2010 Backcountry.com Code

Hi Everyone,

This is 123ski.  My name has been changed to skijosh, so that you are all aware, not because of this issue, but for different reasons all together.

I have been getting a ton of messages every day because of some new issues with the 2010 Backcountry.com discount code.  I figured it would be easier to post the thread here for everyone that was wondering what is going on.  Basically, you may have noticed that the code used to work on specific items, but has now changed and does not work on those items anymore.

Our vendors have told us that we cannot discount their gear anymore.  If we don't do what they say, they won't let us sell their gear anymore. We thought that we were in compliance with all of their rules, but the codes were not working correctly and they were giving discounts on almost everything.  When we figured it out, we had to hurry and make it right by fixing all of the codes and making new code restrictions.

In all honesty I know that you think this totally sucks, and I agree with you, but at this point we don't have a lot of options, but to comply with our vendors requests.  Here is a new list of all the stuff that cannot be discounted at this point in time.  I will make the items BOLD if they are somewhat ski related.

Brand Restrictions:

    * Aire Inflatables
    * Anon
    * Arc'teryx
    * Billabong
    * Black Diamond
    * Burton
    * Element
    * Fox Racing
    * Marmot
    * Merrell
    * Mountain Hardwear
    * Nixon
    * Oakley
    * Patagonia
    * Red
    * Scarpa
    * Sidi Footwear
    * The North Face
    * Volcom
    * Western Mountaineering
    * 686

Now, most of the brands listed above were already on the list of restricted brands in the past.  But, there are some new product categories that cannot be discounted for the same reasons listed above.

SKIING MERCHANDISE (Bindings, Poles, Brakes, Skis, Skins, Gear Sleds, Saws & Axes, Boots, Beacons, Avalanche Gear, Shovels, Probes)

SNOWBOARDING MERCHANDISE (Snowboards, Longboards, Bindings, Boots, Approach Skis, Snow Skates, Beacons, Avalanche Gear, Shovels, Probes)

KAYAKING MERCHANDISE (Kayaks, Rafts, Raft Frames)
 
I know that this seems like a huge restriction, but I encourage you to continue sending me private messages for the discount code if you don't have it already.  Why?  You may think that the list above is huge, but remember, we still have everything you need for your skiing adventures, including clothing, gloves, goggles, helmets, camping equipment, hiking gear, etc. 

Remember, you can get the discount code by sending me a private message (skijosh) and asking for the code.   I will send you the code within a few days of you sending me a message.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them and I will get you an official response.  I am sorry for any confusion and trouble with this code, but I hope that it can continue to offer you as much gear as possible at a discounted price!

Thanks,

skijosh
