Mountain Lifestyle & Hiking Gear in Vail, CO

A summer day in the mountains can be anything from a quick walk, to a half-day hike, to a full schedule that starts on trail and ends in town, so it helps to have gear that fits real life up here. At Christy Sports, we can help you think through the basics that matter most, like hiking footwear that feels right for your plans, trail-ready layers for shifting weather, packs that keep the essentials close, and accessories that make time outside easier. Some people come in knowing exactly what they want, while others just know they need something more comfortable or more practical for being outside in Vail. Either way, we'll help you narrow it down without making it complicated. If you're looking for trekking poles, everyday outdoor pieces, or clothing and gear that can move from trail time to the rest of your day, stop by and see what's available in store or reach out before you come in.

Custom Boot Fitting in Vail, CO

Finding the right ski or snowboard boot can transform your time on the mountain, and our custom boot fitting services in Vail are designed to make that happen. Our bootfitters take the time to understand how your feet move, where you feel pressure, and what kind of terrain you like to ski or ride. From there, we use shell molding, liner molding, footbed creation, and precise adjustments like stretching, grinding, or cuff alignment to dial in the ideal fit. These services are walk-in friendly, and when you purchase boots and custom footbeds together, the fitting work (valued at $90 per hour) is included. Our signature fit guarantee lasts through the end of the following winter season and covers adjustments, part replacements when needed, and the labor required to keep your boots feeling right. We stand by a simple promise: if you don’t love your custom fit, we’ll make it right.
