We are following the Governor’s orders and staying closed during this time. When we open back up it will be time for Spring gear and unlikely that your Winter gear will sell then. Here’s the plan for how to pick it up now…
CHECK ON IT: If you haven’t checked in on your gear yet, maybe it sold?! Use the consignor login from our website. Your email address serves as BOTH the username and password. IF your gear sold, it will show the balance we owe you. Please note: it does not show a complete list of what is for sale, ONLY what has sold.
DONATE OR COLLECT: Do you want your unsold gear back? No problem! We can collect it for you before you arrive and have it ready to go. Want to donate? Great! We can take care of that for you but please let us know that is what you prefer. THIS is only in regards to gear that is “expiring” during the COVID-19 related closure. Otherwise, we will follow our contract per the usual.
CONTACT US: Please contact Bryce via phone or email to let him know what you would like done with your Winter gear. IF you would like it returned to you, please schedule a date and time for pick up.
PICK UP: When you come to pick up your gear, simply call the shop and we will bring it outside to you.
If your gear was set to “expire” during our closure, we will keep it on the shelves through the end of May. However, if you’d come pick it up before then, we would greatly appreciate it. Bring on the warmer weather!

When the days get longer and the snowpack stabilizes, many skiers turn their attention to climbing bigger peaks and skiing bigger lines. While weather, snowpack, and daylight often conspire to limit big mountain activities through the winter, spring’s longer and warmer days help give skiers a better chance at getting high in the mountains and ticking off some more impressive lines.
The mighty San Juan Mountains fill your windshield every time you turn north on Main. These fearsome, jagged peaks have some of the best and most accessible backcountry in America. That said, if you are a beginner backcountry skier or are new to the area, it may not always be obvious where to go. This guide gives you a quick overview on mostly gentle, mostly safe places to backcountry ski in theDurango area.
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.
