This is the saddest REI on the planet. The store has been gutted of its floor inventory leaving a…read morepoor selection of items for sale. We asked a salesperson if they were going out of business because the store now resembles a Kmart on its last legs (she said no). My wife tried to buy some hiking shoes while we were there - eventually the salesperson (who tried to give good service) said "I can't help you anymore." We left empty handed and went to Scheels where the variety, service and prices were excellent (we immediately got what we needed). REI has become a victim of bean-counting business wonks who don't care about the outdoor community. Two can play this game: Cancel my loyalty points: I'll look my outdoor gear elsewhere.

Just around the corner from REI, International Mountain Equipment is a locally owned and operated business and worth your time and your support. The staff members are experienced experts and have always been helpful and friendly. In addition to an extensive inventory of new gear, they offer consignment for used equipment. We recently stopped at IME to purchase a new pair of climbing shoes for my 5-year-old son. As you know, kids grow fast, and my son had outgrown his previous Evolv climbing shoes. Andy greeted us right away and helped me find a great pair of new climbing shoes that my son loves. IME is among the best local gear shops in the Salt Lake. Thank you for being awesome!

Even though there was not a special sale going on during our visit, it is always a treat to find past season Patagonia items at a discount. The store is clean, well laid out and well stocked, both with past season and current season items.

This time we had a jacket we needed repaired, so they accepted it to ship back for repair. Lots of parking is available in their lot.

If you catch it at the wrong time, good luck finding a place to park because the lot is tiny. Inside, the store isn't large, but it packs a punch for what it has. A lot of items are discounted 30% or 40% (or more, depending on the event). Some of the items are samples and/or irregular items, so the discount(s) can be pretty steep. One of the best parts of this is that for someone who is out of town, they will ship your purchase for free. So I always take advantage of that because why pack it in your luggage when they'll do that for you? It's a great outlet with pretty stellar deals and a great selection. 100% worth the stop.

Just ordered a pair of Elan Ripstick 106 Black alpine skis from Lone Pine Gear Exchange online and could not be happier with my experience. Excellent communication with some questions I had, faster than expected shipping, and the entire process was even better than I could have anticipated. Highly recommended and will definitely be top of mind for outdoor equipment, skis, and apparel. read more

Hooray for the local guy!…read more Kirkham's has always been one of my favorite outdoors stops, and there are some pretty compelling reasons why. First of all, they employ people who are passionate about the outdoors and who, generally speaking, know what they are talking about. There's no push for corporate outdoorsness--I've often felt like I was chatting with a buddy when talking things over with their staff. Second, I like the location. Just off of State Street near the 33rd South exit of I-15. Nice. Third, they carry some quality stuff. The lightweight, high-quality, not El Cheapo stuff is their specialty, and they do it well. Lots of it is set up or out for display so you can get a good look at what you're after. The biggest reason I'm a fan is those Springbar tents. If you're not familiar, a Springbar tent is the greatest family/Scout troop/group tent known to man. They're immortal. They're super easy to set up. They weigh about a half a ton, but they're a tent you buy and pass down to your kids. For real. A few other bonus features: they have a decent selection of climbing gear, they have a tent repair area, they have random tent material (seam sealer, no-see-um mesh, tent stakes, etc.) and a nice book and map selection. Also, I dig the dog hiking gear and the clothing sections.

It's also possible we no longer have the same numbers of people who actually backpack, and do backcountry activities, and want quality gear. I don't know. I've been coming here for 30+ years. I've spent many thousands of dollars. I don't go much anymore, so the dramatic decline in stock threw me off. For me, it's because I bought the kind of gear in my 20's and 30's that will last forever, and I'm in my 60's now. I have a reason not to do so much backpacking. In the day, the aisles were narrow and the place was filled to overflowing with everything. They had the regular brands, but they had nearly every one of the esoteric, specialty brands too. Today, outside of North Face, nothing in quality sleeping bags. It looks like a place heading out of business. I was there to look for shirts. In the day, they had as much nice outdoor styled clothing as you find total clothing in the big box store. There just wasn't much to choose from today. Walking around you could see the empty walls that held shoes, boots, and similar. I'm so sad. I assume there will always be a market for the car camping gear that Springbar tent owners are going to need. The Springbar tents are great. I don't own one, although I bought both my backpacking and car camping tents there.

Not only understood they on the phone what I wanted, they were confirming technical questions as needed, able to discuss mounting positions of the binding and their advantages/disadvantages, then willing to do the job.

I just had an unreal, terrible customer service experience at Marty's Ski and Board Shop. I rented…read moresome skis as part of a demo, where if I liked the skis I could buy a new one from them and they would discount 2 rental days from the price of the skis. The price tag on the ski was listed as $559. Two rental days = $102. Simple math. I should pay, per their own rules, $559-$102 = $457. For some reason, their guy at the counter is having a hard time pricing the skis (even though the sale tag is clear). I then point out to him where the bar code is. The skis, for some reason, scan at $700. He then wants to sell the skis for the listed price of $559 because it's cheaper than the scanned price. Not only that, but the guy acted like he was doing me a great service for honoring their own sticker price. That was not the deal. I would not have demoed those skies if I knew they would be this shady. In fact, I would not recommend renting from them at all. They don't honor their own rules. No integrity. He brought over a girl whom I assume is the manager. She tells him to honor the deal, and then walks it back. She then tells me that the reduced price sticker was added to skies AFTER I took the demo out. She said that the price tag was $599 when I took the demo out (keep in mind that she never offers me the $599 - $102 deal, so clearly she's just fishing for excuses to draw more money out of me). But even then... she KNEW I had those skis out on demo. Why would she lower the price??? But, she did not lower the price. She lied. I remember the $559 sticker. I then told her my wife had found those skis online for $480. She told me she could price match if I showed her the site. Ends up I was wrong and the online price was $525. I didn't want to give them that much money. They deserve zero cents from me.

I purchased this playset on 8/10 to make sure we had it delivered and set up by Labor Day weekend. It was not delivered until 9/10. On the upside, I have to acknowledge the help I received from Alexis and Brandy in the sales department. They went above and beyond trying to help me get my delivery on time, and when it turned out that wasn't possible, Brandy made sure to offer accessories compatible with our playset to apologize for the inconvenience. I would recommend this company if they changed their shipping company.

We had a group of five people renting skis, boots, and poles. When they aren't busy, you can get out of the shop within 20 minutes or so. The staff is friendly and eager to assist. You can change equipment anytime and they help you find the right equipment for your needs and skill level. After the first day of skiing, I changed to longer skis (went to 172cm). Then, after three days, I changed my boots because one was hurting my foot. I went to a more narrow boot. Each night, we stored our skis and poles at their shop. They give you a numbered blue plastic triangle to collect your equipment the next day. You only pay for the days you use the equipment. They have different levels of skis (Demo $38, Performance $26, and Sport $20). We opted for the Performance skis. Overall, an excellent little shop. They don't have much equipment to sell. It's mainly a rental shop. Xie Xie!
