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. At Backcountry Experience we've embraced those qualities that set us apart from the big box outdoor retailers. From the squeaky wooden floors to the way our staff treats everyone like family, we believe that the experience of exploring an "old school" gear store is (almost) as much fun as playing outside.

Go see Ben for ski boot fitting, he is clearly very experienced and takes the time to get it right. As a physical therapist, I can appreciate his understanding of the biomechanics and anatomy of the foot and ankle, and how he takes that into consideration when finding the perfect boot/liner/footbed fit. I've spent most of the season with unhappy feet and Ben fixed that for me first try. Excellent patience, knowledge, and overall customer service. Thank you!!

Knowledgeable & Helpful Staff! Helped me with my Split-Board setup and found a replacement snap-on/buckle for my Odyssey backpack.

By far the best backpacking equipment store in the state. Reminds me of the backpacking stores of the 70s: knowledgeable and passionate staff, attention to detail and patience in matching person and product. Great job!

This is the place to get your gear if you get after it and use your gear hard. They know what they are talking about and carry the equipment that actually works, not just looks good. I've shopped here for years and they are honest and will treat you right.
