Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 18, 2010, Sport Chalet, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Second Agreement") dated as of October 18, 2010 with Bank of America, N.A.

Under the terms of the Second Agreement, the Company’s existing bank credit facility has been amended and restated as follows: (i) the maximum amount that the Company can borrow (the “Line Amount”) has been increased to $65.0 million from $45.0 million ($55.0 million including a $10.0 million special advance facility that terminated on October 1, 2010), from January 1st of each year through August 31st of each year, while the seasonal revolver limits remain unchanged at $70.0 million, from September 1st of each year through December 31st of each year, subject to availability based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, (ii) the interest rate has been decreased from the Bank's prime rate plus 2.0% or LIBOR plus 4.5% to prime rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%, at the Company’s option, (iii) the $5.35 million minimum EBITDA (measured monthly on a trailing 12-month basis) has been revised to increase by $0.5 million in December and June of each year beginning in 2011, until 2014 when it reaches $9.35 million, but the revised covenant would only apply if the Company’s availability falls below the greater of (x) $5.0 million and (y) 10% of the Line Amount (presently $70.0 million) or the borrowing base, whichever is less, and (iv) the expiration date has been extended to October 2014.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Second Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by this reference.
