Mountain Gear

Northstar Mountain Sports is Silverton’s full-service mountain shop, built for the San Juans and beyond. Whether you're heading out for a quick hike, backpacking into the Weminuche, bikepacking an alpine route, climbing high above town, or preparing for a big day in the mountains, we stock quality gear we trust and use ourselves.

We carry a thoughtful collection of equipment, apparel, and mountain essentials chosen for the terrain we live in every day—gear built for long days, changing conditions, and real mountain adventures. As mountain athletes ourselves, we spend our time riding, climbing, skiing, and exploring the same terrain our customers do, so we stand behind the gear we carry.

What We Carry

From quick hikes and trail runs to alpine missions, we stock a curated selection of gear and apparel built for mountain travel in the San Juans and beyond.
