    East Slope Outdoors - Unsightly pull on front of pullover

    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.

    My husband and I went to the Helena Basecamp today to look at some Lems shoes. Upon arriving in the…read morefootwear department, we were immediately greeted by Victoria. It is clear that Victoria truly loves helping people find footwear that matches their goals. I discussed what I was looking for, and Victoria took that information and turned it into a shoe-finding spree! She brought out at least four pairs for me to try. She even brought out some shoes that she thought I might like based on what we talked about. My husband started talking to her, and wouldn't you know it, Victoria brought out some shoes for him, too. She never made us feel rushed or like she was trying to get us out the door. She even helped several other people while we were trying on our shoes, and all of them left with smiles on their faces. The Basecamp is so lucky to have Victoria as a stellar employee. We, as consumers, are even luckier to benefit from her extensive knowledge about footwear. We will definitely return to the Helena Basecamp for any future footwear needs. The world needs more Victorias! If you get a chance, go buy some footwear from Victoria at the Basecamp in Helena, Montana.

With wildfire smoke already making it hard on the system, extremely scented items are a no go for me. My family is in a camping road trip and would have likely spent $, but it turned us away. Seems silly to be an outdoor store but have synthetic scents filling the space.

    Over the last 7 years, Sunrise Fly Shop has taken me and two sons from newbies to casting for…read morebonefish in the Carribean Sea. Eric, Ryan and his entire staff are both excellent instructors and know the Bighole & Beaverhead like the back of their hand. As I now fish over 30 days a year and have experienced numerous guides and outfitters in those outings, Sunrise Fly Shop is who I measure those shops & trips against. And throughout those trips, there is only one other shop (located in Washington state) which rises to the level of customer service and expertise that Sunrise provides. If you want someone to introduce you to flyfishing...they are gentle and patient. If you want numbers...don't be surprised if you need to ice your arm after the trip. We have had days with 40+ in the net. If you want to hunt a 20"/4+ lb. brown trout, they know the secret spots and tactics to make that possible. We've had days where a fish under 20" was "meh." If you want someone to simply break down your faults and get you to be a better caster, they are great instructors adapting their coaching to your coachability. Their diverse staff and excellent skills will put you in the right boat, with the right guide on the right water to make your trip successful and memorable. We've pulled out 25" brown troat from water that looks like a chocolate milkshake and is running at 6x the rivers normal speed. We have slain 20" trout on the Beaverhead in late October when the river is barely moving. We've had amazing days when you have to remove ice from the put in. While the summer days are always special on western rivers, don't discount the fun and success you can have on the shoulder seasons when guided by Sunrise Fly Shop. It's called fishing, not catching, and on those slow days, the staff keeps a positive & hopeful attitude while aggressively trying tactics you didn't know existed to make your day on the water as fun, pleasant and successful as possible. Sunrise is located on some of the most beautiful water in SW Montana and I'd put the Bighole, when guided by Sunrise, as the apex fishery for big browns. If you haven't fished the Bighole, you owe it to yourself to visit! And Sunrise Fly Shop is the team to use to make that investment of time, travel & money produce the highest yield.

    Booked two days with guides through Sunrise. The staff was very friendly, helpful and…read moreknowledgeable. We floated the Big Hole with Rick "the professor". He was a pro and knew all the holes. Unfortunately, we arrived at the same time as a big heat wave. Water temperatures reached 73 degrees so the trout went into hiding but we had some fun catching whitefish. The next day we fished the Beaverhead with Mika and had a great time. We caught a bunch of browns between 16-21". He knows the river like the back of his hand and predicted where we would find fish. He also gave us a couple good recommendations for spots to fish on our own the next day that helped us get more browns. He's the best guide I've worked with and I will use him again on return trips. My only reason not giving 5 stars is because I wish the shop would have let us know the impact the heat was going to have on the Big Hole and recommended another river. But we still had a great time.
