If you happen to be passing through Toronto in the next bit, I'd highly recommend you swing by the New Salomon Store at The Shops at Don Mills, a new 'concept' mall that just opened in the past week. The Salomon Brand Store is the first one of it's kind in North America, owned exclusively by Salomon - Other partner products included in the store are SkullCandy, Suunto, Smith and Red Bull! (note: There are 2 other Salomon Stores, one in Whistler Village, and another in Mont Tremblant, but these are different in that they partly owned/operated by Intrawest)Since I was in the neighbourhood for a little biz, I was invited to take part in their first promo event where Salomon friends/family stopped by for a fun social night to help promote and celebrate their latest project.
The store is cool and was packed with all the footwear, apparel and gear that Salomon Canada distributes - It was actually pretty neat to see all our gear displayed in one location - a great opportunity for a one-stop shop! Check out some pics of the grand opening!

Somehow I got roped into filling in as a bouncer w/ Mike - Tough crowd these Salomon shoppers - Not sure how our combined weight of 300lbs would fare against a real crowd, but I'm happy to report that no incidents occurred during my shift!(photo credit: Virginie Tisseau)
Shoes anyone? A glimpse at the Salomon footwear 'wall' - I think there was only one missing shoe from the entire Salomon line-up...

Even Red Bull showed up to help kick off the festivities - The crew gets busy setting up the DJ booth

The Salomon Store crew, and the key Salomon staff members that helped build the store - Great work team!(photo credit: Virginie Tisseau)
I just hung out by the cheese/dessert section - a bit of 'fat loading' for the 5 Peaks race the following day... (photo credit: Virginie Tisseau)
