I purchased my first set of skis last week!  Angie, Katie, and Elizabeth were all so helpful.  Elizabeth spent a TON of time with me, fitting me for boots and then skis.  She was full of knowledge and very patient!  Also, thanks to Brenda, I felt like I got the royal treatmen:) More...

Excellent spot for apparel and accessories for the outdoor enthusiast or those who simply want to look like they spend time in the great outdoors. Alpine Shop is a local business with multiple locations in the St. Louis area. Intrigued by the array of brands offered, and needing warm clothing and layering pieces for the months ahead, I decided to stop into the Chesterfield location, located in a large strip mall near Barnes & Noble.The store is well merchandised and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful, even going out of their way to call to another location to order a Kuhl fleece vest that I was looking at that was not in stock in my size at the Chesterfield location. It is not easy to find Kuhl apparel and the selection here rivals that on Amazon. In addition to the vest, I ended up purchasing a pair of Smartwool fleece-lined leggings, along with a couple of long-sleeved layering tops. After doing a major coat closet purge earlier this season, I was in need of hats. Alpine Shop delivered, as I managed to score a coal gray hat with a decorative pompom detail, and another, oatmeal hat that is fleece-lined and also features a pompom--perfect to pair with my Canada Goose or Moose Knuckles parkas when the temperatures plummet.The area near the cash register also features handy guides and checklists on packing for skiing, hiking, and camping trips. While the pieces I got are not the most fashion-y variety, I know they will stand the test of time and be wardrobe workhorses to keep me toasty in the bone-chilling cold of a Chicago winter. More...

Alpine Shop has a long history of providing premium outdoor equipment and clothes for all your outdoor needs. They really "do what they sell", and they love what they do, so talking to the staff is a great bonus to the buying experience.  I thoroughly enjoyed worked there part-time for 5 years and still always enjoy this slice of Colorado mountain experience.  It just feels right, not like REI or the other big box stores.  And yes, it's premium pricing, but that's how you get great staff with a working knowledge that can save you a lot of hassle and money on down the road by selling you the right gear the first time.

This was my first time stopping here. Facility is clean and the staff are friendly. I lucked out by stopping by during a sale and picked up some essentials for kayak season. I probably could have picked up some of the items for cheaper online, but with the trusty staff and being able to try things on while I was there trumped the online shopping experience. The staff is fairly knowledgeable of the outdoor sports / adventures so they can help point you in the right direction when you’re looking for the right gear. Neat little spot. If you’re in the Kirkwood area stop by and find all the outdoor gear you need. More...

I recently went to the alpine shop to get some clothes and new pants. i work in a car shop and am very hard on my clothes and commonly destroy pants within a few months. i was helped by a really awesome sales team member named haley. after walking in she came right up and asked to help. she showed me all of the different durable material pants they had and after trying some on i decided to go with a pair of KUHL FREE RYDR mountain pants. they have reinforced seams in the legs and are made of really tough material yet are literally some of the most comfortable pants ive ever owned. i would reccomend the brand to anyone looking for quality clothing and would most definitely reccomend the alpine shop to anyone looking to go on an excursion or just everyday clothing or Gear, especially the kirkwood location. all the staff were very helpful!!

Buying ski clothes in Saint Louis doesn't get any better than this.

First of all we walked in at open (10am on Saturday) and there was a table of complimentary ALCOHOL. A tub of iced down free beer. I shopped all morning while drinking for free, it does not get any betrer.

They don't have the lowest prices but still keep a good inventory of of clearance and discount clothes on hand. If you're willing to pay for the quality they have all of the topline brands and plenty of choices. Clothing, equipment, and more. Sections for men, women and kids. Lots of staff around and all very friendly and helpful. Very impressed. More...

Ski shop sales guys originally sold too small boots, with return experience they were still trying to convince us to get too small size but ultimately allowed us to purchase a size he can tolerate and actually wear. Good quality products with great selections. Still not sure why they kept pushing the too small boots Wish St Louis would get another ski shop. Looking for healthy business competition for the benefit to the customers. Overall recommend this neat place. More...

Alpine shop is the best...there is no other way to say it. Kirkwood Alpine Shop is especially great because of all the positive experiences I've had there. Shout out to Sye and his expert advice and opinions on footwear. I won't buy performance shoes (Shoes where it REALLY matters) without at least asking him now. He helped me find the perfect pair of Chacos to replace my 8 year old pair of sandals that I was emotionally attached to. More...

This shop is what every community needs. They are socially conscious raising funds and awareness for local causes. Any store that has beer at events once in a while is always at the top of my places to shop. It's not just for athletes or hard core adventure seekers. I get the kids school backpacks here. They last a long time and the kids like the name brands. Large selection of top quality sports products. I like getting a comfortable North Face tee at a fair price from a local store instead of a chain market. I have gotten great advice on products I was just interested in. I've never felt pressured to buy anything. Variety of products for biking, hiking or floating. Free demos of kayak every year also at Creve Coeur lake. Friendly knowledgeable staff and did I mention they sometimes have beer or wine. More...

The people at Alpine Shop are super helpful. If you're looking to buy a backpack, Zack is an awesome resource. Drawing from his knowledge and experience as a backpacking guide in New Mexico, he gave me a quick rundown of Backpacks 101. He saved me hours of research. I was able to quickly identify the item I wanted to buy and even got a thorough lesson in backpack fitting and adjustment. More...

Yesterday I felt obligated to share my experience I had at Alpine. It was raining and crappy out and I've been wanting a certain jacket for a while now. I called the store to see if it was something they had in stock. Not only did the staff member know already that they carried it, but he went out of his way to check and see what colors they came in and what sizes they had in stock. I was blown away by his willingness to totally help me out- a person that simply called the store. When I arrived every single staff member smiled at me or asked if I needed help. If I had any questions they knew the answers and were super knowledgeable. Can't say enough nice things about my experience, but I'm always super happy to spend my money locally instead of visiting the big box store. Angie (spelling) the store manager was super awesome, Perry in the boats area as well- sorry I didn't get other people's names- but everyone is great! Grab your outdoors gear here people! More...
