This past month, the annual Alta Cirque Series put mountain runners to the ultimate test as they tackled steep elevations and grueling miles. As co-title sponsor, Backcountry was there in full force, with our Gearheads Experts enthusiastically supporting the runners.

We don’t want summer to end, so we’ve planned a few more trips to squeeze the last bits of sun before it starts to set early. When it’s time to set up camp, the Stoic Madrone 4 is our go-to tent (and not because we designed it in house). The Madrone 4 is a budget-friendly option that doesn’t lack in the features department. It even made The Inertia’s list of the best tents in 2024! ⛺
We’re all about gear, but it’s tough to test what works best when you’re sitting in a swivel chair. So, we headed to one of our local beautiful Blue Ribbon rivers for a little team bonding and gear testing! 🌅

A: I manage the sales and inventory plans for all bike categories and women's and youth softgoods (apparel).
