What Steep & Cheap is known for
Flash-sale outdoor-gear site launched in 2006 by Jim Holland, who a decade earlier co-founded Backcountry.com with John Bresee from a Park City, Utah garage. Operates as Backcountry's limited-time, limited-quantity discount arm for outdoor gear and apparel.
Steep and Cheap is the flash-sale outdoor-gear site run by Backcountry.com, launched in 2006 by Jim Holland - a decade after Holland and John Bresee had founded Backcountry itself in 1996, reportedly starting with a small stock of avalanche gear sold out of a garage in Park City, Utah. Rather than a conventional storefront, Steep and Cheap operates as a rolling series of time-limited, quantity-limited discount listings, cycling through closeout and off-season outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment. It sits alongside sister sites such as Whiskey Militia under the wider Backcountry.com umbrella, headquartered in Park City.
