After winning our first Elan Chicas Design Contest in April 2009 it was now time for Spela Rihar, from Slovenia to pick up her prize. Her day at the Elan headquarters started with a visit in the Elan office where she was introduced to the whole P.Lab. After checking the actual works and receiving a unique souvenir-package Product Manager Dragan Gojkovic and Marketing Manager Dorothee Cuny attended her to visit the Elan Snowboards factory in Fürnitz, Austria. Here Spela got the one-of-a-kind opportunity to follow the whole process of building a snowboard. She was even able to hand on some steps in the production-process by herself. After the lunch breaks it was time to continue the tour and head to the next stop: the Elan Chicas design agency VBG in Ljubljana. Spela was welcomed by the designers and had the chance for an ample talk about the whole design process of the boards, boots, bindings and all communication material. Loaded with lots of information and fresh ideas it was time for Spela to work on the finalization of the Elan Chicas Notebook. It was her task to set-up the order off all pages for the final production of the exceptional notebook. As Spela is studying design and communication the whole experience at the Elan headquarters was a useful and very interesting experience for her and she was very happy getting this chance.
