About Salida Mountain Sports
Salida Mountain Sports is a locally owned outdoor gear shop on North F Street in downtown Salida, serving as a hub for climbers, skiers, backpackers, and cyclists exploring the surrounding Sawatch and Sangre de Cristo ranges. The store blends a well-curated retail selection with a rental program that helps visitors gear up for whatever the season demands.
Its rental offerings shift with the calendar — alpine and cross-country ski and snowboard packages and snowshoes in winter, plus climbing gear and bikes when the snow clears. Staff outfit customers for trad and sport climbing on Salida's abundant granite, high-country hikes and fourteener attempts, and backcountry ski tours near Monarch Pass. The shop also carries apparel, footwear, and hardgoods, and its team is happy to share route beta and conditions reports.
Salida Mountain Sports stands out as the town's dedicated human-powered adventure store — a one-stop shop where locals and travelers rent gear, get expert fittings, and tap into firsthand knowledge of the region's trails, crags, and snow. Its downtown location and community focus make it an essential stop for self-guided adventurers.
