This list is great to know. Sierra Trading post needs added as well as every major power company in the US. They are all owned by warren buffet who gives a ton of money to the bunny thumpers

I contacted Coors they assured me they do not support closures or the limiting of motorized sports
They said they know the importance of us all having the right to enjoy our own style of recreation makes me happy i didnt want to change beer brands again ![]() |

Weird to see smith optics on there, granted they are in the sun valley/granola muncher area, but I see lots of their products geared towards sledders and dirt bikers.
May have to write a letter or 2. |

I view it as brillant! not happy about but still. They are using our own money against us. Think about how much more money sledders spend on gear than tree huggers. Bet you a dollar to a doughnut they take more in from sledders than the other groups.

i think 90% of thesae companies just give to the cause to get the huggers off their arses!!!!!!!!! i'm sure some truely are against motorized use and would like the backcountry shut down, but most are just giving for the PR to say they are trying to help, when in reality they don't really care. guess our crowd just needs to get more vocal and demanding so we can get some money to!!!!!

I work for the first company on the list. Kinda funny, cuz they are being sued by the state of MN for poluting the water here in town for waste dumped per city and state regulations in the 60's and 70's.
Most of the people here are involved in motor-sports as well. Heck, they even have a car in NASCAR. Not that car racing has anything to do with sledding.

The following was posted recently on Snowest and I thought it applies well to this conversation: This is John from Klim. I just wanted to throw a couple of things out there. First, Gore does not contribute to the Sierra Club. On a personal level the guys at Gore are outdoor enthusiast just like us. I’ve ridden both snowmobiles and motorcycles with them. Our account rep that lives in Seattle is a Land Cruiser junky. He’s built a Land Cruiser from the ground up and likes to take it out and go 4x4. On a business level Gore would never alienate their own customers. Yes, there are people that ski that use Gore-Tex, but that does not mean Gore is for shutting access. Instead of promoting the closure of public land to motorized access, Gore has helped out in the snowmobile market more than all of the other fabric companies combined. Here is an example. This year, Gore-Tex and Klim teamed up to offer five $1000 grants to five different snowmobile clubs across the US this winter. Any club was eligible that was a member of a State Snowmobile Association. Clubs had to attend a snow show in their area and present a simple plan at the Klim booth outlining what good they would do with the grant. The winners were chosen based on the validity and effectiveness of the plans submitted and the grant was given out on the spot (at the show). The purpose of the Grant was to: #1: drive traffic to the shows, this helped the entire industry. #2: The grant was only given to clubs that were members of a state snowmobile association in an effort to help the state associations and ACSA maintain a population of active clubs—the people making the difference. #3: To benefit clubs and their programs directly, which Klim and Gore feels is the backbone of the industry. One grant was given away in Washington State to the State’s first snowmobile club; The Yakima Ski Benders. The money went to help subsidized lost DNR funds to keep parking areas plowed and trails groomed from “Wenachee to our own Ahtanum State Forest.” Another club in Utah; the Skyline Snow Riders, was able to get the State of Utah to match the Gore-Tex grant so they walked away with $2000 to directly benefit the future of their riding areas. As a business in the snowmobile market we are trying to do all we can to help fight the ridiculous land grab. Klim partners with pro-access groups (such as The Blue Ribbon Coalition) and works hard for year-round access to our public lands. We would not purposely work with someone that would take us backwards. Gore has been a great partner over the years and we feel they are in a pivotal position to help us communicate with their other customers in the non-motorized world. Through this communication, we can all get to the table and discuss why nobody can be the selfish child in the sandbox—we all have the right to play. |
