition success that gave it the boost it needed. In 1960, Jean VUARNET won the Downhill in the Squaw Valley Winter Olympics, wearing Rossignol’s celebrated Allais 60 skis.

  • 2007 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Fellow Shareholders
    2007 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Fellow Shareholders, In 2007, Columbia Sportswear achieved record net sales of $1.36 billion, a 5 percent increase over the prior year. We achieved our goal of expanding operating margins, increasing them to 14.7 percent of sales from 14.0 percent of sales in 2006. Net income grew 17 percent to a record $144.5 million, or $3.96 per diluted share, compared with $123.0 million, or $3.36 per diluted share, in 2006. We were pleased with those results in the context of a U.S. economy that began to weaken during the second half of the year. But, we could have done better. Net sales of Columbia outerwear products in our direct European markets declined $13 million, or 16 percent, compared with 2006. In response, we hired a new seasoned European general manager and placed the entire region under the direct oversight of Mick McCormick, our vice president of sales. We’ve reestablished strong connections between our European and U.S. product teams to ensure more direction and interaction as we realign our European product assortments with consumers’ high expectations of the Columbia brand. Finally, we are incorporating our global go-to-market strategy in Europe to leverage the strength of our Omni-Shade® and Techlite™ initiatives for spring products, and Omni-Tech®, Interchange® and Techlite initiatives for fall products. We expect it to take the better part of 2008 for our new European management team to implement the necessary changes to our product line, marketing and channel inventory management, and at least until the first half of 2009 for those changes to begin to show positive results.
