Reviews of Alpine Shop - Kirkwood, MO
Elizabeth Bruch- Your STL Realtor (Liz)
Twice we have been to the Alpine Shop and both times the staff was AWESOME! I was getting fit for ski boots and this time, Shannon was awesome! She took her time, allowed me to ask questions, feel out the boots, teach me about different styles and features, and gave me time to determine what felt best. She was really patient and I truly appreciate how helpful they are every time we go! When spending a significant amount of money, it’s nice to see how helpful and considerate the staff is of their customers. My husband dropped skis for new bindings as well and despite what is the week before the holiday, they told us they could fit us in for a repair! Their willingness to go above and beyond is clear! Not to mention, they have a great selection from Patagonia and Northface to 686 and Burton. A++++
lance alfredson
I had such a great experience with an online order . None of the mega camping sites had the backpack, I wanted, in all 3 colors available. Caleb put me on hold went and personally verified they had all 3 colors, took my order and shipped them the same day!! I will definitely recommend to friends and absolutely use this shop as much as possible!!
C Pope
My goto shop for disc golf supplies! This is a really fun store to browse in. They also have a really good bike department. We have brought our bikes in now and then for service and they always do a great job. The bikes are also ready when promised. Their staff is helpful if you have questions. I highly recommend this place for all your outdoor needs. They are great!
Susan Pregon
Best Hiking Everything!
From clothing to shoes. Alpine shop has it
Best part is the service. All staff are fabulous, but a special shout out to Sye and Angie, who helped me time and again, to fix a pesky hiking shoe fitting issue . They are super amazing!

Went to get fitted for ski boots and to get bindings mounted, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a business. Even though it was incredibly busy and they were short staffed, everyone was extremely friendly. I ended up leaving with exactly what I came for.
Chris Doebert
Best place for anything snow in St. Louis. I've been reliably buying gear from them for years. The people there always hook me up and I've never been disappointed.
Sean Zalmanoff
There was a mistake made with a couple pairs of bindings and skis. The "mistake" ended up being OK, but Eric and the rest of the guys in the ski department owned it and made the experience positive. We had a good resolution, but they offered to do really anything I wanted. It was great to deal with people do the right thing!
Cindi James
Great place to buy Patagonia products. I very much appreciated all the extra help Debbie provided while shopping. She was very helpful explaining the return process because I was buying a gift. Very wide selection and lots to choose from.
Tyler Kroeker
This was my first time stopping here. Facility is clean and the staff are friendly. I lucked out by stopping by during a sale and picked up some essentials for kayak season. I probably could have picked up some of the items for cheaper online, but with the trusty staff and being able to try things on while I was there trumped the online shopping experience. The staff is fairly knowledgeable of the outdoor sports / adventures so they can help point you in the right direction when you’re looking for the right gear. Neat little spot. If you’re in the Kirkwood area stop by and find all the outdoor gear you need.
karen mccoy
Very helpful sales people, both on the phone and in person. Thanks, Maria, for helping me find the perfect trekking stick with a dual-function handle that functions as either a stick or a cane. Great local business.
Eric Z
The store has great selection of gear items, but what sets this gear store apart is their customer service. The sales associate (Miles) went above & beyond to assist me with a damaged pack. Customer service like this is what makes life long customers and sets a business apart. I HIGHLY (and can't stress this enough) recommend Alpine Shop for your outdoor gear needs
Daniel Barnes
Joe in the ski/snowboard shop was awesome, patient and just plain customer oriented. It was refreshing to see someone like this in StL where customer service and kindness are foreign. Everyone I spoke to was polite and courteous. Great job. Just because of this we will be back.
Leigh Hellrung
Great selection, awesome service. There was a bin full of drinks at the door in case you were thirsty!
E Y
Friendliest staff ever!! Limited variety for ski stuff but I was also shopping pretty late in the game. Elizabeth was so helpful providing advise for a first time skier.. thank you. The place to SHOP for all your outdoor needs.
Sara B
We keep coming back here so I thought I should finally write a review. They have fixed my bike, we bought two bike racks (both are great), and their clothing and shoe selection for the whole family is very good. So pleased we have this local shop in kirkwood.
Thomas Kibbee
I had a relatively simple need for a specialized washer. The bike manufacturer would take forever to get it to me so I popped into the Alpine. They tossed me one and I am going to make sure they are lauded for the assistance.
If you need sports related items, go there.
Want to learn a new sport, get to the Alpine.
Bored? Buy a pizza and share with those guys. They will entertain you.
Steve Ogden
Very helpful staff and very knowledgeable. Many years ago I had a problem with the Alpine Shop when it was in Webster Groves due to one of the guys that ran the place. But he is long gone and I have since found the Kirkwood location and staff to be an excellent source of info, supplies & outdoor gear. Highly recommended!
Stephen Wingbermuehle
TL;DR - smaller than REI, but still has everything you're looking for and it seems cozier than you would expect. 10/10 would shop here again.
You know, the folks that work here are nice (shout out to Steven with the sweet van). They're nice and they're experienced with what they're talking about.
You go on and ask about backpacks and two people will help you out, ask you questions about your needs, share the most relevant technical specifications about a few different products they might want to suggest, and then tell you a story about one of their personal vacations using that exact gear or something similar.
As a testimony to how great this place is, I was shopping there during the pandemic and the folks were still super friendly. I'm a bit of a gearhead and I spotted a campervan in the parking lot. I asked the clerk about it and she told me who it belonged to because it was one of the salesman's. The salesman then very cheerfully talked to me all about it and then showed off all of its cool features. He even told me what products he was able to buy from their store and which ones he had to buy elsewhere because they were out of the ordinary for a retail gear shop. I mean, the enthusiasm this guy had really demonstrated how much fun shopping at this place can be.
Steven, if you see this, thanks again mate and happy camping!
KING OFSTADIA
Great Store, a bit on the pricey side but completely expected.....
Haris Bihorac
Went in to look at ski boot options and get fitted. Chris (ski/board department), was phenomenal. I have been skiing for 10 years and still managed to learn something new from Chris. Super informative and helpful. Awesome attitude and willing to help. Never felt pressured into purchasing anything but I still ended up snagging a new pair of ski boots. Would recommend 10/10
Johnathon Adams
This place is rad. I haven't been snowboarding in 18 years and Ben helped get me set up with a new board. I highly recommend Alpine Shop over anywhere in the MO area for your outdoor stuff.
Carrie Sona
Long time patron, 1st time reviewer ;). I have been shopping at Alpine Shop for over 20 years and have never received anything but top notch customer service and expertise. I love everyone but in particular Angie, shoe fit expert and bike shop gurus Joe and Carrie. You all rock and Jeff and i love you.
Ben Wohlschlaeger
Took my Wife (and CFO) today. The two ladies who helped her (the E team) were once again amazing. I'll continue to make this my go to shop for outdoor adventure.
Greg Brown
This is arguably the most helpful store I've ever been in. They actually have people walking around to see what you're interested in. It's not even a sales push, just good conversation and honest answers. I've only made one small purchase, (would have made more but there was limited items after the pandemic), but each visit I gained a ton of information about the products and local spots to use them. Special shout-out to the Kayak department, super helpful for getting me started.
Matt Morrison
Eric helped me pick my kayak, paddle, and cart. Showed me how to strap my boat in my truck. Very helpful great local business to support
David Fields
Amazing place. This store has way more of the actual useable camping/hiking gear than REI does. A very heavy focus is put on more technical and niche brands, which is always amazing.
Rebecca Renee
I had an amazing experience with Cec while shopping for footwear. I came in thinking I wanted a certain shoe, but had concerns. She listened and offered me a different shoe that I ended up loving!!!! And will be back to purchase more in the future. She talked to me more as a friend and not a “sales person.” Working years in retail myself I really appreciated that. She was welcoming and made my experience great. Thank you Cec!
Mike Thompson
Fantastic customer service. Bought a kayak and Emily and another employee (I unfortunately forget his name), went way out of their way to help me out and get everything loaded up. They were very knowledgeable about their products and loading procedures. Everyone in the store was friendly and helpful. I would definitely pass up other stores to shop here.
Michelle Rogers
The service and knowledge of Carrie in the bike shop was amazing! Not only did she show me the issues, she showed me how to identify them and whatto watch out for! I have always been so impressed with Alpine Shop and their staff. Thank you everyone who helped me today! I cluding the gentleman that held the door each time I brought a bike in. You all are awesome!
Tod Greenberg
I recently visited the Alpine Shop with my daughter who was looking for a new backpack for multi-day hiking trips. Allison was a tremendous help and spent lots of time with us giving advice based on her considerable experience, fitting the pack to her, and helping her make a decision. She ended up choosing an Osprey pack and the price was the same as the pack can be found online and at national retailers. However, there is no way those outlets can match the Alpine Shop for service! I shop there whenever I can and always have a great experience!
Michael Budler
For anyone needing to shop for their outdoor essentials I would highly recommend Alpine Shop over any other outdoors retailer.
You will receive some of the best local customer service in town here. Great store selection and the staff offers plenty of experience to speak to in helping find what you need!
Chris Brown
Good energy exists amongst like minded outdoor seeking people & I feel like home at the alpine shop in Kirkwood. It has a been a while & I walked into to inter galactic beastie boys, made me dance while clothes shopping.
I bought my first board from their old store in Webster in e 90’s & one of their board reps helped me try on boots & pick out the new BOA technology when tightening on & off, which is super convenient.
The in person advice & experience is well worth it. I enjoyed going back & look fwd
To outdoor workshops.
I am grateful for positive energy & helpful mountain/adventure places like Alpine Shop. 🙏🙏
Troy Schnelten
If you’re looking for apparel or shoes, do yourself a favor and make sure you go to the Alpine Shop in Kirkwood first. I shopped at REI and the Alpine Shop for clothes and shoes needed for a trip and the Alpine Shop is the clear cut winner for selection, style, and customer service. This store is amazing and I’ll continue to make sure I shop there first before going elsewhere.
Jon Thiel
I came in looking to pick up my first pair of ski boots and was greeted by Elizabeth! She was extremely helpful and asked every question she needed to know what kind of boot would work best for me! I felt educated on what to look for when it comes to both boots and skis! She even answered my questions about gear afterwards! You can really tell how passionate she is about skiing and has fun creating the same for others!
Marie I
The best experience!! Sye was incredibly knowledgeable. We came in for hiking boots and being newbies knew next to nothing, he was knowledgeable and genuinely happy to share what he knows. He then walked us over to a coworker to help with backpacks who was equally knowledgeable. We left knowing we got exactly what we needed and are excited for Colorado!!
Deborah Halter
I love going to the Alpine shop! Great gear and very helpful sales persons! My husband buys lots of gear and shoes there.
Daniel
This is a great store with a awesome staff that is friendly helpful and knowledgable on the equipment they sell. They are also very involved in holding events to support local out doors groups as well as veteran groups. And hold classes to teach people about outdoors activities and how to stay safe. I have been shopping there for a little over a year now and have been very impressed with how involved they are.
Mike Wildhaber
This is the place to go if you want quality stuff . I bought a pair of hiking/ casual shoes 👞 a nd they are super nice. …
Alex Popp
Alpine shop helped us pick out a beautiful kayak that works well for us. They went above and beyond to help us figure out the best way to secure the kayak to our car. In an hour we had everything we needed, couldn't recommend them enough!
Chris Bertelsman
We just purchased skis and boots and are extremely happy with the service. Mike spent an 11/2 with us sizing and picking out our new ski equipment.! He was very helpful and knowledgable .
chance roth
First time at the store and Elizabeth helped my two friends and I fit for snowboard boots, which we were clueless about. She helped us learn about each pressure point and found the boots that worked perfectly for each of us. Top tier sales service to say the least.
Ryan Barnes
Great independently owned outdoor shop. Good overall selection of high end gear for most types of outdoor activity. Has a good selection of kayaks and gear, the bike shop is very nice, lot's of clothing. Prices are in line with other outlets, but they run specials that often put them under the major outlets.
Julie Bergfeld
Great selection and knowledgeable staff. Huge parking lot with easy access. I just find prices very high so don't shop here so much.
Kerry Duepner
Every single time I go here I have the best customer service experience. I talk to people who are extremely knowledgeable and who not only help me find what I'm looking for, but things I didn't even know I needed. They always explain the "why" behind the products and I feel more educated about the things I'm bringing home. 10 out of 10 would recommend .
Eleanna Lis
Alpine Shop and specifically Elizabeth has been our go to for years to purchase local snowboard gear. With our hard to fit son, she tirelessly works until she gets him a boot that fits just right. We are so lucky to have a St. Louis shop to help get us ready to hit the slopes every year!
Liz McGinnis
Ski shop sales guys originally sold too small boots, with return experience they were still trying to convince us to get too small size but ultimately allowed us to purchase a size he can tolerate and actually wear. Good quality products with great selections. Still not sure why they kept pushing the too small boots?? Wish St Louis would get another ski shop. Looking for healthy business competition for the benefit to the customers. Overall recommend this neat place.
Dan Rottler
Eric in the ski shop was awesome! I came in last Friday and expected to wait 3-4 days to have my bindings tested and adjusted. Eric did it while I waited 20mins. Great customer service. I will definitely recommend all my friends and family to the alpine shop after experiencing that level of service.
Tommy Marcinkiewicz
Fabulous service and product offerings every time I go in. I had an especially great visit today when the cycling department helped me find an almost completely outdated brake shoe I had been looking for, and an attendant helped my look for a nice, durable jacket. An awesome store.
Sarah Sheridan
Our sales associate, Kyle was incredibly helpful and friendly while helping my bf get fitted for new ski boots and skis. Glad we happened upon this shop.
Austin Dazey
The shop closed early on New Years Eve and we had our skii’s in there and needed them asap for the next day. I messaged the Facebook group and the store manager Angie reached out to me and VERY kindly took care of our problem. She had another worker, Eric, come in early the next day even though they were closed, fix the skii’s and get them ready for us to leave for Colorado. This store was incredibly awesome for that and I am blown away by the kindness. Thank you again Staff, and Happy New Years!
Kenneth Lane
One of the best outdoor experience stores I have ever come upon! The variety and selection is fantastic with all the big names in outdoor gear. It made me miss our backpacking days from many years ago. Friendly staff and expert advice is on hand.
Boomer Gutknecht
What an amazing experience I had with these guys today. I ordered some J hooks for our new kayaks and they offered to literally drop them off at my house today due to the delayed shipping from memorial day weekend. Thanks Caleb you guys rock :-)
Hollowlujah
Mike and Marcus are awesome I went in and got some snow gears they were really helpful and knowledgeable about getting me the stuff that I needed for my trip, Mike went above and beyond on looking for color of anon mask that I had wanted, this store location definitely have nice and friendly staffs, will definitely go here anytime I need any kind of gears. Also thanks again Ken.
aniket kadam
I have had a very good experience shopping my bike here. Alpine bike store has provided great help and advice on smart upgrades and fine adjustments for a better fit.
Jason Hunt
Amazing customer service. Eric was very helpful in not just picking out boots but showing the best way to tie & wear them. Thanks!
Brittany Detmer
Awesome customer service. Prices are outrageous. I love that they fit your boots and take the time out of their day; but when you find the same product for hundreds less online it is a bit disappointing.
Dylan Mooney
Buying ski clothes in Saint Louis doesn't get any better than this.
First of all we walked in at open (10am on Saturday) and there was a table of complimentary ALCOHOL. A tub of iced down free beer. I shopped all morning while drinking for free, it does not get any betrer.
They don't have the lowest prices but still keep a good inventory of of clearance and discount clothes on hand. If you're willing to pay for the quality they have all of the topline brands and plenty of choices. Clothing, equipment, and more. Sections for men, women and kids. Lots of staff around and all very friendly and helpful. Very impressed.
Jim Gideon
Was in the market for a kayak and heard about Alpine Shop so I decided to drive the hour and check em out. I am glad I made the trip, Angie Bono was an absolute joy to work with.
Angie went above and beyond to help me with a fair deal on a beautiful Jackson Coosa HD. I can say this, you will be hard pressed to find better customer service anywhere like you will find at Alpine Shop.
Angie you and your staff were an absolute joy to work with and I will be back to get another Coosa from you for my wife.
Nathan Smith
Just bought 3 kayaks and accessories. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Ray Brundege
The staff was very friendly. There is a great selection of clothes. They have plenty of outdoor items without being overstocked. I have to say it again, I really impressed by the people that work there.
Matt Berry
I wish I could give this a 6/5 stars. My satisfaction with working with the Alpine Shop over the holiday season was out-freaking-standing.
I just finished getting my ski boots custom fitted by Jake in the ski shop and I could not be happier with my experience working with him.
I work myself as a professional guide in Southeast Alaska and recognize and understand the importance of having your gear dialed in - the safety of other individuals is coincided with ensuring you are rocking and rolling at no less than 100%, which includes all of your gear. Jake understands this and poked, probed, and custom molded my boots to my feet to ensure "nothing less than perfection, my dude." - his words. We worked over a period of two weeks to ensure that the fit was dialed in to that level of perfection that Jake requires for his work.
I myself head back up to Alaska this evening and cannot wait to rip with this new set up.
If you are in the greater Saint Louis area, there is no other place you should go, with no other bootfitter you should see, in order to get your ski boots fitted. Jake's work, demeaner, candor and dedication to the craft cannot be understated. Thanks, my dude!
Adie Bennett
I had driven past The Alpine Shop numerous times but didn't stop in until after attending an OTA event they co-sponsored. I'm super impressed with this business. They offered cheap, sometimes free classes (I took backpacking basics) and are extremely knowledgeable about their products.
I felt way less pressured here than at the REI I visited in Brentwood a few hours earlier and they weren't condescending (unlike at REI).
I was price shopping and will definitely be back to The Alpine Shop soon.
Kyle Crangle
Absolutely love this top notch local gear store! Angie Bono and Will arr simply incredible to work with, and I am thankful for their help. She turned me to some Superfeet sandals that I didn't know existed, but was able to purchase at the Alpine Shop and its been a game changer. Having a flip flop sandal with a proper supportive footbed has changed my life. I live in these things now. Even better than being naked! Thanks guys!
Marj Santhuff
The whole staff here is wonderful, they are helpful in assisting whatever you would like to do. Cycling to off road cycling, camping, snow skiing, kayaking, to fishing and so on.
I have taken several day trips with the Alpine shop. This is where I tell people to go to for any type of out doors activity.
Tyson Kanoya
I loved going there while growing up in high school. I would drive out to Webster Grove just to do window shop on camping equipment before they moved to Kirkwood. To this day I still window shop hoping to snag a good sales in a clearance section.
savi k
Great store with amazing staff members. I had opportunity to interact with Ben and he is lovely person will give you honest suggestions and which products to buy. This store is very huge compared to the one in Ofallan.
David Fotouhi
Alpine mounted bindings on new skis and sharpened an old ski. Excellent work and customer service.
Kristin Kirk
Very helpful staff, great customer service all the way around. Really nice selection of products and apparel.
