Our mission

Grow the outdoor culture of Monument.

We provide products, service and engagement to help the area's outdoor culture grow further and wider. We want to be a catalyst for access, participation and stewardship in Monument and Colorado Springs, and the place where it all happens.

People

We value all relationships with the people around us.

Play

We value outside and sport, and the wellness that comes from both.

Environment

We are stewards of the world we live in and participate with.

Community

We value diversity, inclusion, compassion, celebration and connectedness.

Spirit

We promote joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and responsibility.

The team

Locals, transplants and anyone who loves the outdoors. Everyone here works customer experience: matching you with the right bike, skis or rental, fitting boots and helmets, checking in your repair and getting you out the door ready to ride. Some of us carry a tech specialty too, from junior tech to master tech.
