Your Cart is Empty
Join us in celebrating 6 years of business during our store-wide sale on September 4th and 5th!
We still get excited when we see our stickers on cars around town. We reminisce about the first weeks of being open, when car loads of Fort Lewis College students would visit and spend hours scouring the shop for deals and truckloads of used gear would get dropped off at one time...as if it had been waiting for this moment.
The gratefulness and excitement that fueled our passion and persistence in the beginning, guides us still today. We cannot believe we've been fortunate enough to get to operate and grow this fun, meaningful, values driven business for six years!
Thank you to everyone who has shopped with us, consigned with us or even just mentioned us to a friend. Your support is the reason we are here. Your love for giving gear a second life and getting outside is why we do what we do.
This Friday and Saturday, celebrate with us, enjoy a sweet deal and share a story. We are thankful for you everyday!
Look–we can’t deny that huge ski areas are popular for a reason. Mega ski resorts often have the most terrain, the newest lifts, the snazziest shuttles, the most interesting base villages, and the best dining and aprés options. They can also (sometimes) have the best snow.
But big ski areas can also be a big pain in the rear. Crowds, traffic, lift lines, parking hassles, wild hotel and meal prices, and jaw-dropping lift ticket rack rates can all conspire to make skiing seem a LOT less fun than it should be.
Winter snow may still cover the high country for another six months or more, but it’s never too early to learn about what’s new in mountain bike tech for 2025.

Not up for a new bike? Come spring,Durango Outdoor Exchange will have plenty ofused bikes to choose from–we just may have the perfect project bike for some of the tech you see listed below.
One of the main ways to determine running shoe type is by looking at sole thickness. The sole is what cushions and stabilizes you, and how much of it your shoes have goes a long way to predicting how comfortable the shoes will be.
But, more sole does not always equate to a better shoe, and the reason behind this is guided in part by what kind of runner you are.
With so many shoes offering varying levels of sole thickness, how do you know what’s best for you? Let’s look at the importance of sole thickness, how it impacts your running performance, and what to look for when choosingrunning shoes in Durango.
