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 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.
