Winter Wildlands Alliance is pleased to welcome new outdoor stores to our growing list of Backcountry Partners. In recent months Northern Lights Trading Company in Montana, Skinny Skis in Wyoming, and Pine Needle Mountaineering in Colorado have joined our Backcountry Partners Program.
Since 1982, Montana’s Northern Lights Trading Company has been equipping people for backpacking, climbing, mountaineering, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, camping and of course backcountry and Nordic skiing. Under the ownership of Jay Allen, Northern Lights Trading Company has expanded to include Barrel Mountaineering in Bozeman and Pipestone Mountaineering in Missoula. Northern Lights Trading Company is committed to social and environmental responsibility. Visit any of these shops and join in their passion for doing it right in the outdoor world.
In Colorado, Pine Needle Mountaineering has been Durango’s premier climbing, camping, and ski-shop since 1976. Located in the heart of the San Juan Mountain Range in Colorado, their expert staff is dialed-in, and eager to provide the most up-to-date information on backcountry and Nordic skiing. Pine Needle is committed to offering customers the best service and product selection in the Four Corners, for all of their outdoor needs.
In Jackson Hole, Skinny Skis has been serving locals and visitors for over 35 years. Born out of a passion for Nordic skiing, Skinny Skis has evolved from a very small cross country ski shop to a nearly half-block long specialty outdoor store. During summer, the store offers all the latest equipment for running, training, hiking, roller skiing, mountaineering and climbing. Winters are consumed with cross country and backcountry skiing and Skinny Skis stays stocked with a full supply of winter rental and retail gear. With extensive expertise on the Jackson Hole area, the crew at Skinny Skis can help get you out to enjoy all that Jackson Hole has to offer.
The Backcountry Partners Program is about environmental and business sustainability. By becoming a Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Partner these shops are actively supporting the preservation of quality, backcountry winter recreation that their customers rely on. Together we can work to attain common goals and maintain a healthy winter backcountry industry while protecting our pristine snowscapes.
Winter Wildlands Alliance thanks Northern Lights Trading Company, Pine Needle Mountaineering, Skinny Skis, as well as our other Backcountry Partners for their support. Please express yours as well by visiting their shops. Check out all of our Backcountry Partners online at winterwildlands.org.
