News & Press Releases

Ski-mojo, the British manufactured device that helps thousands of skiers stay on the slopes for longer, has announced a partnership with Britain’s most successful women’s ski racer, Chemmy Alcott.

Following a glittering career that included four Winter Olympic Games, seven World Championships and five Overall Senior National Champion titles as well as numerous others across five disciplines, Alcott continues to work in the winter sports industry as a race coach with CDC Performance, a company she set up with her husband and former British Team Ski Racer, Dougie Crawford.

After a serious knee injury in March 2016, and subsequent operation and rehabilitation, Alcott used the ski-mojo for the first time and not only found it useful as a knee support, but also found it helped her improve performance over long periods of time on the mountain, she said:

Over years of competing at the highest level, multiple leg injuries and surgeries has often prevented me from returning to the sport I love at the same level as before. Now the ski-mojo takes the pressure off my limbs and facilitates great technique, so I can conserve my energy whilst skiing harder for longer to get more out of my days on the mountain.

Co-Founder and owner of ski-mojo, Martin Hannaford said:

We are delighted that Chemmy has decided to work with us at ski-mojo as an ambassador and even happier that it’s helping ensure her career as a coach benefits as a result. We’ve always said that the ski-mojo not only helps skiers with injury, but can also enhance their performance too and for a skier of Chemmy’s ability, talent and experience to recognise that is the best endorsement we can get. Not all skiers have Chemmy’s ability but it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, intermediate or instructor level, ski-mojo works for everyone in exactly the same way.

Many other recreational skiers have also found the benefits of ski-mojo that makes it possible for them to stay on the slopes longer, minimising the pain they might normally be experiencing. The updated design and functionality of the ski-mojo means that constant improvements make it easier to wear.

Meriski, the Meribel chalet specialists, will be offering skiers the chance to try ski~mojo this winter through their equipment partner Meribel Ski Service.

Anyone who books a Meriski holiday and would like to try the ski~mojo, a revolutionary product that off-loads around a third of the load from the legs and knees alleviating most of the pain that many skiers feel, will be introduced personally to Meribel Ski Service where staff can provide a ski~mojo test.

The test itself can last for a day when a ski~mojo is hired from Meribel Ski Service, where staff will help in the fitting process and provide advice on how to manage it on the slopes. If a ski~mojo is purchased, the cost of the test is deducted from the price.

ski~mojo Managing Director, Martin Hannaford, comments:

This partnership with Meriski is an ideal opportunity for skiers who want to try the ski~mojo to do it easily on their ski holiday. We are delighted to partner with such a reputable operator in a resort that is like a second home to the company and we’re very much looking forward to working together this winter.

Huw Davies, Managing Director of Meriski, comments:

Having seen how ski~mojo can really help skiers stay on the slopes for longer, we’re really pleased to be able to offer this service in Meribel to our guests. Our chalet staff will be trained up and will personally accompany anyone interested in testing ski~mojo to our equipment partner, Meribel Ski Service. From there, they will be kitted out in a ski~mojo to either test or purchase the product in resort.

THE LOWDOWN

The ski~mojo test costs €40 for a day’s rental and is booked through Meribel Ski Service, Meribel – this amount is deducted from the cost if purchased afterwards. Meribel Ski Service will assist in the fitting process. A further on slope fitting service with a physio or ski instructor is also available at an additional (non-refundable) cost of €45/hour.

Meribel Ski Service sells ski~mojo for €599.00

The test is available between December 2016 and April 2017.

Ski-Mojo is happy to announce that it will be exhibiting at The Telegraph Ski & Snowboard Show, Battersea Park, 27-30 October 2016.

With the second year at its new venue, the show is an exciting mix of live events such as the big air ramp, comedy tent and a new ice rink, alongside tour operators, chalet companies, retailers and equipment brands.

Ski-Mojo will be there to tell its existing customers about the new developments and anyone new to the product, why it could help them to extend their ski life by many years.

The latest person to try out the ski-mojo on the Tignes glacier this weekend was Armel Grimault and he said on Facebook:

“Finally I had the opportunity to test the Ski Mojo and there is no going back to skiing without the Mojo!
