We’re excited to announce our partnership with High Gear Cyclery, Avon’s trusted bike service shop for years. Together, we’ve expanded Cripple Creek Bike and Backcountry into a year-round ski and bike hub.

Under one roof, you’ll find expert bike service from the High Gear crew, top bike brands like Specialized, Santa Cruz, Yeti and more, backcountry ski and splitboard gear, private gear consultations, local pickup for any online orders, and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Whether you're pedaling the local trails or chasing powder in the backcountry, Cripple Creek in Avon is your go-to for gear, service, and expert advice—all right here in the valley. Stop in and see how we’re combining the best of both worlds to elevate your next adventure.

Slopeside since 2016

We first opened as a slopeside ski shop in Lionshead, catered to ski touring, telemark and splitboarding. In 2019 we moved to Avon and have been a community first ski shop.
