Our nicest kayaks are by Hurricane, they are polycarbonate and average 10 lbs lighter than most roto molded plastic boats, have a sleek design, and cruise through the water quickly and efficiently. They are especially great for women who want to load their own boat on the roof of their car by themselves! We also have a BIG selection of recreational plastic boats for 'light, small' women and children to 'Big, tall, and extra large' men. It's all about the size and fit.

 

We carry flatwater kayaks by Hurricane, Perception, and Wilderness Systems. Whether you are a woman looking to load her own boat and paddle local small lakes and ponds or have plans to do adventures on big waters, such as Lake Champlain or the ocean, both Peter and JoAnn have attended 'Rough Water Ocean Kayak School' out of Peaks Island, Maine, and have 20 plus years of paddling experience. We can choose the right boat for you!

 

 

We also sell all the paddles, PFD's (life vests) dry bags, fishing rod holders and paddling accessories needed for a fun day on the water.

We carry Lightweight Backpacking and Camping Gear. Packs by Osprey, Tents and Sleeping Bags by Mountain Hardwear, along with lots of camping accessories like Thermarest Sleeping Pads, freeze dried food, lightweight MSR stoves, and cooking utensils.

Stand Up Paddling (SUP) is our 'NEW' thing! it's more fun on the water! and a great 'core workout'. We carry Hobie SUP's.

 

 

We spend our summers on the water paddling and sailing and hiking the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks, and our winters in the mountains backcountry, telemark and 'AT' skiing. We try to specialize in just those activities.

K2's are the ski of the year!

The Women's Brightside is getting rave reviews for solid, stable, quick carving turns on hard snow conditions. It Rocks!

The Men's version is the Side Show, and the Hard Side for a little fatter under foot. Both are 'holding firm' on the rock hard surfaces and giving great turn initiation with the 'Rocker' tips. They are definitely the 'Shop Favorites!' We have Demos for $40 a day.

We have the best looking 'Tele'  & 'AT' ski wall in the Northeast...Call Peter for the  best advice on Telemark, Alpine Touring, Backcountry and Nordic skiing. No matter what your style is... we've got a ski for you!

We specialize in metal edged Backcountry skis by Madshus. (formally Karhu) for the best selection of ski equipment for going 'out your back door'. Most Vermonters and visitors are skiing logging roads, snowmobile trails and more mountainous terrain. We recommend metal edged skis with a good sturdy boot for stability and control.

Our Men's 'Tele and Alpine Touring' Boot selection is the best you'll find in the East. Custom fit, available in most sizes or special ordered ASAP!

For women athletes we have Alpine Touring and Telemark boots to give you the best comfort and performance combined with the lightest, best binding and ski combination to suit your needs.

We also specialize in custom climbing skins to fit every ski outfit. We trim A LOT of skins and teach people about 'the going uphill' part of skiing!
