Patagonia dumps Jackson Hole ski resort after far-right fundraiser

[TexasTowelie]

Patagonia, the iconic sportswear company that’s built a worldwide reputation on outdoor athleticism and environmental activism, will no longer supply Jackson Hole Mountain Resort with its products after a resort owner hosted a fundraiser for the right-wing House Freedom Caucus.

Patagonia confirmed Tuesday that it would no longer sell to the resort, its largest single customer in the Jackson Hole area. The resort company operates retail stores in Teton Village at the base of the ski area, as well as Hoback Sports and the Jackson Hole Resort Store in nearby Jackson.

The move came after Jay Kemmerer, one of the resort’s owners, co-hosted a fundraiser Aug. 5, 2021, at a posh Jackson hotel for the House Freedom Caucus. U.S. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) headlined the event. Admission to the event cost a minimum of $2,000 per couple.

The three have parroted the former president’s false claims of election fraud and been panned by conservation groups for their environmental records. Patagonia and the caucus also diverge on social priorities like voting rights and advocacy for minorities and disadvantaged groups, according to widely reported public positions.

1. I'll have to take another look at Patagonia

I’d never purchased their products, thinking they were too expensive. They now have ‘conscientious equity’ in my eyes.

[Delphinus]

4. Agreed.

I like your term, 'conscientious equity' - that's a great term and I will remember it for other companies.

5. I'm kinda proud of myself for that one

I’d never heard it either. I just came up with it on the fly.

2. They give 1% to the planet

Walmart has asked them how to reduce waste from packaging and other less harmful business practices.

Patagonia is expensive. But thay truly walk the talk.

3. WE shop at Penzey Spices. They are political and they put the money where their mouth is.

Their products are great. For the last few years, my wife has bought the majority of our birthday, anniversaries, Christmas, and another occasion for gifts from Penzey.

Here is just one example of their politics:

closed now. Thank goodness for mail order.

7. I agree Air Force Vet!

Penzeys is a great company! And love their spices. I have two locations in my St Louis area and frequent them quite a bit.

I love companies that talk the walk and walk the talk!

10. Good.

Patagonia has been a leader in putting their power where their mouth is, so to speak. I wear lots of their products because I live in a place where their winter wear products are appropriate for the weather here.

12. The company's owners actually purchased a huge part of Patagonia

to create a nature preserve in Argentina.
