Super friendly service and great, knowledgeable staff. I rented a bear canister for a trip into the Maroon Bells Snowmass wilderness, and it was easy and reasonably priced.

Other Information
Parking: Street
The Ute Mountaineer in Aspen was, like many shops of its ilk, born of a love for being outdoors. In this case, it started as a dream between two friends who were climbing in Europe one summer, one of whom had already owned the Boulder Mountaineer shop. They opened the new store in 1977, and it's still family run to this day, in the historic Elks Building (once the Aspen Post Office). Their mission extends to the employees they hire, ?the people who know and use the gear they sell,? and also to their community involvement: The store sponsors and runs several local races throughout the year, and hosts the Banff Mountain film festival.
