We've been online for a long, long time. We started the idea of Mountains Plus way back in 1995 back when Yahoo was 'old school' grey with blue links and Amazon was this 'new' site where you could buy books from some dude named Jeff who was shipping them out of his garage and making $20,000/week. It was the Wild West in many ways and we had to build everything we had and learn everything along the way. While we weren't the first (sportsgeardirect.com was) to take the idea of selling outdoor gear to the internet...but we're pretty darn sure we were the Second.
We were one of Camelbak's first dealers (back when they were FastTrak systems out of TX) and we've seen many brands come and go in the nearly 15 years we've braved the wild and wooly world of outdoor e-commerce.
In all this time we've learned that there are really two things
that matter when you buy outdoor equipment: how you feel when you
buy it and how you feel when you use it.
We are 100% DEDICATED to
making sure you feel great doing both!
We love spending time in the outdoors
having fun adventures, and always wondering what's over that next
ridge. And we're always looking for cool new gear that might add
to the experience. But remember it's the experience,
not just the gear, that matters in the end.
We alpine ski, telemark, cross-country, snowboard,
mountain bike, kayak, hike, backpack, camp and just about anything else that
gets us out of the office and breathing fresh clean air. Just like
you, we don't want to max out our credit cards and empty our wallets
to buy all the tools to take part in our favorite outdoor adventures.
On the other hand, duct tape can only go so far!
We recognize that buying something like a backpack, sleeping bag or a mountain bike can be an incredibily personal and demanding
decision. Therefore, we're here
for you every step of the way.
This means that you will often end up talking or corresponding
with an actual human being. We don't outsource our call center but, instead,
we have a small, dedicated team who can help you with the products
and answer questions about fit, sizing, use etc.
so that, in the end you are truly able to enjoy the products
you buy. We may not have the largest selection, the coolest
web site, or the cheapest prices but our team will bend over backwards
to make sure that you receive the service you deserve.
We offer reputable products and respected brand names
like Atlas Snowshoes, Chrome Messenger Bags, Big Agnes Tents and Sleeping Bags, Crescent Moon Snowshoes, Camelbak packs, DEAN Bikes, Pronghorn Bikes, SRAM Components, Extrasport Paddle Equipment, Osprey Backpacks, Gregory Backpacks, Sierra Designs Tents and Sleeping Bags, Princeton Tec Lights, Brunton Compasses, Suunto Compasses, St. Moritz Watches, Inov 8 Trail Running Shoes and Packs, Ultimate Direction Packs, Primus Stoves, MSR Tents, Snowshoes and Stoves and many more
while continuing to search the globe for new and innovative toys
for outdoor fun. We recommend the stuff that WE actually use and
the products that WE would actually enjoy. In other words, we don't
just hock the "latest and greatest" trendy products Instead, we
have hardcore outdoor folks who pony up their expertise to find
gear that really matters...not fluff! So... please feel free to look around. If you don't
find what you are looking for, send
us some email and let us know what you want and we'll do our
best to have it for the next time you're here. It's always great
to hear from a customer and find out about a new product that we
haven't tried yet.
Thank
you for stopping by and we hope you enjoy your visit.
- Erik and Team Mountains Plus
