Outdoor Retailer Day 2

Things have gotten off to the usual furious start here in Salt Lake City. I always seem to need a day to adjust to the pace!

After a good meeting with Nick Waggoner of Sweetgrass Productions yesterday, I can announce that BSA will be partnering with Colorado Springs-based Sweetgrass on their upcoming Colorado premiere tour for their first feature length film, Hand Cut. The tour will touch every corner of Colorado, following the mid-September world premiere in Aspen, including the Oriental Theatre in Denver, Boulder's CU campus, Silverton, and Leadville.

With top notch riding and camera-work, Hand Cut centers on the rugged railroad and mining cultures that gave birth to many of our favorite winter playgrounds in Colorado, British Columbia, and Alaska, and features voice-over from long-time BSA member and San Juan Huts owner, Joe Ryan.

Look for more details on the tour soon.

Following yesterday's show, Rusted Root played a free concert outside the Energy Solutions Arena, while Life is Good hosted the largest recreational badminton tournament I've every seen (and, later presented the largest badminton trophy I've ever seen).

Now onto day 2. Today, I should run into the boys from Powderwhores, and meet with many of our current and potential industry partners.
