Jackson Hole is known for its natural beauty and world-class outdoor sports. However, there is a large population of children from low-income families who do not have access to the same opportunities as their peers. In an effort to create a healthy community where all our children thrive, Coombs Outdoors provides year-round outdoor programming for youth from Kindergarten through high school graduation.

Coombs Outdoors begins with basic instructional programs that introduce kids to a variety of activities to spark a passion for the outdoors, then adds a cohort-based mentoring component in middle school to help youth build deep relationships with their peers and trusted adults, and finally, works with high school youth to serve as mentors and coaches to younger kids, explore careers and college, and become passionate outdoor enthusiasts.

Coombs Outdoors’ goal is not to create world-class skiers or rock climbers, but to develop world-class people ready to embrace the future with confidence.

The Conservation Alliance is a group of outdoor industry companies that disburses its collective annual membership dues to grassroots environmental organizations. We direct our funding to community-based campaigns to protect threatened wild habitat and outdoor recreation.

We now have more than 200 member companies, and plan to disburse $1.8 million in 2017.

Roadhouse Brewing Co. was founded when two Jackson Hole locals united to combine their passions for garage brewing, fine dining and entrepreneurial pursuits. Their twists on traditional American and Belgian styles were an instant hit. Together we’ve collaborated on Loose Boots IPA, a citrusy, big hopped IPA that goes down easy over nachos and stories from an epic day on the slopes. A business that started in a garage just opened a state of the art brewing facility right down the street from Stio’s HQ. Productivity has gone down, but spirits are high!
