Louisville Family Business Outfitting U.S. Olympic Team With Ski Accessory
Ski Skootys From Louisville To Milan-Cortina
The Olympics have taken over the country, as the best in each sport command the world stage, attempting to bring home the gold for the United States of America. From alpine skiing to cross-country skiing, there's no shortage of accessories needed in the ski department. For one Louisville-based business, a different kind of Olympic dream is coming true. Valley Vista Ski Products is a family-run business in Louisville. In fact, they're so family-based that the Lawlers run their business out of their home. Their product? While they offer three types of ski accessories, their most popular is the SkiSkooty. The SkiSkooty is a ski boot protector for easier walking. Whatever your skiing ability level, the SkiSkooty combines functionality, comfort, and durability. They also offer their Bootaclava, skit boot warmers for those super cold days.

The Lawlers have an international client base, serving customers in countries as far away as Europe, Japan, and Russia. More recently, they've been elated to see American athletes at the Olympics using their product! Super-G contestant Keely Cashman and alpine skiers Isabella Wright and Nina O'Brien have all been spotted sporting the Louisville-based ski accessories. The Lawlers started the business in 2010 andhave been growing and expanding ever since. From their website:
