Last week we had a beautiful, sunny day in Park City. Wes, Devin, Minnie, and I decided to strap our skis on and do a little boot-pack at Parley's Summit. We naturally strapped on The Goat, and climbed with ease. Check it out:

A whole bunch more blog love
Hey everybody, It looks like the Nectar and Elixir project on Kickstarter is spreading out into more and more blogs. I'm having trouble keeping track of all the attention we're getting! Here's a list of several blogs helping spread the love:
Twitter love from @mathowie
Thanks everybody for helping spread the word. We're really encouraged by all the positive feedback! Remember, though, we won't get any funding through Kickstarter unless we hit the $15,000 threshold! This means we need to get everybody out there pre-ordering through Kickstarter! Go forth and donate!
Goat ski sling makes getting to the slopes easier
Check out Wes, Sara, and Camille heading to the slopes for a beautiful day of skiing. Look how relaxed they look, even while carrying a baby carrier and all the related baby stuff. They can definitely thank The Goat ski sling for this.
Now imagine this scene without The Goat. Actually, you don't have to imagine. I'll show you. It would look like this (hit the jump).
Now, honestly. Which do you want to be? Yep- you picked the right answer. The one with The Goat ski sling.
More blog love from Pedal Consumption
Our friends over at Pedal Consumption shared some blog love today for our Nectar and Elixir project on Kickstarter.

Bike Hugger gives Swarm some love
Bike Hugger has picked up our Kickstarter project over here! Thanks for the love, guys- we really appreciate you helping spread the word. And everybody stay tuned- we're talking to Bike Hugger about participating in Built at SXSW. Anybody else have a product story to tell? Head over to Bike Hugger and send in your idea for Built!
The NECTAR and ELIXIR are live on Kickstarter! Check it out today!
Everybody head over to Kickstarter to check out the NECTAR and ELIXIR seat clamp / bottle opener for your bike. If you want every ride to end well, you'll definitely want to get your own NECTAR fixed seat clamp, or ELIXIR quick release seat clamp. They both have a built in bottle opener, look sweet, and will bring a smile to your face every time you ride!

Nectar and Elixir launching on Kickstarter Feb 7!
Remember those sweet new products we introduced about a month ago, right here- Nectar and Elixir? Well, we are finally ready to launch! Like we explained, we are trying out Kickstarter as a launch platform, since it connects cool projects with cool people. Make sure you head over there and check out our project. If you like it, donate, and we'll send you your very own Nectar or Elixir in April as a thank you! Check out the other cool projects, too. Kickstarter has a bunch of awesome people with great projects, and they need your support, too.

Goats in Aspen
Attention everybody who either lives in Aspen, or will be traveling to the area. Make sure you pay a visit to Ute Mountaineer. This is the place to go to set up a guided trek, or to pick up some sweet mountianeering gear. Need to get The Goat? This is the place! See you in Aspen.
Most amazing product ever- coming soon...
In the coming weeks Swarm is going to be releasing what may prove to be the most amazing product in the history of the world. First there was the wheel in 4,000 BC. For thousands of years people ignored its true potential until the summer of 1817 when the good Baron Karl von Drais decided to put two wheels together to create what would eventually become the bicycle. Over the following two centuries people made incremental improvements on his design, and slowly the technology progressed to its current state. Bikes have been designed to meet a variety of needs within human society- transportation, fitness, delivery, getting there on time, population control, and being just like all the different people.
Following roughly the same timeline as the wheel, beer is thought to have been developed around 3,500 BC in the area that is now Iran.
Though beer and bikes have been following parallel paths for thousands of years, and beer has often been linked closely with the subculture that sprang up around bicycles, the two have always been separate.
Swarm has finally bridged the gap. We have developed the most important device known to mankind since the invention of both the wheel and beer. What is it? We can't tell you. We can, though, say that it will make biking more rewarding...
