The freeski company Movement of Switzerland has become the distributor for the American management company Progression Brands Group and will be relaunching the brand in North America at the Outdoor Retailer Snow Show at the end of January in Denver. Movement is offering a diverse range of skis, mainly for the all-mountain and touring categories. Past distributors for North America included Vancouver-based Recreation Outfitters in the late 2000s, Garmont North America in the early 2010s, Liberty Mountain in 2017 and, most recently, Skimo Co. of Utah. The renewed attempt to gain a foothold in North America follows the recent win of a 2019 Backcountry Magazine editor’s choice award.
