Remember Jagged Edge and Life Link. A lot of good gear comes out of JH.

I heard Cloudveil was bought by Spyder a few years back. Love my RPK parka.

Yet another small "soulful" company bought by a big company.
(Not saying it is necessarily a bad thing, it just makes me a bit sad.)

Jackson Hole is hardcore.

That is too bad. I hate to see it happen. They have made some great products over the years.

Now the name is Cloudveil Mountain Peak.

Jackson Hole is hardcore.

Only if you're a tourist.

Well, I do not live in Jackson. So when I am in Jackson I am a traveler, but I am not a tourist. I have friends who live in Jackson, and they have lived there for many years. And in different ways they are hardcore. See where I am coming from?

The statement I was responding to indicated that Jackson Hole was hardcore.
I disagree.
But I don't disagree that there are a few in the hole that are hardcore. Mostly, though it's a tourist town, full of the very wealthy and the balance of people trying to eke out a living.

No offense meant to the very wealthy, those eking out a living, the travelers and tourists, or anyone else.

Peace.

After reading this thread, I had to laugh. In 77-78 I dated a medivac nurse who worked winters in Jackson, and skied there very frequently. Common thought was ANYONE who refered to Jackson as "Jackson Hole" was either a tourist or a ski-bum wannabe. :ylsmoke:

It's still the same today.

 

[AxeAngel]

Or anyone who asks who Jackson was and why its his hole?

A lot of the old timers I met there still call it jacksons.

But yup i definitely fall into the tourist category. Hardcore elsewhere isn't hardcore in wyoming.

The closing in Jackson had nothing to do with their sales in town. It was one of those corporate things....
