The powerhouse outdoor gear retailer Patagonia confirmed Wednesday that it will no longer supply its products to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The move comes after one of the owners of the resort, Jay Kemmerer, co-hosted a fundraiser that welcomed controversial far-right politicians including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia to Jackson earlier this month.

To learn more, KHOL News Director Kyle Mackie spoke to WyoFile reporter Angus Thuermer, who broke the story this week with his article, “Patagonia dumps Jackson Hole ski resort after far-right fundraiser.”
