Announcing Outside's 2011 Best Places to Work
Buy the September Issue—on Newsstands Soon
Well, a few of them, anyway—just to start off with. As part of Outdoor Retailer, taking place right now in Salt Lake City, we’re handing out certificates to the companies that made our list and are attending the convention. The remaining companies on our 50 Best Places to Work list will be unveiled in our September issue, which hits newsstands August 16th. To all the winners, congratulations. We had more applicants this year than ever. To readers, start updating your résumé. We’ve never been more inspired by companies's commitment to offer their employees a healthy work/life balance: floating “Powder Days,” Beer Cart Fridays, a 72,000-square-foot fitness center (and cash rewards for working out in it), six-month sabbaticals, and company-paid trip to the Olympics. Seriously.
So, without further ado, here are eleven of Outside’s top fifty companies to work for in America. Congratulations again!

If you are in the corner and have no money to go out from that point, you will have to receive the loan. Because that will aid you definitely. I get bank loan every time I need and feel good just because of it.
Flag ThisI'm hoping that NOLS makes this list! Looks good so far.
Flag ThisThe problem w Outside's list is that there's only room for big-ish companies on it. Thank god for comments, eh? In a completely-genuine-and-not-at-all-shameless-plug kind of way, I'd like to put my employer on the list, http://weldtheweb.com (we're at OR, as well). I get to write and create for companies that bury themselves in adventure, adrenaline, and wild places. I've done river trips, ski excursions, and bike rides with everyone I work with (almost; we're growing), and it's the best job I've ever had. I'm sure there's a lot to be said for working for a bigger company, but I'd love it the comments filled up with shout outs to smaller, equally-awesome places where people love to work.
Flag This@Jon I worked for NOLS. Nice addition.
Flag This@ Ben Curnett Hey Ben if you do some research and check out the 2010 best places to work list the company I work for made #25. Wilderness Adventure At Eagle Landing. we have around 30 employees. pretty small if you ask me. and our average salary is around 20,000.
Flag ThisI took 1 st business loans when I was very young and that helped my family a lot. Nevertheless, I require the secured loan as well.
