I've always had a decent experience at EMS. I have gotten a lot of my winter hiking gear from EMS…read moreand generally venture into the store when I'm in the area to browse around. Most recently, they had a lot of deals extended past Black Friday, but unfortunately most retail coveted items like Kahtoola microspikes were not on sale and still full price at $69.95. The store is multiple levels and the employees have always been friendly at directing me on where to find things. I do wish they carried Darn Tough Socks from Vermont, but they have a different fake-wool sort of sock brand which I don't like as much. I've had to venture to stores like The Mountaineer to find DTS. I've also looked at climbing equipment and harnesses here, but mostly found the pricing not competitive as the climbing gym, so passed on some of the selections. Despite that, I've purchased snacks and always enjoyed browsing from here. I do think EMS products are pretty high quality in general and last a while, so whether you're looking for gear, snowshoe rental, base layers or whatever you may want for some outdoor adventure, definitely check out this spot!

It's pretty small for an EMS. They had basic stuff at reasonable prices for a tourist town. Staff…read morewas friendly, but not well informed on products. We didn't find what we needed, but nice there's one in the area.
