Tahoe Mountain Sports

I was in need of some new road runners and was amazed at how knowledge and helpful Jackie was! I have a very small foot so stores generally have very little selection that fits me but this place had tons. I probably tried on 12 pairs! Way more than Reno Running Company has ever had for me and the prices were less. They even had my two favorite running sick brands — Feetures and injinji! Very good technical selection of running gear!

Tahoe Mountain Sports is the absolute BEST!!!
They carry a phenomenal selection of camping, backpacking, and mountaineering gear, featuring brands like Snow Peak, Nemo, Thermarest, Black Diamond, and more. My girlfriend and I had to restrain ourselves from impulse buying all of their great equipment during our visit. Although I rarely write Unilocal reviews, we were just so impressed with their excellent selection, and wonderful customer service to boot, that I had to give them props.
Dave went above and beyond, helping us get ahold of the Exped Megamat Duo 10 (one of the most comfortable, in demand, and, of late, hard to find, camping mats on the market). We needed to get one on a tight turn around, and even though they were sold out (they weren’t even available to buy anywhere online), Dave went so far as to contact his supplier regarding their order to ensure it would arrive in time for us. Ryan was also super helpful and friendly during our visit, and gave us a thorough rundown of their fantastic selection of hammocks. We were also delighted to see that they carry disk golf supplies!!! Love it!
You must go here! We will definitely be coming back when we’re in the Truckee area again. Thank you so much for all your help guys, and for running such an awesome store! I would give them ten stars if Unilocal permitted. They really are that good.

Amazing selection, friendly staff, and convenient location! They had more designer boots than anywhere else I visited!

Picked up a backcountry abs pack here. The guy who sold it to me led me through all the different designs and had a a fervent knowledge of each packs pros and cons. Thanks

THESE GUYS ARE GREAT! Their selection is awesome and they’re super helpful. Even stayed open late to help me out.

Awesome place — good gear, right price!
Staff is great and knows the gear really well!

Forgot my gloves on the way up to Squaw so needed a place open early enough and reasonably priced. Was able to quickly pull off the freeway and stop here. They had a good selection at a variety of prices. Would recommend stopping here and supporting your local snow store!

Decent/​small-​ish selection for the most part, but all good quality. Women’s clothing options a bit more scant per usual at these stores, but the sale prices made up for that! Very, very helpful and nice staff. Prices comparable to major retailers like REI, especially when add in the 15% Unilocal coupon (thx Unilocal).

Great company. I ordered a north face one man tent for a backpacking trip and it arrived at my door in less than 48 hours from the time I placed my order. When I called the company the staff was very helpful. Thanks!

Wow… this online store rocks! The website is easy to navigate, the prices are as competitive as all the other big outdoor stores, they offer new customers a 20% discount on their 1^st item (that was a big savings on my new Osprey pack), AND delivery is fast. Like freaky fast. I placed my order on Tue @ 9:30p and less than 3 days later, the package was on my doorstep when I came home from work on Fri @ 5p!

Nice new store and in Truckee! Great selection and good, knowledgable service. I will be back.

Knowledgeable staff, wide selection, great prices. I don’t have anything bad to say. They have been super helpful with returns as well.

Hands down, this is the best all around sports shop in Tahoe. They go above and beyond to give you honest feedback on what is already a great selection of gear. I picked up a great pair of Oneill shorts over the summer. I really needed downhill skis and got a great deal on some Volkl skis with Diamir free-​heel bindings, boots and skins for backcountry. Can’t wait to use them on a bluebird day brahh! Great updates on Instagram too for the local report.

Excellent place to shop. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and know their stuff.

I have purcahsed a couple of items from Tahoe Mountain Sports. The biggest item was an avalanche backpack. The staff is very knowledgeable and honest in their opinion. Excellent guidance. They also have training events and in the case of the avy bag an inflation night, where you practice and they give you a new canister.
I did not even know they were located in Kings Beach. I found them through a web search and then visited the store. Excellent however it will be much better in Truckee.
Excellent product lines, prices and staff knowledge.

Like a mini, less intimidating version of REI with incredibly helpful and friendly staff and nothing but the best options in almost every outdoor related category you can imagine. I recently shopped here for some supplies I needed for a hike on the Tahoe Rim Trail. Not only did I find everything that I needed, but I also got the added bonus of talking to people that had experienced the hike and new so much more than any guide book could ever offer. I highly recommend their new location in Truckee and have also had great luck on their website. Thanks Tahoe Mountain Sports!

Tahoe Mountain Sports has great products, amazingly helpful employees, excellent discounts, and typically costs less than REI. I go there often when planning our outdoor trips.

I have purchased winter and summer clothing online and in the store from this shop and I’ve always had a great experience. Their selection of Kuhl, Prana, Marmot, Mountain Hardware, Patagonia and other clothing brands are up to date and usually available in all sizes. They are knowledgeable in most areas of outdoor activities and stock just about everything you need for a day or weekend excursion in or around Lake Tahoe. They have a very friendly staff and are easy to work with. A cool little store that packs a big punch!

Tahoe Mountain Sports is EXCELLENT! Top quality gear, knowledgeable staff and you don’t have to drive out of the Tahoe Rim to get what you need! Everyone there is stoked out of their minds to be there, which is RARE, to say the least.
To the bad reviews about them being slow or not being attentive… Obviously some over-​anxious tourists who don’t understand Tahoe, or how real life works. When you get out of the Bay Area, leave your extended to-​do list and bubble of expectations at home and you’ll enjoy everything a bit more.
My wife and I have purchased everything from shoes, disc golf disks, and flip-​flops to backpacks, MSR camp stoves and water purifiesrs, there… Not to mention some awesome clothes (The wife’s new bikini she got on sale looks AMAZING :)
Every time I’m in Tahoe, I swing by to see what new gear for the upcoming season they have and I’m seriously looking at buying one of their inflatable stand up paddleboards… I mean, they even rent SUPS there!!!
For a store that caters to all season outdoor sports and carries an amazing amount of inventory with a tiny staff in a tiny tourist town, they truly are in a league of their own… And their website is fully functional, and lets me browse before I show up (with the occasional purchase from home when I see a great end-​of-​season closeout deal)
Do check this awesome shop out. They are there to sort you out if you have an urgent need and they are there if you want to put your hands on the top quality outdoor gear and clothing before purchasing.
If you do show up, remember to mind your children and be patient because you are on Tahoe time… Locals appreciate your willingness to chill out.

I was camping at Mt. Rose campgrounds this past weekend (7/13~7/14) and need a sleeping bag desperately. We were unprepared for the nights and Friday night was horrible. We need sleeping bags! And I’m SOOOO glad we got them. It was definitely worth the $ 170.
Staff was very knowledgeable on the products they carried. They showed us what sleeping bags they had and the price points. Based on the recommendation, we purchased 2 Slumberjack sleeping bags, that had a left zipper and right zipper so we could zip them together to make one big sleeping bag for 2.
