Description:
Salt Lake City-based headwear manufacturer announces Aspen-based, Ted Davenport to its athlete roster for the 2012-'13 season.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH –Discrete Sport, LLC, a rider founded, owned and conceived headwear brand in the winter sport industry, is proud to announce the addition of Ted Davenport to their athlete program. Equipped with a parachute and wingsuit Ted has been pushing the limits of human flight both at home and abroad. A well-known name in the freeski community (and Discrete ski athlete since 2010), his exposure as a professional b.a.s.e jumper has been increasing more and more over the past few years.
Discrete has committed to sponsor Ted because he stands out as an action sports athlete, whether on snow or in the air. Last spring he jumped out of a helicopter 2000ft over Aspen Mountain in a promotional event for Bentley Motors, yup, the car brand. He’s logged several first descent ski-base jumps in Baffin Island, Switzerland and Colorado, and just last week he was in the Swiss Alps filming wingsuit proximity flying for GoPro and Nitro Circus star Erik Roner’s famous web series Roner Vision.Ted’s strength is flying wingsuits, but he is a multi-talented b.a.s.e jumper. With winter just around the corner Ted is gearing up for ski season, and has some unique projects lined up back in Europe, combining his two passions, bigmt skiing and b.a.s.e jumping. Discrete is proud to help him in his future of this budding sport.
“I created and built awareness for Discrete by sponsoring amazing athletes,” said Julian Carr, Discrete Owner and professional skier. Discrete Sport, LLC is the true rider conceived, rider owned, rider operated headwear company in the snow industry. Business operations begin in 2008, Discrete is a collaboration of athletes, designers, musicians, artists, and photographers. The company’s international office is located in Salt Lake City, Utah with distribution in the United States, Norway, UK, France, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and South Korea.

Salt Lake City-based headwear manufacturer announces Salt Lake City-based skier Sierra Quitiquit to its athlete roster for the 2012-2013 season.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – Discrete Sport, LLC, a rider founded, owned and conceived headwear brand in the winter sport industry, is proud to announce the addition of Sierra Quitiquit to their athlete program. Equipped with some of the biggest energy levels and a string of recent publications, she is poised to keep up the momentum, showcase Discrete and make a solid addition to a well-rounded Discrete athlete roster.
A Park City native, Sierra has been on snow since she was two years old. With a background as a ski racer and a former World Freesking Tour competitor Sierra brings a fast, aggressive and confident style to the mountain. Alta has been her home mountain for the past six seasons but skiing has led her to adventures in Chile, Argentina, Switzerland, Jackson Hole and Alaska. Last winter was a particularly successful season for Sierra. Her hard work has led to publications in Powder, Skiing and Ski magazines as well as new opportunities for filming, travel and sponsorship.
“I created and built awareness for Discrete by sponsoring amazing athletes,” said Julian Carr, Discrete Owner and professional skier. “Sierra fits our program so well, it’s refreshing to know there is a gal out there with so much talent and an eagerness to work hard – that’s our formula.”
Sierra will be based out of Salt Lake City for the 2012-2013 season, but has ambitious plans to keep her on the road. She’s planning a trip to Japan to ski endless powder, experience the culture and work as a model in Tokyo. Sierra hopes to find steep transitions and big airs in Jackson Hole while filming with KGB Productions. Alaska is also on her hit list with a ski to surf adventure. While in Utah, she will be climbing mountains in the backcountry, spinning laps at Alta and working with professional photographers. Sierra’s goals for the coming season are to, “train hard, go big, have fun and spread stoke.”

Salt Lake City-based headwear manufacturer announces Mammoth-based, Chris Logan to its athlete roster for the 2012-2013 season.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – Discrete Sport, LLC, a rider founded, owned and conceived headwear brand in the winter sport industry, is proud to announce the addition of Chris Logan to their athlete program. Equipped with some of the most stylish tricks on the competition scene and a number of strong film segments with Level 1, he is ready to showcase Discrete and make a solid addition to a well-rounded Discrete athlete roster.
Discrete has committed to sponsor Chris because he stands out among the slopestyle and film skiing pack with a combination of technical tricks, style, and big airs. Well known as the guinea pig for all of level 1’s massive jumps, Chris put out his strongest segment yet this season and shows no sign of slowing down. Discrete is proud to help him in his future in the sport.Chris's strength is jumping, but he is a multi-talented skier with great rail skills. His 2010/ 2011 season highlights include winning the North Face pipe and park open slopestyle, securing him a spot at his first Winter X Games. In the 2011/ 2012 season, his second season of competing at a professional level he qualified for the finals in both of the Dew Tour stops that he competed in. This past season he aimed his focus more towards the film aspect of skiing, and with some very productive trips to Alaska, Europe, and Pemberton, BC he showed off his rounded ability in both the streets and backcountry jumping talents.
“I created and built awareness for Discrete by sponsoring amazing athletes,” said Julian Carr, Discrete Owner and professional skier. “Chris fits our program so well, it’s refreshing to know there is a kid out there with so much talent and an eagerness to work hard – that’s our formula.”
Chris will be based out of Mammoth Lakes, California again for the 2012/ 2013 season. He plans on competing in The Winter Dew Tour, along with a few other contests throughout the season. He also plans on continuing his film career with Level 1 Productions and putting out web edits with his Mammoth based crew Montage Inc./ Purple City Project.

Interview: Julian Carr's Balls Interview: Julian Carr's Balls Are In The Air
- From: brodyleven

Description:
Discrete Headwear owner and professional skier Julian Carr drinks a beer in Chile. Photo: Chris BezamatSure, he’s on DVD covers, posters, and probably on top of whatever social media app you’re currently perusing, but Julian Carr does more than style his professional ski career. His business savvy is as on point as anyone else with 40-plus-hour workweeks; the difference lies in his ability to keep his 120-foot frontflips on point, too.
World record holder, Discrete Headwear proprietor, and professional skier Julian Carr has a couple of balls in the air — and not only when he’s dropping cliffs. This week, he’s managing incoming shipments, hiring sales reps, dispersing product to retailers, designing the 2013-’14 line, revamping website content, and handling international brokering. He fails to mention maintaining contact with his thousands of social media followers, fans from around the world, and his entire ski career. All of this after spending the last three weeks in Chile, competing at La Parva’s Eye of the Condor event, which he won (People’s Choice and Best Photo Portfolio).Yesterday, I joined Julian for the second of his two time-trial trail runs of the day, on Salt Lake City’s Mount Olympus, bookending his long day at Discrete’s Salt Lake City headquarters.
BRODY: Rank your abilities: 1) Skiing off 100-foot cliffs; 2) Instagramming; 3) Dog-owning; 4) Business-operating.
JULIAN: 1) Decent; 2) Have a ways to go to catch @brodyleven; 3) Crush it; 4) Always learning.
BRODY: Why did you start Discrete Headwear?
JULIAN: Because I love creating stuff that people dig. I’m so appreciative of each of Discrete’s customers.
BRODY: With the optimism of a skier, I will now claim summer to be officially over. So, given summer’s recent end, how did you spend the miserable season-that-shall-not-be-named?
JULIAN: Europe in May, NYC, Vegas, Portland and Denver a couple times each, Bend, San Fran, Sonoma, South America. Portland has the best trail running and is home to my sister’s family and my mom. Vegas is the wildest. New York was a lot of working. Denver is where Icelantic, Spyder, and some new business relationships are based, so it rules. I raced $150,000 Audi R8’s in Sonoma’s Sears Point Raceway during the GoPro athlete retreat. That was so radical. Between trips I hang and hike and water ramp in Salt Lake. I work on Discrete wherever I roam, but have an incredible team holding down the fort when I’m away.

BRODY: Your social media following is more likened to a celebrity than a skier. How did that come to be and what does it mean to you?
JULIAN: My nose for action is always sniffing and it’s super fun to interact with everyone. Thanks y’all!
BRODY: Everyone knows you won two of the three awards at Eye of the Condor in La Parva. Last time I was there, I was living in a snow cave, hitchhiking to the mountain, and trying to find lift tickets. How are Condor athletes treated? Do you get discount lift tickets!?
JULIAN: Between the marketing department, Mike Reff, and the mountain host, Rodrigo Medina, they took care of us. We skied, slept, ate and were merry. Very merry. It was cool being there with some heavy hitters like Rachael Burks, Ingrid, Davenport, Adam Clark, Sherry McConkey, Kaylin Richardson, Parker Cook, Bezamat, Roderick, the Widsix crew, the Icelantic crew and local Chileans.
BRODY: I heard you got sponsored.
JULIAN: Icelantic, Spyder, GoPro, Discrete, Backcountry.com, Smith, POW gloves, Suunto, Panda Poles, MFD bindings.
BRODY: …speaking of bikinis, what is your ideal vacation?
JULIAN: My own bed.

Carr obviously has an undying and atypical desire to succeed. And while we all hold different definitions of success, it’s hard to disagree with Julian’s tireless work ethic, vigorous drive to be the best skier/CEO/person he can be, and ambitious determination in both the mountains and the office. - Blog post

News: Top Athletes, Industry L News: Top Athletes, Industry Leaders Confirmed For Sony Eye of the Condor 2
- From: media-75233
-
Description:
La Parva, Chile – Top skiers and industry leaders are scheduled to arrive in La Parva this week for the second annual Sony Eye of the Condor, a week-long film and photography contest. Set in the heart of the Andes, La Parva will play host to athletes including JT Holmes, Julian Carr, Rachel Burks and Drew Tabke, and industry leaders including Chris Davenport, Adam Clark, and Ingrid Backstrom.
“The Eye of the Condor format is full-throttle,” says professional skier JT Holmes. “It's not a long period of time and the competition is fierce, so you have to hustle to get exciting shots, but with the terrain available it all works out. I tend to need a week to decompress after the event.”
While the film and photography competition will be the centerpiece of the event, a collection of industry leaders will also provide a forum for broader discussion during the Eye of the Condor Actions Sports Symposium. Industry leaders such as Chris Davenport, Dave Fields and Julian Carr will offer their insights on the roll that action and adventure sports play in the world at large.
“Yes, Eye of the Condor is about teams producing the best short film and photography portfolio, but it’s also a celebration of skiing and mountain culture,” says La Parva Director of Corporate Sales and Marketing Rodrigo Medina. “It’s a perfect way to share Chilean ski culture with the rest of the world.”

Interview With Julian Carr As Interview With Julian Carr As He Signs To Icelantic
- From: SamPetri
-
Description:
Today, Icelantic Skis announces the addition of professional freeskier and entrepreneur Julian Carr to the Icelantic team. Julian previously skied on Atomic.
Julian, who has been a professional freeskier for 10 years, has an impressive resume. In 2006, he set the world record cliff drop on skis when he front flipped a 210-footer in Engleberg, Switzerland. Caught on camera, the feat won him Powder Magazine’s photo of the year. Julian has published his ski writing in national magazines and has been featured on the cover of national publications three times. In competition, he has been awarded the Freeskiing World Tour’s Sickbird belt buckle. And of course, Julian has accomplished all of this while running his successful company and cult-like brand, Discrete Headwear.
In light of Julian moving to Icelantic, Tetongravity.com caught up with the Salt Lake City-based freeskier to talk about his change in sponsorship, the best run of his life, and world enlightenment. Read the interview below and scroll down to watch Memoirs From The Mountain Episode 9 with Julian Carr.
TGR: Why leave a large company like Atomic and go to a smaller company like Icelantic?Julian Carr: Atomic is amazing, Atomic's staff is amazing, and I've gained friends there that will last. I have nothing but great things to say about them, their product and my experience with them. It was pretty cool being part of a company that has so much history. And on the flip side, with Icelantic, it's cool to be with a young company that is creating their history everyday. The Icelantic team is built around some outstanding individuals that are busting their ass, busting moves and getting it done everyday. The creative and positive vibe you absorb from their team reeks with enthusiasm and success. I couldn't be happier.
TGR: Are you going to come out with your own pro model on Icelantic?Julian Carr: I will be developing a ski with them, yes. Will it be the Julian Carr pro model? Probably not. Not my style. But rest assured, it will be a kick ass ski with kick ass graphics. The ideas are churning already.
TGR: What Icelantic skis do you ride on now?Julian Carr: The Gypsy. Such a bomb ski.
TGR: When did you start hucking huge cliffs? Can you remember the first huge cliff you dropped? What attracted you to it? What did it feel like? What makes you want do it again and again?Julian Carr: About four or five years ago, I was stuck I the 50-footer zone, but I finally had an intellectual epiphany that landing off a 100-plus footer would feel the exact same as a 50-footer. All I had to do was maintain my composure and relaxed status in the air for maybe one second longer — tops. So one day I hiked into the Hellgate backcountry with Adam Clark. I eyeballed and lined up an 80-footer we named "PAC-MAN," that I've jumped about sic additional times since. I just simply thought my way through it. Of all people, check this out, Rob Holmes was with me, he probed the landing as I was up top directing him where to probe. It was a go. I liked it and Rob Holmes liked it. As I was stamping out my in-run, now check this out, Jamie Pierre rolls up. First time I met him. He checks out what I'm up to and respectfully gives me my space and watches me line it out. I give Adam the green light. I punch it — a nice straight air, kept it tight, hit the ground and it felt exactly like all the other 20- to 50-footers I'd done. At that moment, I knew it was game on. The next year I jumped, straight-aired, a 175-footer on Dec. 4. I ended up jumping that cliff four times that year in Wolverine Cirque. Front flip, back flip and a spread eagle on April Fools day. And I went to Switzerland and got off a 210-footer. In that year alone I probably jumped over 25 different 100-plus footers. What a fun season, I also got to heli-ski in AK with Kreitler and Tom Wayes and skied the best line of my life. Tom Wayes said it is still one of his top runs he's watched. Love that dude, I call him Caveman.
TGR: Who is your favorite skier of all time and why?Julian Carr: Billy Poole. He could ski anything put in front of him. He had my back in the mountains and I had his. Cheers Billy boy.
TGR: What's the best run of your life so far?Julian Carr: Ha. I guess I already touched on it, but it was in Haines, Alaska. Last day of trip. Just an insane line with a spine gap transfer ramp jump thing, land, bust a mandatory left that led to six house-sized pillows, then out. I skied it well and got three published photos from that one line. It was my last line of the trip and I'll never forget it. And being able to do it in the presence of Wayes and Kreitler was really cool for me. I love sending big airs, but I really just love skiing straight-up and to cruise around Alaska with two of the best skiers and get their endorsement meant a lot to me.
TGR: The logo of your hat company Discrete is inspired by The Tower Of Hanoi — a legendary puzzle that asks monks to stack 64 discs one-at-a-time from one column to another, according to specific rules. Smaller versions of this puzzle exist as a game. Have you solved this puzzle? How long did it take? How does the concept of this puzzle apply to you and your company?Julian Carr: I love this question. I learned of the Tower of Hanoi in a computer science class called Discrete Structures. Obviously, that is also where I got the name for Discrete, too. Anyway, yes, I did conquer the tower, it really isn't that hard, but the solution is an algorithm that I actually had to design a computer program to execute the algorithm on. It was much easier with only five discs verses the 64, though. Ha. In the real Vietnamese legend, once the 64th disc is complete, the world will be enlightened. And get this, this is also supposed to go down in Dec. 2012, so the Mayans and Vietnamese might be up to something.
TGR: How might Discrete and Icelantic collaborate in the future? Any ideas in the works?Julian Carr: Plenty. I'll be cruising around with those guys in Germany for ISPO, then skiing around Switzerland, so we'll be getting chatty, for sure.
TGR: You grew up in Salt Lake City and you live there now, what keeps you in SLC?Julian Carr: Clean, safe and beautiful are the fundamentals of SLC. But beyond that, it's a world-class city with world-class snow. I love skiing, but I also love having friends in SLC that don't ski. I can go chill out with them and just be me, not Julian the skier all the time. Love it

Description:
This is the third and final episode of Jen Hudak's web series titled, "Moving Mountains." The following is a video description from Hudak:
In the midst of the craziest contest season of my life last year, I managed to escape to Japan for an epic adventure. Accompanied by my good friend Julian Carr, founder of Discrete Headwear, we met up with filmer/editor extraordinaire John Roderick of Neu Productions, world-renowned photographer Erik Seo, and our guide Nobu Murai. We were headed to experience the isolated parts of the Japanese Mountains to the North near Furano-- to step even further away from the contest scene, away from sponsors, away from business. It was time to reintroduce myself to the joys of skiing, of creativity, of fun.
With a 5 a.m. wake-up call the next morning, we loaded our van and made the venture north. By 8 a.m. we had arrived at our hotel and by 9:20 a.m. we were on the tram. By 10 a.m. we were about ready to throw in the towel. Conditions were about as bad as they could have been for Japan. There was nothing to do but laugh, so I did- quite heartily- and shortly thereafter everyone else laughed too. Thankfully Julian was there to keep the confidence up. He is incredible for that. (Maybe that is why he can successfully front-flip 200+ ft cliffs.)
After working for a few hours, Julian managed to find a few airs to get off of, and after a mini-melt down from me, he convinced me to ski a small line and drop into snow that resembled conditions I skied when I blew my right knee. By the end of the day we were feeling a bit more comfortable with the conditions. We worked hard for the shots that we got, and though they weren’t many, they were as good as they could’ve been. But we were all wondering what we would do in the coming days. We needed snow, a lot of snow.
Apparently the snow-gods were listening and they blessed us with a bit of a storm. When we woke the following morning and looked outside, it was clear that there would be some fresh snow, but we figured only about 6-10″. It would help. We could milk some pow turns, but we would still have to look for that northern aspect and jumping off of anything might still be questionable. We headed out, slightly skeptical but mostly optimistic.
It didn’t take long to realize that it had in fact snowed about half a meter up top. Right away we were getting face shots. The new snow was deep and it didn’t seem to be letting up. From run to run, our bootpack would be filled with new snow. This went on all day. We got shot after shot. I skied some of the deepest snow of my life and got to do it with one of my favorite people. I got to ski for me again and it was extremely refreshing. A few airs, lots of pow turns and endless smiles. As you can see by this edit, we got it good for the next few days.
I am so grateful for this life and am so grateful for moments like this that provide the reminder. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget just how lucky we are. Life is a blessing. Remember to try to make the most of it everyday, and you’ll be on a good path.
Kampai.

Salt Lake City, Utah - Discrete Headwear, a rider owned and conceived headwear brand in the snowsport industry, is proud to announce the launch of a web series, starting with eight episodes, and the release of one new one each week throughout the 2010/11 season. Each episode offers colorful, clever, less than two-minute clips of Discrete’s athletes, artists, employees, and friends.
Discrete has committed to this project, in owner Julian Carr’s words, “With the idea that webisode content does not need to be a huge time investment, most of our episodes are under one minute and very entertaining.” Discrete is proud to showcase, in it’s initial eight episodes; Discrete athlete’s Ian McIntosh, Jen Hudak, Discrete CFO Clayon Quarles, artist Casey Kawaguchi, and owner Julian Carr.
Discrete will display their web series on their flagship website, www.discreteheadwear.com, Vimeo, blog, company Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Discrete is in their third year of business operations, and has undergone tremendous growth in the last year. This TV series is aimed to offer something for everyone excited about the brand, “Discrete grew 100 percent from 09/10 to 10/11” says Carr, “we are a fan of people having fun in the mountains and in life, I feel like this TV series reflects that.”
Discrete is a unique snowsport brand appealing to snow enthusiasts and hard core riders alike. “I created and built awareness for Discrete by sponsoring amazing athletes and thinking of unique ways to promote them,” said Julian Carr, Discrete owner.
To celebrate their momentum and officially kick-off the 2010/2011 winter season, Discrete proudly releases, DISCRETE TV, “Off the top of our head.”
