Going Green ~ Trail Runner

Posted in Day-to-Day on April 2nd, 2008

Living in the mountains makes it really tough to drive to work! I used to commute 37 miles one way which would take up to two hours drive time, that’s because Park City, Utah is an over developed mining town. The whole area is being built up with second homes and golf courses, and we have so much water here? I have decided to remove my carbon spewing car off the grid and work from my tough shed! Thanks to the online retailer Backcountry.com they offered me a remote job from my house, sweet!

Now my commute is from the house to the shed ! The shed idea I got from Toko Wax and Skate Ski Olympian Ian Harvey. He and I coach our daughters soccer team and Ian runs the entire North American Division for Toko out of his tough shed, that is some green thinking!

Outdoor Industry going strong

Posted in Day-to-Day on October 24th, 2007

WINTER MARKET 2007 WAS LARGEST AND BEST EVER!

Outdoor Retailer, the leading outdoor industry trade event, closed a successful 2007 Winter Market with a record 17,973 total attendees, up 24% from 2006*. The largest Winter Market to date attracted 5,602 buyers, up 14% from 2006*, who toured a show packed with innovative gear, apparel, accessories, footwear, educational events and hundreds of new exhibitors.
The first Winter Market in the expanded Salt Palace Convention Center housed a total 815 exhibitors, including 274 new exhibitors and 152 expanded booth presentations.

The La Sportiva treadmill event was a big attraction when Meltzer and Jurek went head to head right after hardrock 100.

Goat in the Cascades Mountains

Posted in Day-to-Day on October 15th, 2007

Being a big fan of Mr. Goat, Steve Clemons sent us a picture from the Cascades. This goat is looking at him as if he shouldn’t have been up there visiting. Once you get on a spine like this you can usually jog along side or behind these guys with out them getting to spoked. They probably figure if you can reach this point you are no threat to them, because you are a four legged version of the goat. Bahahahah – Two scrapes!
