Boulder, CO, March 3, 2010 - SCARPA Bhutan GTX, a new boot for 2010 that combines big-boot support with the dexterity and easy break-in of a far lighter boot, was named ‘most versatile’ boot by Backpacker in the magazine’s annual Gear Guide to the world’s best outdoor equipment. Visit the SCARPA web site.

Magazine tester comments include:

• “Impressive support for ski boots. Normally, my feet are fatigued at the end of a day, but after seven hours in the Bhutan, they felt great.”
• “It handled heavy loads in ankle-twisting terrain, but wasn’t too stiff to rock-hop.”

The Bhutan combines the sole package from SCARPA Kailash GTX, which won Backpacker’s 2008 Editor’s Choice Award, with a full leather upper for added support and more durability.

Jackson, WY, Feb 23, 2010 - Cloudveil, producer of mountain apparel, announces the resignation of Co-founder/President Stephen Sullivan. Sullivan leaves Cloudveil clothing after almost thirteen years to pursue personal interests.

Sullivan has overseen Cloudveil’s product, marketing, sales and retail divisions through the course of the company’s history, starting the company with Co-founder Brian Cousins in 1997 out of a tiny 400 square-foot office in downtown Jackson, and building it into one of the top outdoor apparel brands.

“My resignation from Cloudveil was submitted in late January as I was made aware that there would be a change in ownership,” explained Sullivan. “Although the last 13 years have been extremely rewarding, I decided that it was simply time for me to take a step back and re-evaluate both personal and professional objectives.”
