Is there anything better than finding a hobby you enjoy as a beginner? As a native Minnesotan, I've…read morehad a love-hate relationship with winter. I love it because it's beautiful, I hate it because I had nothing to do.. Until I discovered cross county skiing. This year, however, everyone else decided /they/ wanted to discover skiing too. So when I called around to local ski shops, I was rushed off the phone because of low stock. Pioneer Midwest said they did have some beginner skis in stock, so I decided to make the trek out to Osseo.. Am I ever glad I did! Small store and parking lot, but don't let this fool you. The unassuming exterior is not an indicator of the wealth of knowledge and kindness on the inside. When I entered, the sales people were assisting a few other folks.. But it didn't take long for at least two staff members to make eye contact and offer me some help. Within about 5 minutes, employee Ian was helping me pick skis. He was very professional and kind and listened to me as I rambled about being a beginner and paying for rental equipment.. Something I really admired about Pioneer Midwest is this "sizing/fit" platform, where he had me stand on the ski and made sure it was a good fit for me. The Salomon Snowscape 7 Vitane (S) was the beginner ski choice for me! Boot sizing (Salomon Vitane Prolink) was a little tricky, but he was grabbing sizes as I continued to need them. He was the perfect amount of patient but also confident in the things he was offering me - he didn't confuse me with questions about bindings, they got me set up with just a good basic NNN binding (Salomon Prolink Auto). Picking ski poles was nice, as he did give me an option between a more basic (and cheaper) pole, and one he recommended (Swix Quantum 6). I went with the recommendation. Even though ski equipment pricing can shadow what I paid in total with the more professional equipment, Ian and the rest of the staff made me feel like I was still spending my hard earned money on a meaningful purchase. What I didn't know was that at my time of purchase (1/28/21), if you purchase boots/bindings/skis/poles, you get 10% off! That was a nice surprise. I had to get myself a nice Pioneer Midwest drink pouch too.. I should want to rep a great store!

If you have fond memories of Midwest Mountaineering, that longtime Cedar-Riverside staple, this new…read moreoutdoor activity gear shop is definitely good news for you! That shop's manager has now opened Lake State Mountaineering with similar wares and similar values. So we're talking high quality canoeing, climbing, camping, and hiking gear from a combination of large, small, and local vendors. They have a website you can order from, but if you want to browse in person and get knowledgeable advice from this passionate crew, you can pop into the shop. They have some pretty high-end merchandise, but I'm seeing some tempting sale offers and they have a rental program that might help you get kitted out for an adventure. This storefront location might be tricky to find at first. Enter through the building's Washington Avenue door, next to the barber shop, then follow the signs through the door there and up the stairs, where you'll spot them. I promise there's a nice store up there! You're on your own for parking but it's easy enough to find metered street parking. If you want to properly gear up for this kind of activity and want the best equipment, sold to you be a locally-owned store who will give you honest recommendations that come from deep experience, this is where to go.
