History of Backcountry.com

Backcountry.com is a local Utah company that has experienced meteoric growth and acolades from the likes of PC Magazine, Internet Retailer, Inc Magazine and the Inc. 500, and Forbes.  Since I’m now a Utah resident (moved here 13 months ago), I’m very happy to see local companies as successful as Backcountry.com. 

To help me learn more about the company, I checked out their site and noticed a historical timeline.  I quickly took that data and Ajaxified it.  Below is my version of the timeline they present, in a funner format. 

Congratulations and much success to Backcountry.com.  Check them out and buy something from them; I’m certainly going to support good local companies, like Backcountry.com.
