We casually called the Salt Palace just to see if there happened to be any booth openings left on the floor of one of SLC’s largest conventions—the Winter Outdoor Retailer show. Sure enough there were a couple spots left, so for a nominal fee and a whole lot of help from our bros at JDHgroup—we got ourselves a booth and made our début at the OR Show.

We had a great time. And at the end of the day there were a ton of hippies sportin’ Struck stickers, some great contacts made, and most importantly some solid Guitar Hero III scores were laid down for the very granola onlookers.

As far as products were concerned, everyone was buzzing about Black Diamond’s new line of ski boots. For me and some fellow Struckers—we were pretty stoked on the serious amounts of “fashion-tech”? going on. The Lolä booth was sporting some great looking tweed numbers for the ladies. And the crew at Scapegoat somehow pulled off some serious outerwear that completely satisfies both the outdoorsman and hipster in us all.

So look forward to seeing more Struck action in the outdoor arena.
