Most recently, they had a lot of deals extended past Black Friday, but unfortunately most retail coveted items like Kahtoola microspikes were not on sale and still full price at $69.95. The store is multiple levels and the employees have always been friendly at directing me on where to find things. I do wish they carried Darn Tough Socks from Vermont, but they have a different fake-wool sort of sock brand which I don't like as much. I've had to venture to stores like The Mountaineer to find DTS. I've also looked at climbing equipment and harnesses here, but mostly found the pricing not competitive as the climbing gym, so passed on some of the selections. Despite that, I've purchased snacks and always enjoyed browsing from here. I do think EMS products are pretty high quality in general and last a while, so whether you're looking for gear, snowshoe rental, base layers or whatever you may want for some outdoor adventure, definitely check out this spot!

We worked with two gentlemen during our time at REI, both were fantastic. I wanted to share a specific shout-out to Nieve. Nieve spent substantial time with us to ensure that Paul was in the perfect boot, binding and the right ski for his level. Paul is an exceptional skier, who now lives in the Midwest with me, his average skier wife, after growing up in the ADK's and skiing every winter day of his life, when weather permitted, for 20 years. Nieve also fitted me for boats, bindings and skis too, for good measure, so I can ski with my husband and not be bothered with rentals. Nieve, thank you - you were a joy to work with and my mountain husband, who begrudgingly lives 9-months per year in the Midwest, is now a happy camper again. The Scaps.

The staff collectively assaulted and harassed me verbally for being a service dog user, and for criticizing the decline of REI. It's a leftwing business, which means that the "feelings" of the employees outweigh any and every other consideration. In fact, I asked for contact info to make a complaint, and while one employee was writing it down, another employee came along and tore up the paper! I left the store but had to go back in for something, and 8 store employees were viciously gossiping about me at the checkout area. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM REI EVER AGAIN!
