Hello Friends,
Head Local of Locals Have More Fun - An Environmentally Cool Clothing Company is slaving away in his cubicle, working hard in order to get a major clothing company off the ground. It is late Thursday afternoon and in 40 minutes I will be free for the weekend.
Lots of Locals work to do on Friday, but looking forward to a great weekend of getting outside as well.
As a newbie blogger/social media artist, I have tapped into the local community to help. Kendall Card of Basecamp Communications is a rockstar blogger and has even made a job out of it. Who would of thought? He linked the local ProBar to hottie Marisa Miller (she is hot) and her diet and voila, a star is born!
Anyways, it has been a productive day. Contacting Zappo's, cousin Har in Santa Fe, and tackling the financial markets (see SBUX popping off a rounded bottom). That leads me to the Philanthropy part of today's post. Working at a non-environmentally friendly, ignorant company to pay the bills at Locals only fuels the fire more to educate the masses about the world's playgrounds and how they must be protected.
I am proud to say that I have been a member of Sierra Club since the late 90's (I was still in college) and that Locals Have More Fun is a part of and a huge proponent of 1% For the Planet (see Patagonia).
Off to talk to the last client of the day.
Brian

Local Shoulder Season
From Friday, April 24th, around 8:30am
The days are long and the snowline creeps higher and higher. With the banner snow year that the Wasatch Mountains had, one has to take full advantage of it. I woke at 5am on Friday as I knew Kendall Card from Base Camp Communications would be waiting at the parking lot across from the Silver Lake fire station (more on that later). I threw my gear into my Ford Hybrid and pulled out of my garage - 17 degrees the thermometer on my car read!
Needless to say, I pulled into the meeting place a few minutes early, geared up and selected my SKI playlist on my ipod. 6:05...6:10...6:15. Departure from the car to see the sunrise from Mt Baldy was to be at 6:00am. Kendall flaked (I woke him to confirm).
I set off at a relaxed pace, able to parallel the Sterling high speed quad and was able to get a shot off of the sunrise coming over the Uinta Mountains. See Brian Kahn's facebook page as I did a little promo shot for http://www.localshavemorefun.com/
I decided not to go all the way to the top as it looked a little windblown (we had a major snowstorm a few nights before). I unskinned, tightened my boots and had 25 sick turns, then a flat run out, where I passed Ryan the construction worker on his way up and then about 15 more windpacked turns.
I skinned back up for one more run, upset that there was someone else out with me, but more secure as bears are hungry this time of year and now I didn't feel the need to whistle every 30 seconds.
An epic day, maybe the last runs of the year. A great day to reflect back on the season we had and to curse my sleeping comrade Kendall as well.
