The BackCountry is an independent ski, bike, and mountain shop located in Truckee, California. In business since 1993, our goal is to provide the best gear, service, and advice in the Lake Tahoe/Truckee area. We know the gear, use it and will steer you straight with all of your outdoor gear needs! Backcountry isn't just our name but where we enjoy spending our time. Whether mountain biking, skiing, climbing or backpacking, we are always aiming to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains and surrounding wilderness. Our knowledgeable staff has a wide range of backgrounds and has first hand experience in using the gear that we sell. We wouldn't sell you anything that we ourselves wouldn't use. Come visit us today!
