Alpine Quest Sports

Founded in 2005 by Sean and Cory Glackin, Alpine Quest Sports has served as the Vail Valley’s leading backcountry store for over two decades. Jon and Wendy Rehnborg acquired the business in the fall of 2023, retaining the original core team and the shop’s reputation for accessible adventure. The Edwards location stocks technical gear, apparel, and accessories for paddling, skiing, climbing, and backcountry expeditions. Inventory includes climbing shoes, harnesses, ropes, helmets, and belay devices alongside technical clothing. A substantial rental fleet covers paddling equipment, backcountry skiing gear, and climbing accessories. The store provides free consultations and operates with appointments required for certain services. Licensed and insured, the business caters to both locals and visitors seeking specialized outdoor equipment.
