Today’s entry is a collaborative writing and photo effort between Christine and I. We’re staying with Jerry in Salt Lake City to attend the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2006. Today was the Backcountry Basecamp, a demo day that preceeds the actual trade show event.

It was 20 F and snowing when we got to Brighton Ski area at 10,000 ft, 20 minutes from Salt Lake City. Backcountry Base Camp is the day to use demo versions of some of the new gear. Rebecca, Jerry and I (Christine) were ready to take it on. On a tour around the booths, we women were given pairs of the Fox River women’s winter socks. Very cute with embroidered girls and flowers.
