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!
When it comes to outdoor sports, a quality jacket can make all the difference between comfort and misery. Whether you’re hiking, skiing, climbing, running, climbing, or simply out and about nature, a jacket serves as your first line of defense against the elements.
That said, there are a LOT of jackets out there, in different styles, materials, weights, and weather proofness. How do you know which is best for you? We put together this guide to help you sort out what jacket you need and when you should whip it out.
Keep in mind that these jackets can be ridiculously expensive, and buying a ski jacket, rain jacket, puffy, light puffy, and a wind jacket new can easily mean you run up a tab of $2,000 or more. What’s the solution? Qualityused gear in Durango from Durango Outdoor Exchange.
It’s snowy and cold, but you want to get out. Downhill skiing is too expensive and backcountry skiing is too difficult. What’s a happy medium? Snowshoeing.
Think of snowshoeing as hiking in the snow, but you can traipse across deep snow and go where there are no trails. You only need basic equipment to get started and it you have ever skied then you probably have most of it already. Here’s a primer on where to go and what to bring. Oh, and when it comes to gear, save money buy buying used gear in Durango from Durango Outdoor Exchange.
Maybe you’ve seen other telemarkers carving beautiful turns on the mountain, maybe you are looking for a new challenge, or maybe you want to really work those quads–either way, getting into telemarking is fun and challenging.
Telemark skiing is a blend of Nordic and alpine skiing that combines the grace of cross-country with the thrill of downhill turns. Central to this style is the telemark binding, which allows the heel to lift, enabling a skier to lunge gracefully through turns.
Ready to pick up some telemark gear? Here’s some great news: Unlike downhill bindings, telemark bindings don’t get put on indemnified lists, meaning there is no set age at which they cannot be mounted. This meansbuying used telemark gear can be a great deal.
