Lone Pine is a locally owned and operated gear shop with a focus on creating a circular economy within the outdoor gear industry. We provide the community access to high quality gear at affordable prices. In addition to our gear shop, we also have a full-service ski repair and tune shop, a gear repair department with two commercial sewing stations, a refill station to help reduce single-use plastic, and an in-house coffee shop.

We believe that small acts can make a big impact.

While we all love to play outside, we also recognize that consumerism is tied to outdoor recreation and this industry goes against our innate desire to protect the places we love to explore. We wanted to create a different kind of shop - one that keeps gear in use and out of landfills. We have also committed to planting a tree for EVERY online order and in-store purchase.
