It's not a polished place, but that's why I like it. The employees are laid back and helpful. They're not going to wine and dine you to buy something, but they're down to earth and seem like people you'd go skiing with or whatever choice recreational activity. If you're looking for "vintage" Patagucci to drive up to Hyalite, walk ten steps from the car and take #adventure shots for your instagram feed and head back to town, then you'll probably find some sweet duds here for that. AND, if you're actually going further than your car, you'll find great used gear that won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Okay, this is a longer one but as an avid thrifter and experienced (and fair) reseller myself, I…read morethink that this place necessitates a particular conversation. My thoughts- I've stopped into Second Wind a few times over the years in search of gear/clothing for personal use, but have consistently walked away disappointed if not empty-handed because their pricing is exorbitant and stupidly inflated, and I have no shame in using that sort of verbiage. An example from today that caught me so off guard I did some research, subsequently leading me to writing this review- a heavily used & visibly stained/faded Patagonia vest listed at $115, which is $16 less than the retail price on Patagonia's own website ($131). In my opinion and personal experience, this is not an isolated case- a lot of their merchandise is significantly worn, sometimes even dirty, and still priced like it's barely been used. While I did find and purchase a cute pair of pants that were reasonably priced and in good shape today, it unfortunately doesn't negate the general pattern of overpricing. Selling gear in highly used and rough condition for near-retail prices undermines the whole point of secondhand shopping and if we're being honest, many locals have access to outdoor industry discounts that include the benefit of full warranties. Trying to resell deeply used gear at near-retail prices just feels exploitative in that context. Even online secondhand platforms like Depop tend to be far more equitably priced and transparent about quality. I'm all for supporting secondhand and local businesses, but not when it starts to feel greedy and borderline shady. Pricing like this erodes trust and defeats the purpose of resale. There are more transparent, affordable, and community-minded options out there-- please shop around.

TLDR: I would hesitate to purchase anything from this shop given that they do not stand behind their products (I notice another reviewer had a similar issue). Imagine not having a pair of skis, or in my case gloves, for a month of your season. I would also recommend checking your credit card for double charges, particular with respect to rentals, which I was lucky to catch. I purchased a pair of gloves and almost immediately found that a seem was ripped. When I attempted to return the gloves the following day, I was told it was going to be a warranty issue and they couldn't take them back. They would have to warranty it. I even offered to just have the gloves fixed myself if they waived a $25 day of boot rentals (they declined and I was actually double charged instead...). I was annoyed but trusted they would sort it all out so I went with it. It took me several follow ups, and waiting almost a month to find that they had finally been warrantied. But wait, Uphill had the gloves dispatched to their own store, knowing the whole time that I also live out of town. With that additional error, it was going to be an additional $15 fee to ship to me and a further delay. This feels very deliberate as it was at this point that they finally offered a refund...almost a month later? Their response says it all: "- most dealers request that we make sure that they will process the warranty before we issue new product or a refund...so that dealers like us aren't left with products that are neither resell-able or warranty-able. " As my wife (who works in retail) pointed out, now that they have a new pair of gloves they can sell, of course they can refund me - they took no risk that the gloves wouldn't be warrantied. They let me carry all of that risk and then in the end made sure they were the ones who got to keep the new gloves. Dear Management: There is no good company on earth that would ever treat their customers out like this. I would love for a store like yours to be a success, but you need to look out for us the customer. This experience feels so dirty - any number of actions on your part could have made it feel like a good experience, and you would have received a great review instead of this. Dear Potential Customer: You're a recent MSU grad looking to celebrate, an out of towner who needs some gear for a fun adventure, or just an average guy or gal looking to get into backcountry skiing. Picture yourself excitedly buying a $1,500 dollar pair of skis from a cool store and then having no support the second the money has left your account - look what they did for me over a $100 item, imagine something big ticket. I just can't say I'd recommend making that purchase here.
