Life Link and Dynafit Part

Life-Link Backcountry Travel and Dynafit have agreed to end their distributor relationship after the 2006/07 winter season.

After a fruitful 8 years it is apparent and agreed upon by both parties, that it is time for Dynafit to continue doing business on their own terms in North America. They have great product and we believe that Dynafit's success will continue to grow under Salewa U.S. A.

Life Link will continue to ship, order and customer service Dynafit until March 07 where Salewa will take over.

Interesting, interesting indeed, just like Scarpa.

Just heard through the grapvine the Montrail, ie Cloumbia have fired all their Montrail reps for the Sorel reps. What was that, Sorel?

So the huntin crowd are buying Montrail trail running shoes or maybe Montrail are getting ready for the big box stores as they are now owned by Columbia and is mearly about number's now. Or are we going to see a Montrail and Sorel hybrid shoe/boot combo, yeh we don't think so.

Is this the beginning of the end for Montrail as we know it.

Fall in the High Unitas

Fall is a great time of year in Utah, especially when you get a couple of days out of the office. Did a great hike up Shingle Trail and yep around 9,000ft a wee bit of snow. Totally forgot about Elk Season though, it's abit unnerving to see hunter's and knowing your in their scope especially when you meet one hunter whom I could here a mile away with a fringing scanner. Idiot, I think the Elk are safe from one hunter.
