I certainly remember the name but can't recall where they were.

I do...as I recall, near a train station? Years ago I visited when I repped for Granite Gear and a few others. So many outdoor shops that most likely have disappeared. Meanwhile, I almost always carried at least one pole, two in the winter since maybe I was 40 (72 now). Visions of fast descents...

Climb High, of course. I can't recall his name either. Not to take this thread in another direction, but who'd you work for? There was a lot to like about being a sales rep, but in the end I was sick and tired of traveling, holding people's hands, and then have all the aforementioned changes...

You have more detail on that whole mess than I ever did! But yes, that story is pretty accurate AFAIK. We were made aware of the distribution going to BD at the summer Salt Lake City show, so I was out of one company to rep for. Not long after that, two others I repped for either changed...

What's a 'Thunderbolt'...other than that ski/hike trail on...the eastern slope? Some sort of club I would guess...

I have so many memories and stories of hiking and camping there. I'm 72 (today) but in my day: hiked from the south gate to the summit and skied down. Camped on the summit in late March one year, froze our tails off. Painfully post-holed the last mile to the summit one mostly snow-less winter at...
