One of the best parts of owning this business has been meeting new people and fostering relationships with customers and consignors. We are grateful to have met the Rider family in the very first few months of opening the doors. They have been incredibly supportive and a joy to see in the shop ever since...
"When we moved from Carbondale, CO 12 years ago, I couldn’t believe that a town this size, with so many outdoor opportunities, did not have an outdoor consignment shop. Little did we know that a guy who grew up just up the road from Carbondale would soon open a shop that would fill that gap in Durango. As our kids grew into and out of ski clothes, sandals, jackets (and everything else really), it has been perfect to have Chase and Jen’s shop to move them up to the next size. I can’t, admittedly, say it has just been good for the kids. My wife Jen and I have benefited from the great selection of clothes and gear at the shop and it has been an amazing place to practice “out with the old, in with the new”…well, new to us anyway. Chase, Jen, and the entire staff are so easy to work with, they’ve really created a great atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed."

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.
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.
