Visiting Denver I knew we had to visit the REI Flagship store located in downtown. This huge store…read morestands next to the South Platte River where the Cherry Creek and South Platte rivers unite in beautiful Confluence Park. Such a great location. The store itself is huge and located within the restored 1901 Denver Tramway Building. This building is all brick and just stunning to walk up to and into. They offer every type of equipment one would need for their selected sport whether it's hiking, climbing, cycling, camping, paddling, skiing, snowboarding or overall fitness. They also offer the option to rent outdoor equipment, provide a full range bike shop and ski and snowboard services. The store features a 47 foot tall climbing wall right in the middle of the floor and other unique decorations. I have never been in such a huge REI store but it was a fun experience. My husband managed to spend all his saved up gift cards (Ha! Ha!) Service was friendly and helpful from the staff. REI can always be a little on the spendy side but I always try to catch their sales. I love being a member and receiving my annual rewards. Parking is the only downer as it's only free for the first hour. After that you must pay and believe me, an hour is not enough time here. So glad we had the opportunity to stop in, shop and check out this historic location.

I skipped across town for Five Points (or RiNO or whatever they call it these days) and found the…read moreBurton Flagship Store in Denver. They were doing double credits for a recycle program so I decided to take advantage of it to get rid of a snowboard and jacket that I was not a fan of. The process was quick and painless. While they were looking over my gear I browsed the shop. They had a section of super lightly used boards, in season items and everything else. They immediately emailed the gift card to me and I picked up a few items a couple weeks after that. The store is bright and airy and reminds me of a lot of mom and pop stores. Music was super faint that day and the store had that new store smell. The staff was super down to earth and friendly while making suggestions along the way. Big shoutout to Matt and Colin for taking care of me! When the riding season gets close I plan to stop by again for gear! Protip: Find a parking lot or street parking on Larimer rather than parking on Walnut or Blake St. The trek is a bit longer to the shop but hey, we all have to get our steps in! haha.

Would not recommend…read more I dropped my bike off 6 weeks ago and knew it was time for the dropper post to be rebuilt which they confirmed. I was told they'd get it rebuilt then contact me when it was ready. I didn't hear anything back and when I reached out yesterday that's the first time they tried to fix it saying they could send it off to be done locally. What were they doing the past 6 weeks?? I can't imagine relying on this place to services bike in riding season with any sense of confidence. While they blamed it on Fox for warranty issues, the first they asked about what year it was to see if it was recall eligible was yesterday, so it clearly was sitting there for 6 weeks collecting dust. Tried to keep business at a small shop, but very disappointed. Picked up my bike and will take my business elsewhere.

I recently got a board wax and my edges sharpened at Denver Bike and Ski Repair. My experience and…read morethe customer service was pleasant, and I got some good extra information on fixing two small chips with epoxy. The wax and sharpening was excellent! My board was flying down the hill the other day, and I could hear the edges really digging in to the snow. They are truly "sharp," and the shop even filled in a couple of dings on the bottom of the board. Given the work quality and price point, you can't go wrong here!

I visited Patagonia a few weeks ago. I was on a mission to get one of their black hole duffel bags…read more I do a lot of traveling so I felt that this duffel offered a lot. You will need to use street parking or a public parking lot such as I did. It's really not bad at all to park away from the location and get out for a nice walk to the store. You will pass other stores and businesses that perhaps catch your eye for shopping. After finishing up at Patagonia I went to Denver Market for an ice cold beverage. The store lay-out for Patagonia isn't bad. It's clean and organized. Staff aren't so helpful. There were two staff members at the front register. Why one of them couldn't be on the main floor helping customers is a mystery. When going to check out at the register one of them pretty much ignored me then caught herself moments later. Management: please improve customer relations. Don't make interactions so transactional. I walked away with what I wanted but probably should have just used another retailer or distributor to get it. I'm in no hurry to return to this location.

She helps us to the "classic" backpack, which is rated at 20 liters. They had a wide selection of this particular backpack, with several on sale. We purchased the two of the classic backpacks, each with a different color scheme. In addition to that backpack, they have many others, shorts, shirts, etc. An amazing outdoor store, and provided us with great value. We're looking forward to coming back !
