Backcountry History
© Backcountry.com
Backcountry.com was founded in 1996 by John Bresee & Jim Holland (a former American Olympic Ski Jumper). The two started the ecommerce retail store with a limited collection of avalanche gear and began selling from their garage in Park City, Utah under the domain names BCstore.com and BackcountryStore.com. Their first sale, a Pieps 457 Opti-finder avalanche beacon, was in 1997. The company purchased the domain name backcountry.com for $75,000 USD in 2004. Backcountry.com quickly became one of the few profitable outdoor recreation retailers and competed with REI in this category.
