I was really excited to purchase a merino wool pullover from East Slope Outfitters in Big Sky Town…read moreCenter. It was performing well, so I went back the next day and purchased a second one. Unfortunately, the first pullover started developing pulls almost immediately. One particularly long pull in the front snagged on something as minor as my cuticle--something that shouldn't even be possible. I also noticed additional pulls on the back, even though I had been careful with it. When I went into the store to discuss the issue, an employee was empathetic and directed me to the manager. However, the manager--a brunette helping a customer with ski goggles--was completely dismissive. When I explained the situation, she responded with, "Oh, it must have pulled on something." I acknowledged that it caught on my nail, but I was shocked that such an expensive pullover would be so fragile. Rather than offering any assistance or even engaging in a conversation about product quality, she quickly shut it down, saying they couldn't do anything since I had already had it for a few days. For a store selling high-end outdoor gear, I expected better durability and customer support. Spending around $130, I at least hoped for a discussion about quality assurance or a possible exchange. Instead, I was met with indifference. It felt like they cater more to tourists passing through than to customers who actually care about their purchases. If you're looking for durable gear from a store that stands behind its products, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Best ski shop I've ever been to. My snowboard had a gash in the sidewall and a broken edge. They…read moretold me they couldn't guarantee a repair would hold (I appreciated the honesty), but they were willing to try, and for a very fair price. When I picked up the board, they had not only performed the previously discussed repairs, but they also did a bunch of p-tex work on the base and a wax, and still charged me the previously agreed upon price. I'll definitely be back here next time I need tuning work done.

Mountain Maven is my favorite Big Sky women's boutique, hands down! They have the most up-to-date…read morestyles and everything is very reasonably priced, especially for a resort town. The owner has done a FANTASTIC job at bringing in styles that are wearable instead of just novelty western pieces, which is what is most often found in these types of towns. While she does throw her own little bit of western flair in there, the store is very modern. There are great yoga pieces, work appropriate pieces, and a great spread of other fashionable items. This is sure to be one of the most popular shopping spots in Big Sky.

While visiting family in Big Sky I had the opportunity to shop at maven! Coming from Washington DC…read moreI am used to having a variety of clothes, brands and styles at my fingertips. Maven shocked me with their variety of clothing, jewelry and shoes that can not seem to be found anywhere else! With help from the pretty blonde girl and store owner I left with 2 new clothing pieces and a ring that I can't wait to bring back to the city! Thank you girls!!

An unforgettable morning with Calvin at Wild Trout Outfitters!…read more What an amazing 4 hours of fly fishing in Big Sky with this cool and incredibly talented guide. Calvin made the whole experience fun, relaxing, and educational -- we caught multiple fish, learned a ton, and had great conversation along the way. His easygoing personality and deep knowledge of the water made it such a perfect day. I can't recommend Wild Trout Outfitters enough, especially Calvin. We can't wait to come back -- hopefully next time we'll be even better anglers! Thank you again for an awesome experience!

Our group had a wonderful experience- had 12 people - owner did a great job dividing everyone up…read moreand selecting guides. We had 6 kids - ranging from 5-12 years old. Ended up pairing 1 kid + 1 adult + 1 guide. The guides were patient and fun with them all. They adjusted the teaching based on skill level and age. Our expectations were low (because fishing is fickle), but everyone had success catching multiple fish - even the littles! Taryn and Jake were my immediate family's guides and they were amazingly knowledgeable about the area / how to fish it, silly with the kids, and easy to talk to. We really appreciated the experience - it was one of our favorite activities during our Big Sky visit. Thanks again! FYI if you have kids under 10 you'll want to bring your own waders for them - easy to buy on Amazon!

Like this guide taught my youngest how to fly fish when he was little. We originally was going to go with Wild Trout Outfitters a few doors down but they were so rude that we left. We are so thankful we did. The staff is great, we love the guides, even the lunch they get is delicious. We cannot say enough about Gallatin River Guides! If you are looking for fishing, look no further!

This is a great high-end knife shop, appropriate for Big Sky, that sells knives handmade in Idaho…read more While my teenage son and I were looking, we were offered to throw some axes which we did. In addition to the ax, throwing and high-end knives, they carry moderately priced, mass-produced knives as well. I would say that one of the best things about the shop, however are the fine Swedish axes, the custom, American forged axes, the various buffalo robe, mountain man, and other high-end versions of rustic and traditional western clothing and items. They even have high-end, new, cast iron. if you have never held a multi thousand dollar knife, or felt a knife so sharp that a slight touch will sever an artery, this place is for you.

Stopped here at the base of Big Sky to grab some goodies prior to the trip back home…read more I was happy to see they had something for everyone! Mugs, toys, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, trinkets, you name it, they have it! I ended up purchasing a softer than ever t shirt from the clearance rack for $25. I'm super stoked about it! For my son, I got some adorable pajamas (see picture). The bear did not come from this shop, however. But they did have bears! I also got a wooden box for my mother. She loves those things. Always requests them when I travel. I am very happy with my purchases and I would definitely come here again. The shop is located inside a building near the village base camp and right next to the sports shop!
