THIS IS BACKCOUNTRY
We get people who get outside—plain and simple. This is about gear, grit, and connecting people to their passions. We have deep roots in Utah, and we thrive on the trails and in the mountains surrounding Park City. Our corporate headquarters sits just north of old town Park City and within a quick pedal or a few footsteps of the Wasatch mountains. It doesn’t get much better than working at 9000ft. A road ride on twisty blacktop, a mountain bike ride on miles of IMBA gold-rated trails, or skiing lap after lap of bottomless powder in the Wasatch range are all par for the course during your lunch break.
Concerts all summer, Sundance in the winter, and some of the West's best restaurants year-round—the local color is vibrant. You won't have to travel more than a few minutes to see any of it, and if you're looking for a little more of an urban experience, Salt Lake City is only 30 minutes away.
Utah's snowfall is legendary, but high-altitude living also means that you get the colors of fall, cool mornings in the spring, and warm summer nights. For anyone who thrives in the outdoors, this is a new spin on paradise every three or four months.
Salt Lake City offers access to some of the world's best skiing and outdoor recreation—you're just minutes away from paradise. Theatre, music, dance, museums, and all the staples of sophisticated city living are right here.
A recreational mecca and green community, Christiansburg is home to Backcountry’s second distribution center. Its shipping center and satellite photo studio allow us to serve the Eastern United States with increased speed and efficiency.
Backcountry.com began in 1996 with two guys, a stack of avalanche beacons, and a garage in Park City, Utah. Our roots were humble, and we've grown since then, but our vision is still clear: to provide the best outdoor gear—and to be the best at doing it.
