Large mountaineering shop with knowledgeable staff. A guide book rental library is a fantastic edition to any outdoor community which is rare and much appreciated.

I was incredibly disappointed to find only ONE size XL women’s shirt in the whole store...should start carrying a wider range of sizes.

Respectfully disagree with the previous review on customer service. Visiting from Bellingham, I was super stoked to see them carrying Gretchen Leggitt's artwork and wood-wicked Good & Well Supply Candles (smell like heaven and sound like a campfire). The store rep working that day was very conversational, helpful and engaging. Great place to pick up thoughtful gifts, cards, slaps, you name it. Worth the parking ticket!

Nice store but the store representatives are too busy talking to each other and their buds to be of any help. It's a self-serve shop. Maybe they're trying to emulate an Amazon Go store.

Lorain aka The Boot Mechanic is truly a world class ski boot fitter and can turn your hard plastic torture chambers into silk slippers. As a pro patroller for Vail/Beaver Creek I thought I experienced some great boot fitting. Having just spent two years living in Europe I experienced excellent boot fitting, seeking help from the most highly regarded shops in St. Anton, Verbier, and Val d'Isere. Lorain's work today bested them all. Truly. Since my foot surgery I've never had ski boots feel as good as mine do now. I'm truly in awe.

Over the years I lived in Durango, the staff at Pine Needle have gone out of their way to help me with countless gear needs. As a business they invest in their customers, and partner with other local organizations doing work in both outdoor recreation safety and environmental conservation.
I moved away and they were willing to work with me without question to get a part for a ski binding that was out of warranty and ship it all the way out to Washington! This is a business worth supporting!

Knowledge! every time i stumble in this place I ask a few humble question and have been answered with some life changing knowledge from trail running to back country skiing.
this crew is solid and super knowledgeable.
Drew,soft spoken and simple non BS answers have stuck with me for years and oddly was a huge influence that lead me to ultra running.
with just a few sentences. kinda weird but true.
Duncan man of even fewer words but proves that he is listening has helped dial my AT boots and help steer my in some great gear choices.
knowledge and rad gear is key when running to play in the

We rented snow shoes and xcrountry skis, everything worked great, service was excellent, and the prices are very fair. The 24 hr policy is the best part allowing use for 2 days if you plan well.

I'm a local shopper of PNM for 3.5 decades. When I returned my broken Leki poles I learned that I would have to go directly to the dealer myself. It's July, my poles are broken and Leki is in Germany. How many sales and recommendations do you think PNM will get from me? 0. Come on customer service, get it right!

This place is absolutely terrible. The prices are outrageous and the owners have terrible customer service. I tried returning pants that were not worn and they wouldn't take them back or even offer me store cradit. Now I'm stuck with pants that don't fit and aren't warm. I would never shop here again.

The staff was really friendly and helpful when we went looking for climbing beta. They have a store copy of Durango Sandstone, a now out of print guidebook, which they gladly let us take pictures of so we had rope climbing info. They've got a good selection of outdoor gear moderately priced.
