Strappedbelts.com Sponsors Three Olympic Skiers as They Get Ready for Vancouver



Strappedbelts.com calls Jackson Hole, Wyoming home, and for about the last week so have Sarah Schleper, Hailey Duke and Megan McJames. These three ladies have been in town since Saturday when they flew in from Vancouver British Colombia where they walked in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics.


We met up with these three US Olympic Women's Ski Team Members at Snow King Resort here in Jackson to get them "Strapped Out" and ready for the Olympics in true Strappedbelts.com form. It was a day off from training where they were told to do anything, but nothing athletic. We figured a few photos couldn't wear them out too much.



So Sarah, Megan and Hailey are ready for Vancouver and we are psyched to be their newest sponsor. We wish the girls all the best as they hit the slopes on the 24th -26th in the final days of the 2010 games in Slalom and Giant Slalom. Best of luck ladies and may our bling be replaced by Gold, Silver and Bronze!

More photos coming soon, and updates to be posted soon!
