So, yeah, you want to give us just kind of the quick and dirty origin story of Backcountry and Competitive?
4:56
Yeah, absolutely.
4:57
So definitely two different origin stories.
5:00
So we can start with Backcountry, founded here in Heber, Utah, by a gentleman, Jim Holland.
5:07
And They were pioneering selling backcountry gear online.
5:14
I know their first sale was an Avalanche Beacon, and that slowly turned into the business that they have today, which I would say is one of the largest e-commerce outdoor players that goes well beyond just backcountry skiing.
5:28
Competitive Cyclists started in Little Rock, Arkansas.
