    Good place to get some rental skis.
    Jennifer J.

    Every time I wander into Backcountry Essentials I ask myself: why the heck don't I come here more often?! They've got pretty much anything and everything the outdoor enthusiast could need. Camping gear? Check. Ski gear? Check. Water bottles? Check. Books and maps? Check check. Beer? Yep, they've even got that! The main level of BE features new gear, clothing, accessories, and pretty much anything you could need to look like you're from Bellingham. Upstairs is their used/consignment area, which is a great place to find deals on those name brand items that will cost you outrageous amounts at the more famous outdoor stores. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Even if you look like you have no idea what you're doing, they'll treat you like outdoor royalty. Don't ask me how I know!

    This is a great local shop. The staff is particularly incredible. If you ever need the best boot fitter around, go see Megan!

    I walked out with a great pair of boots, custom fitted, and even found some ski bibs in the extensive used gear section upstairs.
