About this business

Independent businesses are the heart and soul of our little mountain town. They give Durango its unique flavor and make our community anything but mainstream or generic.

A big thanks to Ben and Levi for helping my try to fix my old broken telemark binding and then going above and beyond to get me set up on gear so I could get back out on the ski hill. This place is the best kind of shop you can find!

Top notch customer service! Came in to hike and climb at Chicago Basin and forgot my crampons. I called 20 mins after they were closed and the owner Ben still picked up the phone! He arranged to have one of his employees open up an hour early the next morning so I could get the proper gear neccessary for our trip and make the 8:45 train to needleton.. Cant thank these guys enough. You truley were a lifesaver!
