Alpine Approach

My partner and I were looking for snow boots and had gone to a few different shops in town. Alpine approach had a great selection of quality gear with decent prices. Mary was super nice and helpful from the moment we stepped into the store. She kindly provided us with Masks (since the stop was impromptu) and fantastic advice which saved us money and headache! We left with lots of great new gear - and yes, new snow boots. Lovely shop and staff!

Great service! First at Mammoth where they found the exact jacket I’ve been looking for at their sister store Alpine provisions. My jacket was waiting for me when I showed up at AP! Quality equipment at a fair price.

Great selection of products, got a great deal on my Patagonia jacket. Great staff and service too.

carry all the best products and if you get Mimi customer service is the best!!! seems like great deals too

Purchased a hat and shirt. Great customer service and advice concerning our purchase!

Good selection of outdoor apparel and great staff!

Real backcountry and alpine gear, not just resort stuff.

My partner was on the hunt for a sweater. I was browsing while waiting for him to try on clothes in the dressing room and the sales lady followed me around the store. She asked if I “needed help” 4 times in a 10 min period. I looked around the store after the second time and noticed that she hadn’t been giving any of the other customers this much attention. I must have a face that screams confusion... or she was discriminating against me. I asked my partner afterwards if she had ever approached him (he’s white) and nope not once. I regret not telling him in the moment and stopping him from giving her a sale. There’s plenty of other shops in this town with the same brands available.

Edit: In response to the shop's message, this incident happened on July 7, 2020 in the early afternoon. My partner purchased a blue zip up sweater. The sales lady had blonde hair and was wearing a black tank top if I remember correctly. She approached me in the ladies sale section twice and then again when I was standing near the shoes and the dressing rooms.
