More than 200 entries were received from all over the world. The announcement was made on T. J. Schiller’s website (www.tjschiller.com) on November 25.
Toney says " I was fortunate enough to place second in the competition and am more than psyched to have done so. I am still in disbelief that I did so well. This competition has sparked a flame inside me to create more ski designs and hopefully eventually landing a design on an actual pair of skis.”
