Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Adoption of Employee Incentive Plan

On March 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Sport Chalet, Inc. (the "Company") approved for fiscal year 2013 an employee incentive plan (the "2013 Incentive Plan") for all eligible employees, including executive officers. The terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan are the same as the terms of the employee incentive plans for fiscal 2011 and 2012.


No amount is payable under the 2013 Incentive Plan with respect to any fiscal quarter unless the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for that quarter exceeds the EBITDA amount set forth in the Company's operating budget.  One-half of any amount by which the Company's EBITDA for the year-to-date period ending with the most recent quarter exceeds the EBITDA set forth in the budget would be paid to eligible employees in proportion to their base salaries for the quarter.  Only employees who are employed both before the beginning of the quarter and at the time of payment would be eligible to receive a bonus payment with respect to a quarter.  The Board of Directors retains the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the aggregate amount payable under the 2013 Incentive Plan with respect to any quarter, notwithstanding the fact that the conditions for payment have been met, or otherwise to modify the 2013 Incentive Plan.


Adoption of Employee Bonus Plan


On March 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee approved for fiscal year 2013 an employee bonus plan (the "2013 Bonus Plan") for all salaried employees, including executive officers. Under the 2013 Bonus Plan, each eligible employee can earn a bonus equal to a percentage of his or her salary, if the Company's net income for fiscal 2013 exceeds a specified amount. For Craig Levra, the Chief Executive Officer, the percentage of base salary, will range between 70% and 160% of base salary, and for each other executive officer will range between 40% and 60% of base salary. The percentage will be determined within this range based upon the employee's performance evaluation. The Compensation Committee retains the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce any award under the 2013 Bonus Plan, notwithstanding the fact that the conditions for payment have been met, or otherwise to modify the 2013 Bonus Plan. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve the net income objective.
