Disagree. I'm not saying it justifies anything, I'm saying it's reality and the outcome will only be positive for BC.com, and maybe Marquette Backcountry skis, maybe not. That's the price we pay for not confronting the current system of unbridled capitalism and wealth consolidation. I think divestment is the only real choice we have, and if you disagree with the tactics of BC don't shop there, great. What I think is hilarious is the mobilization of the generally well-off sporty set who's lifestyle is ultimately responsible for WAY more then their share of legit malady in the world.

This may have been mentioned already, but Bishop is pulling their products from Backcountry. Awesome.

Stoked to see that on their facebook page today...great to see someone taking action even if they are a small company. One step at a time...I already know of at least one more but it's not public knowledge yet but we will all know about it soon enough. All I can say is support the smaller local companies...they are the core users like us who love to not only make killer gear but also use it.
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Most of these boycotts sort of fizzle over time, but it’s going to really hurt BC to have this happen right as holiday shopping ramps up

so where's the mountain goat with the red slash thru it stickers?
Someone "knows a guy", they'll sell like hotcakes, and wind up showing up in "high visibility" locations like the Slowbird stickers did last year.....Last edited by SJG; 11-06-2019 at 05:20 PM.

Not really an apology to me. I'll continue to speak with where I spend my money, the damage to these small companies has been done.
This whole thing has been eye opening to me about how trademarks and corporate America functions. Its kind of disgusting.

We understand that this step we’ve taken may not be enough for some of you.
There are others who have suffered substantial expenses because of your douchegoatery.

So they dropped the one lawsuit against the marquette ski guy.
What about all the others they're currently harassing.
What about all the others that already folded and acceded to their threats and bullying?

Really Backcountry.com??
Has anyone trade marked the name “slack country”?
For the record, I’ll never buy anything again from BC and I will toss in $50 to the go fund me defense to sue these private equity pencil necks.

Amazing how fast they’ve managed to burn up all their credibility and goodwill pursuing something that would have gained them nothing to begin with.
People vote with their wallets by spending with someone they trust/identify with."I'm looking pretty good, don't you think?" - the other says "watching you ski is like watching a retarded monkey rollerblade on a gravel road"
