Item 1.01.    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 4, 2009, Sport Chalet, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") entered into a Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment") dated as of May 4, 2009 with Bank of America, N.A. (the "Bank") as agent for the lenders under that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, dated as of June 20, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, up to an additional $10.0 million will be available to the Company through a special advance facility.  The amount available under the special advance facility will be reduced by $2.5 million on the first day of each month commencing on July 1, 2010 and the special advance facility will terminate on October 1, 2010.  This effectively increases the revolver limit to $55 million from January 1st of each year until August 31st and also allows for seasonal advances up to $75.0 million from September 1st to December 31st., subject to the scheduled reductions.

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