This coming April marks our 4th summer offering Colorado Paddle Boards. The company is owned by Nico and Laurel Foster who currently live in Silverton, CO with their two kiddos. In true Foster fashion, here is a bit about how they started:
“Ever look around at your life and wonder just how things got to be the way they are? Sometimes we catch ourselves thinking that at Colorado Paddle Boards. We didn’t intend to be providing paddle boards for the people when we set out to build our first board. We just wanted a board for our family and thought it would be cool to paint the Colorado Flag on it. A lot of encouragement from our Durango community got us into business and the rest, as they say, is history.”
The Colorado Paddle Boards come in a variety of three sizes and three different color options so you can get exactly what you are looking for. Each purchase comes with everything you need to get onto the water that same day: board, paddle, pump, fin, repair kit and backpack style carrying bag. The Classic and the Scout offer all this for the smoking deal price of just $799. For the quality, style and good feelings you get from shopping local, Colorado Paddle Board is an easy choice for your summer adventures!

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.
