Marmot is an outdoor clothing and sporting goods company founded in 1974 as Marmot Mountain Works. The company was founded in Grand Junction, Colorado by local resident Tom Boyce and two University of California, Santa Cruz students, David Huntley and Eric Reynolds, who shared the common goal of making their own mountaineering equipment.
Not surprisingly, there is a species of marmot that is of endangered status here in North America. It is the Vancouver Island Marmot of British Columbia. A population of about 300 individuals in the mid 1980âs has dwindled to about 100 currently.
