Gear West

Gear West is a unique shop — with a campus spanning three buildings and green space on the banks of Long Lake outside of Minneapolis, Gear West is both an expansive and beautiful establishment. But Gear West is more than just a nice campus — multiple Masterfit certified bootfitters; one of the largest selections of skis in the midwest (including DPS, Armada, and Faction); a premier race tuning facility; and a huge selection of snowboard, nordic, running, and biking gear make Gear West a gear head’s dream.

But what really sets Gear West apart from other shops is their sustainability ethos and community involvement. The roofs of all three buildings are donned with solar panels and Gear West regularly host “Pint Nights,” clinics, and weekend outings to help get people outside.

If you’re in the midwest, stop into Gear West, and let them know that Blister sent you for exclusive deals. Then let us know how it goes — your feedback is an important part of our review process to keep our shops list legit.
