Pay-to-Play // July Adventures

July has been a blast for us over at Ute Mountaineer! We've been soaking up every spare minute in the Colorado sunshine with daily hikes up the Ute trail, backpacking to Crested Butte, climbing at Lime Creek, and scrambling the Flatirons. The best part? We get to test our gear and share our experiences with you! 

At Ute Mountaineer, a core component of our mission is to: "Sell the equipment we know and use." That's why our Pay-to-Play program has been going strong for over 25 years. Here’s how it works: our staff picks their favorite outdoor activity, takes our gear along, and documents their adventures - then reports back! 

Backpacking trip from Aspen to Crested Butte

Our Pay-to-Play program not only allows us to stand by the equipment we sell but also ensures that our staff's firsthand experiences and expertise enhance our customers' outdoor pursuits, making their adventures safer and more enjoyable. For us, it's all about authenticity, knowledge, and a deep love for the place we call home. 

We believe our time outside helps us learn and grow, so we can serve you better with gear recommendations that truly fit your adventures. So, if you're ever around, drop by Ute Mountaineer, and let's chat about the next adventure you’re gearing up for! 🏔️🌲
