We can barely believe it ourselves. We are less than two month away from moving into our forever home! With plenty of work to still be done, we are optimistically shooting to be open in the new location April 12th. We will be closing the current College Drive shop on April 7th, packing and moving with ferocious excitement in order to open up again in just 5 days.
Remodeling the old Pizza Hut building has been a new kind of adventure for our team. It’s beginning to take on a new energy, a life of it’s own and starting to resemble exactly what we have always imagined it could be. Thank you to Agave (the contractors on the project) for helping us see the building potential and for working with us each step of the way. You are true professionals and understand your clients needs.
We hope you’ll join us the first weekend of April to check out the new digs!
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.
