About Us

We're a locally owned and operated outdoor gear, equipment, clothing, and accessories retailer in Buena Vista, Colorado since 1972.  AND NOW…. We have opened our second location in the heart of downtown Winter Park!  

Our purpose is to help create opportunities for people to get out and play in some pretty amazing parts of the Colorado Rockies.  We love what we do and are excited to connect with you. Let us know what you like to do or how we can help provide some fun activities or adventures while you’re here in BV or Winter Park!

So swing by and say hello.  In Denver or around the Winter Park area?? We’d love to show you around the new shop.  Whether we see you in BV or Winter Park- we can’t wait to say hi, help you find some fun things to do, or get you set up with some new gear.
