Industry News Release Written By: Jen Taylor

(Jackson Hole, WY – April 7, 2010) Mountain Khakis®, a premier outdoor-lifestyle apparel brand “Built for the Mountain Life”, is swimming in contests and giving away pants from their new Snake River technical-performance collection!

With the launch of their new Snake River technical-performance collection, the folks at Mountain Khakis® can’t help but slur their s’s and sssspeak with a hisssss. Timed perfectly with their new Snake River product launch, MK has two epic contest campaigns in the works to get YOUR butt in their highly-sought-after Snake River quick-dry apparel.

1. MK & Save Our Wild Salmon’s “We Love Rivers” Contest:
Announcing the kick-off of the We Love Rivers contest with the non-profit organization, Save Our Wild Salmon (SOS). From now until April 30th, river-rats can submit a photo of their favorite river and enter the chance to WIN a highly-coveted pair of Mountain Khakis® Snake River Pants. SOS will post one picture a week on their blog and will be giving away MK swag throughout the contest as well.

Entering is easy! To submit you picture, upload the image (s) to the Save Our Wild Salmon Flickr Pool. Make sure your photo has a title and a description of why it's your favorite river. We look forward to seeing your work and the rivers that you love!

Save Our Wild Salmon is a nationwide coalition of conservation organizations, commercial and sportfishing associations, river groups and taxpayer and clean energy advocates – is working to restore healthy and abundant wild salmon to the rivers and streams of the Pacific Northwest. And Mountain Khakis® is proud to help magnify their important message.

Why is their mission important? First, the Snake River. With headwaters beginning in the wildlands of Wyoming, fed by meltwater from the Tetons (MK home-base), its waters flow through the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and the Palouse prairies of Eastern Washington before feeding into the mighty Columbia River. Second, the legendary Snake River sockeye salmon. Snake River sockeye have the most epic migration path of any salmon on Earth — swimming more than 900 miles inland and climbing 7,000 feet in elevation to spawn in the rugged Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho.

For 20 years, this diverse coalition of advocates has joined forces to save this icon of the American West and the waters they return to each year.
