The Culture
The best thing about working at CLOUD PEAK EXPEDITIONS is:
The ability to share the joy of forging deep bonds with horses and mountains.
When we’re not working, we’re:
In the saddle.
What we’re reading:
Be Holding, by Ross Gay
What we’re listening to/Watching on Netflix:
Dusty Trails, by Lucius
If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:
“Pearl the Mule and her Minions”
Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:
We all deserve equal opportunity to access the healing, power, delight, joy, humility, and awe that wild spaces offer us.
Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:
The outdoor industry aligns insight into action, and engages in sustained efforts to make the outdoors a more welcoming and inclusive space for everyone to enjoy. We hope to examine the role that Cloud Peak can play in the much-needed and vital effort towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Outdoor Industry. It is our hope that as a society we will—individually and collectively—work to fundamentally restructure our current systems to prioritize justice and equity. I hope that each of us becomes ever more wakeful to the urgency and transformative possibility of this critical moment of change.
