Outdoor Retailer Report - Bigger. Better. More beer.

Posted by neal on 8/8/2007 on neal's blog

Some people never learn.

Remember last winter when The Enthusiast Group (publishers of YourClimbing) sent Yann and me to Salt Lake City to check out the Outdoor Retailer Winter Show?

Well, not only are they sending us again, but the folks who run the show are actually letting us back in. Outdoor Retailer Summer Show, here we come!

Bigger. Better. Warmer. More beer. Those have been the descriptions we've heard over and over again about the difference between the summer and winter shows. Bigger? I'm pretty sure anything bigger than the winter show legally requires its own zip code, and as for the beer...well they might have more but I'm not sure I can fit it in. I'm still burping from January. But one thing I'll totally believe is that it will be warmer; I've been to Siberian prisons warmer than the OR Winter show.

(No I haven't.)

As for better, well that's what we're going to find out. We're taking the camera equipment, and leaving our shame at home.

Salt Lake City - prepare yourself.
