Buff Stuff in Ski Magazine Online

Check Out this new post featuring our multipurpose headwear dealer, Buff, in Ski Magazine Online:


"Headband: Original Buff

This seamless and wind-resistant tube of microfiber fabric can be a lifesaver in so many ways: if it’s breezy, wear it like a neck gaitor. If it’s warm out, forgo a hat and slip it over your ears as a headband. It works as a goggle and sunglass lens cleaner, too. $20; buffusa.com."

Great Trail Events in the Northwest!




















Here at the Sherpa Group Two, we have heightened our event partnership with Montrail shoes by attending key trail and adventure races in the Northwest.

Late Winter/Spring has given us the opportunity to be present at a diverse group of rugged, wet and wild races featuring incredibly different lengths and conditions, from the beautiful days spent out near Forest Grove at the Hagg Lake 50k, to the wildest course I've ever seen - the Santiam Canyon Scramble, ran underneath the Waterfalls of Shellburg Falls recreation area in Silver Falls State Park, to the Peterson Ridge Rumble 20 and 40 miler based out in Sisters, OR.

These events allowed me (Sam) to show the line - especially the ultralight new Rogue Racers, the Fairhavens and Badrocks with their Fluid Post technology, and the dual density Lithia Loop recovery sandals, give out a little swag, and have a lot of fun with a ton of very interested folks. Ultimately, it seems like every person I touch with a little Montrail love, whether answering a question about a pair of current Montrails, giving out some lip balm, talking up a new shoe, or just congratulating a finisher, goes away thinking great thoughts about the line. It's Grassroots event marketing at its finest, partnering with some of the best local groups
