Their associates have the wherewithal to remediate any issue, whether it be a repair to gear or replacement (if required and possible) to selling of items that are nice to see in person. Thanks to the crew members Ethan, Crystal and Cal for their expertise!

Exceptional Service from Brad - Ski Barn Durango Delivers!…read more I ordered the Tahe Beach LP2 Inflatable Kayak Package online from Ski Barn Durango and had it shipped all the way from Colorado to Sarasota, Florida -- and I couldn't be more impressed! Brad, the manager, and his amazing team went above and beyond to ensure a smooth, professional, and personal experience even from a distance. Brad personally followed up with updates, answered all my questions, and made sure the kayak shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. What really sets Ski Barn Durango apart is their unmatched customer service and commitment to quality. The kayak arrived exactly as described, and when I had a minor warranty question, Brad made the process stress-free and stood behind the product 100%. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers -- even ones across the country! If you're looking for top-tier outdoor gear and want the peace of mind that comes with buying from a trustworthy, passionate team, Ski Barn Durango is the place to go. I'd absolutely order from them again and highly recommend them to anyone, near or far. Thank you, Brad and team, for your outstanding service -- I'm thrilled with my new kayak!

He made two appointments with me and failed to show up for either one. When I called him he had yet another excuse for not being able to come out and look at the problem.

He told me to find someone else.

We came later in the day and he let us have that day for free and we paid less than $80 for 2 people for the next day. He was accommodating to the fact that the place we were skiing closed at 8pm and he closed at 6pm. He had no issues with us bringing them back the next morning. We will use this business every time we come to Colorado. Thanks Sam and Dusty

Part the first - Booking our float trip on the San Juan river was simple. Called up Duranglers, spoke with Spencer, got some preliminary instructions, gave payment for half. Took 10 minutes. Received subsequent emails, phone calls from Tom, the owner, about NM fishing licenses with relevant links and day of driving directions to the meeting location. Made navigating an unfamiliar territory seamless. Act II - Shop experience. I "needed" a new fly line. I walked out with much more! Prices were reasonable, shop guys were more than happy to shoot the breeze, and their selection was top notch. Great shop! Part three - The Rob Effect: Im a beginner fly fisherman, my dad was a first timer. I have had 10 or so guides over the last 3 years since taking this hobby up. Rob C. is tied with one other in N. CO as my favorite. He was patient, funny, and a wealth of knowledge about almost any topic. He is an unbelievably technical fisherman, his skill set and command of the rod is unparalleled. His respect for the river and the fish it contained was refreshing. I cannot recommend him highly enough! He made our trip the success it was. You will not be dissatisfied with any aspect of Duranglers!
