EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgeable employees!! Plus, I love supporting local establishments. Makes it special that they know what theyre talking about and treat their customers with kindness.

Good selection, very well stocked. Friendly staff who made sure we were attended to. Just slightly more expensive than normal, though for those with the money should be good. Very well organized, though dont have the vest my friend was looking for.

I went by today since I want to learn cross country skiing, Chip helped me, I have to say he was beyond helpful, he explained to me what I should look for in skis, length, width and even did a flex test to the skis he recommended for me. He was patient, and kind while providing such detailed information for me to understand the product and the reason why he was recommending that specific product. I am definitely going back.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff for mountaineering oriented activities. Good backcountry ski equipment selection. Nice local spot.

Friendly knowledgeable staff, the best place in town for technical skiing, mountaineering, and outdoors gear. Always a positive experience over the years I’ve been shopping here!

The worst place ever. Both times I went within the same week I got the worst help and had the worst experience ever. They don’t really seem to care about helping some and more eager to help others. They don’t ask any questions like they should when helping someone, and they lack a drive to help those who really need it. If I could I would give them zero stars.

Great service, very friendly staff, excellent variety and supporting a local business! This is my first time here and I will definitely be back.

The crew here is amazing and has a depth of knowledge that flows from their passion- the Alaska outdoors!The adventuring starts here with loving people.

Excellent customer service and always fully stocked with the best gear you can buy

Service was fine. However thr boots and skates I purchased didn’t end up working for me. I tried to return and was told they do not “do” returns. I spent almost $400 and now I am reduced to selling on FB. I went to AMH to support a local business. However is this is an example of service and satisfaction I will take my business back to REI.

I cant think of a better local shop than Alaska Mountaineering and Hiking. For almost 50 years, AMH has served the nordic skiing, hiking, climbing and human-powered adventure community with grace and kindness. From funding ski races, giving discounts to young racers and donating prizes to practically every event, they always go the extra mile to support local events.In the shop, their staff is extremely knowledgeable and kind without being pushy. AMH carries high end clothing and gear, but their prices are never marked up more than any other big box store. Plus, they always have a sale rack and several big sales a year where you can score current gear at major discounts. The ski wizards downstairs are always quick to turn around any gear repair...I dont know how they do it!Shop local, support the little guy, and pet the numerous shop dogs who are always roaming around the racks waiting for some attention.

Wide selection of all the things youd expect from an outdoor supply store. They carry stuff that REI doesnt. Expedition-grade. The kind of stuff youd need to climb Denali etc.

What a great local store. I’m not a crazy athletic hiking up a mountain in winter person. That being said I wanted to get out on icy trails and be safe. The kind and informative people here can set you up with crampons for your winter boots that will make sure you have a great hike and don’t fall. Highly recommend the friendly people here

Great selection on gear and very friendly staff. Gear is on the expensive side

Super helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Great staff here! They were very polite and respectful. It’s a good environment for experienced and beginner athletes.

Very pleasant and a large selection in Ski, Camping, rafting and Roller skies etc.

AMH is the best, the staff are always so friendly!

Outstanding experience every time I visit! Take my money!!

Great locally owned establishment for buying ice climbing and mountaineering gear. I dont visit too often, but every time the staff has been helpful, and Ive always found what Ive needed.

Excellent Place Friendly and Helpful Staff

Very helpful.

Customer service is fantastic!

I found the staff at AMH extremely knowledgeable and helpful. And for a small store, they had a better selection of what I was looking for compared to the big box outdoor store. Shop local!

Sales persons very helpful! Was elsewhere shopping for shoes with my wife and left due to lack of service. Everyone was welcoming.

A great shop for all your mountaineering and backcountry skiing needs...

I visit these guys for my major mountaineering needs, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful staff. If your a serious climber, various alpine activities, trekker, etc or are planning an expedition in the back country, Alaska range, Denali, etc these are the guys to call/visit...prices are right on mark and they run some decent sales. Check them out great folks that have treated me right so no hesitation recommending them.

Great service and really helpful people. Purchased cross country ski set for my son. Definitely will be back! Awesome selection of ski and hiking gear!

I love this place. They have the best beta and are always willing to impart their knowledge upon you. They usually have the gear Im looking for, and if not they will not hesitate to place a special order for you. I always have good experiences here. Its one of my favorite shops in Anchorage.

Excellent staff and gear. Highly recommended.

I certainly hope the employee that told a ladies husband that he couldnt find x large snow pants because she wasnt active enough. This employee needs to learn to not say what he thinks. I will never shop there again as Im sure many other women wont either. Think before you speak people, you could be helping the place you work for go under!!

Technical shop for expertise in mountaineering and hiking

Great local shop to suit all your backcountry needs! Lots of top quality brands like Norrøna and Arctryx.

I personally love this place. They are some of the nicest people around and can outfit you for any outdoor adventure. If you need anything like skies or just a fitting go to them

Great staff very willing to help

Definitely worth checking it out

AMH is THE place to go in Alaska for nordic ski, nordic skate, backcountry ski, and mountaineering gear. I run into their employees regularly at backcountry huts and other far-flung locations in Alaska. Staff are friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, and focused on giving back to the outdoor community. Last winter they even replaced one of my nordic skate bindings for free with spare parts after I broke it in a fall through the ice. 100% recommended.

Their customer service was very bad, they had three people helping one person. Also the skis I got waxed were waxed wrong they are combi skis being used for skate mostly but waxed as classic. Plus they seemed very scattered and disorganized. They use to be the best in town, but now it seems like they just dont care at all.

Quick interact-active staff in assisting me find what I was looking for, also provided good information on local recreational opportunities.

Nice.

Good selection of gear, prices are high but its Alaska so what else is new. I found what I needed right away and the staff was very helpful. I will definitely be going back

Well stocked store.. with a super friendly staff.

The best place to get your skiing and mountaineering gear in Anchorage, hands down.

These guys live out of passion for extreme adventure in Alaska. It is so refreshing to talk to people with this kind of experience. They know cause theyre out there. This is the place to go to gear-up and advice-up for Alaskan back-country adventuring.

Best place in town for high end outdoor and technical gear. Knowlegable.

Very friendly/knowledgeable staff, lots of high end gear. Got a great deal on a good pair of hiking boots.

They have the specialized, pro-level gear for a reasonable price, and the service is the best in town. If you have something specific in mind, this place is an excellent choice.

Best gear, great service, and locally owned. Highly recommended.

These guys are awesome. Nice to deal with a local business, folks who know their gear, and do what they can to help provide great service. Three thumbs up!

Great service!

Thank you for the great visit!

Best place in town to get your gear. Staff is always knowledgeable and will set you up with gear that works.

Extremely helpful.

Outstanding gear (especially Nordic), knowledgeable and friendly staff, competitively priced, locally owned, and they support local youth outdoor activities.

Quality merchandise and good advise on what to buy.My 14-year olds experience with salesperson named Emily was the best and very helpful in all ways.In the long run, its a good place, but the sales guy I had felt the need to keep reminding me that I was too overweight to consider cross-country skiing. He left me with a bad feeling. Im not out to be a racer, but just to keep within a reasonable distance of my kids.In sales, they say that Sampson slew Goliath with a sling made from the jawbone of an ass: thousands of sales are lost every day with the same instrument.Its just one guy so Ill go back.

Awesome gear selection and knowledgeable staff

Locally owned outdoor sports outfitter manned by Alaskans who actually hike, hunt, climb, ski, board and etc. If you need gear this is a great place.

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff. I always check AMH to see if they have what I need before heading to REI because although they have a smaller inventory they have great quality gear.

A old school locally-owned and operated outdoor gear store. Skip REI and shop here, not as many soft goods, but much better hard goods. A curated selection picked by locals, not corporates in the lower 48. I just wish they could carry even more bc touring ski gear, but I guess xc nordic nerds need a store too.

High quality merch, friendly knowledgeable staff

Its a locally owned store and everyone who works there is incredibly knowledgeable.

Helpful, professional staff with good knowledge of gear and equipment

The staff is a very knowledgeable and helpful. They also informed me of upcoming sales on products I was considering purchasing so I could take advantage of the discounts.

Great Alaskan outdoors store with very knowledgeable staff.

AMH is the BEST in the business. Professional advice, friendly service and reasonable prices.

AMH is the best option for all of you XC and BC skiing needs. Shop local!

Ask these guys anything ya wanna know about packrafts, skis, and climbing equipment.

This is a great store with an excellent assortment.

Sorry about the removal of the flags. I was an innocent bystander.

Awesome small shop with really knowledgeable staff!

(this review was written on behalf of my spouse)January 6, 2017 i bought a pair of backcountry skis, bindings, boots and goggles from AMH. We live 250 mile round-trip from AMH so skis were left for binding install. Was told to leave one boot and take the other with as they did not want it around the storeCame back to get skis and was told they need both boots. Left and sent other boot back by mail.Two weeks later took skis home and when adjusting heel release (DIN) found, after consulting specs on the internet that i needed the next lower level Marker binding. Returned skis for appropriate binding. When i asked why i was not sold the appropriate binding the sales person replied that i should have looked at the chart on the wall.Later, i noticed that the low-light lens for goggles was wrong lens.March 7, i was notified the skis were ready. AMH refused to pay for shipping or to use a courier service.Spouse picked up skis on March 20 and returned a low-light goggle lens in exchange for the correct lens.The exchange lens was also incorrect so it was returned for a refund and the correct lens will be gotten from a more competent store.

Have much equipment geared for ice climbing. The staff seems to know their stuff. Did not do a price comparison however.

All the gear you need to get outside and its locally owned. Whats not to love?

Great selection, great knowledgeable staff, good prices.

High quality technical great

One of the best gear stores in the nation. By far. Without a doubt. Their product selection is excellent. Truly excellent. They carry many of the best in class products in a wide variety of categories--from ice screws to down parkas to backcountry ski bindings--as well as products from a wide variety of premium brands. Based on my five or so visits over the last year, Ive found that about half of their employees are very knowledgable, i.e. experts, and the other half are above average e.g. better than 99% of the REI retail employees Ive interacted with.

Best Nordic Skiing shop in Alaska. Period.

Most things you need for hiking in alaska. I didnt see only 8000m rated stuff which is handy to climb Denali.

Great for year round technical gear

Great place, helpful staff.

By far the best shop around..

Great staff, very knowledgeable and helpful!

Best outdoor store in AK

Great store!

Knowledge people and a local institution

Condescending with terrible support of their own featured products

Great service and suggestions. Very helpful
