Another week on the road with great news from all. The first stop was the ABS Comp at ISU. There was almost 100 participants. Good job Chad and all of the Rec staff at ISU for pulling this off.

Then the next week found AAO in the Minneapolis area and Sandstone Ice Fest. The recent cold snap seems to be a great help with sales. The displays are looking great and looks like product is selling. I got a chance to stop by a lot of the stores and do a few clinics for those of you missed out during our last trip through.

Towards the week found me at Sandstone Ice Fest during the first really cold snap of the season. The thermostat ready a blistering -18. But the climbing was good and a good turn out. Good Job Tony and all who made the fest happen. Looks like the climbing will be good all throughout the season up there.
