The owner of Freeheel Life
Industries LLC (consisting
of the concept retail store,
Freeheel Life; Telemark
Skier magazine; and
Blaster!), Madsen could
care less if anyone tells
him that dropping the knee
is dead. "My philosophy is
simple-don't do business
with people that don't understand what you do. Go
slow and steady. Produce
content and products that
you know the most about.
And, of course, have a lot
of fun doing it."

Kelly Simmons
"Every day, I wake up
with an urge to create
and make something,
and I strive to go to bed
with the comfort of having learned something
new that day," says Jake
Wheeler who informs
adventure seekers at
outdoor beta hot spot
RootsRated.

No one brings more energy to the halls of OR than this
apparel brand from outdoor rec boomtown Fayetteville,
West Virginia. Their manifesto: "We are a group of storytelling 20-somethings that are organically drawn to the
outdoors. We simply run this company as a showcase for
the way we think life can be lived. We are a cumulation of
dreamers and drifters who didn't necessarily grow up."
T
he outdoor industry is nothing without new blood, new faces, new ideas. So much of what we think of
as commonplace now-think Keen's funky sandals or Cloudveil's soft shells or CamelBak's hydration
bladders-started out as a booth in the ballroom, manned by big dreamers. The oudoor industry stays
vibrant because no matter how much consolidation threatens to steamroll it, someone comes up with a new
vision that tuns the whole industry on its head. We like dreamers here. We like the future. Meet it.
French eco-apparel brand Picture Organic has been absolutely killing it here in the
States, with everything from ski shells to boardshorts. That's because the company
focuses on sustainable manufacturing while keeping prices surprisingly competitive. That's always a win. Denver based "Sales Gal" Kelly Simmons at Global Sales
Guys, who rep Picture in the U.S., is pleased to be putting the hot, green brand on the
shelves. "The creation of effortless hype and buzz for a client is priceless," she says.
