Alpine Shop’s Top 5 Hiking Boots for Spring

Despite the unceasing stream of bad news, spring is still coming. The rain will stop, the days will brighten, and the world will turn green again. If you’re dreading days of isolation, it may just be time to take a hike.

At Alpine Shop, we’ve got top-rated hiking boots to get you back to nature this season. The best part? Hiking is the original “social distancing.”

Our Top 5 Picks for Hiking this Spring

Salomon Quest

These boots were voted best for rugged terrain according to Switch Back Travel, and fans call them tough and supportive, yet comfortable. Updated just last year, these shoes were redesigned to provide a more flexible platform for comfort and an improved outsole for grip. We love Salomon Quest because they include technology designed to reduce fatigue. With seam-sealed GORE-TEX membranes, they’ll keep your feet dry, too. We think you’ll find them stable, cushioning, and perfect for your next backpacking trip.

Oboz Sawtooth II

These are new in stock, and we couldn’t be happier to offer them to our hikers.

Oboz has a reputation for designing comfortable footwear, and the Sawtooth II model is no exception. Plush on the inside and tough on the outside, these boots are perfect for your next camping trip. We like the breathable mesh paneling and the lighter weight of these shoes, which fit snugly around your ankle. Oboz shoes have an O FIT Insole, a proprietary feature that gives you an unbeatable fit.

Vasque St. Elias GTX

Our next pick is the updated St. Elias GTX. Don’t let their rather clunky appearance fool you. These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. They’re also flexible and sturdy, which makes them perfect for long distance hikes. Plus, they feature a waterproof leather upper and a GORE-TEX membrane to keep your toes nice and dry. We love these shoes because, while they have a classic boot look, they’re still nice and nimble on the trail.

Merrell Moab 2

If you aren’t familiar with this brand, you soon will be. Some hikers say that Merrell Moab boots set the standard for footwear. What makes the Moab so popular? The reasonable price is one factor. They’re also lightweight and comfy, with a supportive footbed and Vibram traction. With a waterproof membrane and lots of arch support, these hikers will carry you across any terrain.

Keen Targhee III

This is another product that comes with a reasonable price tag and comfort from the first wear. We call the Keen line iconic because it’s been popular since its inception, known to be reliable for day hiking and weekend camping trips. These shoes offer a waterproof yet breathable membrane and a stable heel. They’re durable and stylish enough to become your go-to favorite this season.

All of these choices are ready to wear and durable enough to hold up to rough trail conditions and spring rains. They’re perfect for when you can’t take one more moment in the house. Want more recommendations? Contact us at Alpine Shop or visit our online store!

Kids Stuck at Home? Outdoor Play Ideas and Products – to Help You Keep Your Sanity!

According to the experts, parents all over the country may need to rethink group play dates, soccer games, and even local playground jungle gyms. Why?

“There is evidence corona viruses can live on plastic and metal for up to nine days,” explains Dr. Asaf Bitton, a primary care physician. “We really want to be mindful about reducing … interpersonal contact and any potential spread.”

Parents may want to opt for outdoor activities that are individual, like biking or hiking. If sports equipment isn’t shared, and kiddos can keep more of a distance from one another, it’s safer during this era of social distancing.

We know it’s not news that you ever wanted to hear. But we also know that there is plenty you and your kids can do outdoors without increasing the risk of spreading the virus to other families. We can help with our top ten suggestions and products to get you through this quarantine period.

10 Outdoor Activities for Kids

(1) Biking

Nothing boosts the spirits more than hopping on a bike and speeding down the trail. It’s an individual sport kids can do, even during a quarantine like the one we’re facing. Families can get into the fun with bike obstacle courses in a yard or park, or bike “car washes” in the backyard if it’s warm enough outside. If you need a new bicycle for your child, or if you need to stock up on helmets or other supplies, we have it all in stock.

(2) Hiking

Hiking is another activity that allows your kids to explore nature, relieve stress, and work off some energy, all while keeping a safe distance from other children. We recommend hiking for everyone, actually, as a way to keep active during this time. At the moment, Missouri State Parks and St. Louis County Parks remain open and ready to be explored.

(3) Outdoor Art and Games

If you aren’t near a park, but need to give your kids some outdoor time, consider giving them some sidewalk chalk and sending them out to the front stoop. We also recommend camping games like disc golf, or this freestyle barrel toss game available at Alpine Shop. We even have Backpack Bocce.

Games like these are simple to set up and can be a lifesaver for working-at-home parents.

(4) Become a Wildlife Expert

Want to make outdoor time educational? Have your kids become neighborhood wildlife experts. Kids can make a list of the animals that live in the neighborhood, or become experts on plants, flowers, birds, and insects they can see around their home.

At Alpine Shop, we offer resources and books for budding naturalists.

(5) Outdoor Chores

For fans of old-school-style parenting, you could always put your kiddos to work outside, washing cars, picking up twigs, pulling weeds, or mowing the lawn. If that’s not as successful as you hoped, have them raid the garage for old Amazon boxes and make a cardboard fort out of them.

(6) Spring Gardening

Turn those chores into something fun and educational: have your children help you plant a spring garden. With a packet of seeds and our rainy spring weather, you can watch the plants grow until we’re given the all-clear to roam freely again.

(7) Backyard Camping

Plan a picnic or a backyard camping trip! Kids will love setting up the tent and spending time outdoors. With camping chairs and a hammock, your kids will have everything they need to stay out of your hair. You can even teach them important real-world skills, like how to build a campfire, pitch a tent, or keep away from poison ivy. One of our favorite products in our camping line is the Stargaze Camp Chair.

(8) Treasure Hunts & Obstacle Courses

If you have the patience to set it up, treasure hunts can be a lot of fun for kids. Depending on how many objects you hide around the house and in the yard, they can last a while, too. Hide 10 or 15 “treasures” and give kids clues to find them. Another option? Set up an outdoor obstacle course for kids – or, if children are old enough, have them create one themselves!

(9) Easter Egg Hunts

It may be early for Easter, but Easter Egg Hunts are easy outdoor activities that kids love to do over and over again. Want to make it more educational? Put vocabulary words or math problems in the eggs and make it a part of homeschooling.

(10) Recess

Many parents out there are suddenly discovering that they’re required to be teachers, too. The good news is that even home-schoolers need recess. Get those kids outside with a jumping rope or a yoga video and make sure they’re getting fresh air and exercise during the day. Ask your kids what their favorite recess games are. Together, you can come up with a list of outdoor activities and games. Setting a schedule for learning is great, but you and your kids all need breaks and playtime.

Complete Guide to Staying Dry for Spring

Are you waiting eagerly for spring like we are? Rain or shine, nothing’s going to stop us from hitting the trail this season. However, since we do tend to get spring showers and thunderstorms, it’s worth it to take a look at waterproof – and waterproofing – gear at Alpine Shop. Keep reading for our recommendations and a few tips to keep yourself cozy and dry, no matter what kind of weather you face.

Top 5 Waterproof Jackets at Alpine Shop

If you’re in the market for a new waterproof jacket, we can help with our list of the Top 5 here at Alpine Shop.

#1 – Patagonia Stretch Rainshadow Jacket

This top-notch product from Patagonia is lightweight and packable, but it offers some of the best protection available with a 2.5-layer stretch nylon shell. Don’t take our word for it. This outside reviewer lists the Rainshadow Jacket in their top 10, commenting that the product “will keep you dry in everything from drizzle to light snowfall.” We like it because it has a ton of cool features and because, like many of Patagonia’s products, it’s made from 100% recycled material. Plus, this jacket is currently 30% off!

#2 – Patagonia Torrentshell

Our second product on the list is also from Patagonia: the trusted and reasonably priced Torrentshell. Coolhikinggear.com calls this popular product “a functional and no nonsense rain jacket” perfect for when “you need performance and protection from the elements when you’re out on the hills.” This one is another 2.5 layer jacket treated with Patagonia’s Deluge DWR finish to give it a high waterproof rating. For unpretentious protection, it can’t be beat.

#3 – Marmot PreCip Eco Jacket

Marmot took its bestselling PreCip and boosted performance and sustainability to create this eco-friendly jacket. At $100, it’s well worth the investment. We like it because it’s sturdy, durable, and PFC-free. While some reviewers have found it to be a little clammy at times, we think that if you pair this jacket with the correct wicking base layers, you stay cool and dry. We’re big fans of this versatile wardrobe staple.

#4 – North Face Venture 2

The Venture 2 for Women has been updated with new fabric and a sleek style. Its breathable DryVent 2.5-layer membrane keeps you warm and dry, even in the worst stormy weather. REI names this jacket the “best all-around multisport,” perfect for any adventure. We love its breathability and its adjustable hood.

#5 – Columbia Watertight II

With a sale price of less than $60, this is a solid choice for hikers on a budget. The Watertight II offers zippered hand pockets, wrist cinchers, and an adjustable hood in addition to its ultralight shell.

Waterproofing Tips and Terms to Know

When you go shopping for rainy weather gear, it’s helpful to know the difference between waterproof and water-resistant, among other terms.

When we use the term waterproof, we mean that the product is completely impermeable to water. Water resistant, on the other hand, means that the product can resist water to a great degree, but not entirely.

While most light rain jackets and inexpensive windbreakers are water-resistant, they aren’t entirely waterproof. They’ll keep you dry in a drizzle, but they’re useless in a heavy downpour. To be deemed fully waterproof, jackets need either a built-in barrier like Gore-Tex and/or an outer coating like DWR (durable water repellent) and fully taped seams.

Washing and Protecting Your Gear

Some people think that they can protect their waterproof gear by not washing it; actually, the opposite is true. Here’s why.

To be effective, a waterproof jacket needs a couple of things: a durable water repellent (DWR) coating that will bead water and keep it out and clean layers that allow air to pass through. To keep those layers clean, and to keep your jacket doing what it’s supposed to, it’s important to wash the product regularly. When you do, be sure to check the label for specific instructions. Generally, we recommend washing the jacket in warm water, rinsing it well, and hanging it to dry.

If you notice that your once-reliable jacket isn’t beading up water the way it used to, you may need to reapply DWR. This will help you keep your jacket for another few seasons. To reapply DWR, all you need is a spray-on product. At Alpine Shop, we offer the Nikwax TX Direct Spray-On, which works very well.

We also carry a dual washing/waterproofing product by Nikwax, if you prefer. If you have questions about your jacket’s performance, don’t hesitate to give us a call. One of our staff members will be happy to help!

Visit Alpine Shop for Waterproof Gear and More

In addition to waterproof jackets and DWR sprays, we have top-of-the-line hiking boots, cozy socks, and everything else you might need for springtime sports. Visit our shop or explore online for the best waterproof gear in the area. Or find all of our men’s and women’s rain jackets here.

Where to Find Winter Sports in Missouri

Where to Find Winter Sports in Missouri

Skiing? In Missouri?

If you’re used to the thrilling peaks of Colorado or Utah, it may surprise you to learn that you can find places for winter sports right here in Missouri.

There’s plenty to do here, from sledding down Art Hill to hiking some of the beautiful Missouri trails.

Here are our recommendations for skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, and hiking in our very own Midwestern winter wonderland.

Ski Hidden Valley

Formerly owned by Peak Resorts, Hidden Valley has recently come under the operation of Vail Resorts. Skiers in the Missouri area are excited about this change, because they’ll now have ski passes to their home base, as well as mountain resorts all over the country.

If you’re staying close to home this winter, Hidden Valley is a great spot for both novice and experienced skiers. With 17 trails, 9 lifts, and 65 ski-able acres, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ski or snowboard. There’s no need to worry about a lack of snow here in the heartland; this resort creates its own snow. Lessons for all ages and abilities are available at their Snowsports Academy. Plus, there’s a popular tubing area for non-skiers

Ski Snow Creek

Skiers in the Kansas City area can hone their skills at Snow Creek. This resort features 14 trails and a vertical drop of 300 feet. Like Hidden Valley, it provides snow, whether Mother Nature is cooperating or not. Snow Creek also boasts a spacious lodge with places to eat, drink, or relax by the fire. This resort is located just 40 miles north of Kansas City in Weston, Missouri.

Winter Hiking in Missouri

If you’re not a skier but still want to get out and enjoy what this state has to offer, consider a winter hike. There are plenty of beautiful trails that are open all year long:

Prairie State Park – Hike with the buffalo or check out Drover’s Trail in this beautiful state park located in Mindenmines, Missouri.
Katy Trail – Start in Rocheport, Missouri, for a beautiful trail head that features views of the Missouri River. The towering limestone bluffs are even more stunning when they’re dusted with a light layer of snow.
Klondike Lake – Near Augusta is the Klondike Lake Park, which – while not as mountainous as the Yukon – still boasts some beautiful winter scenery.
Taum Sauk Mountain – With the tallest waterfall in the state of Missouri, the Mina Sauk Trail gives you a chance to see it in its frozen glory in the wintertime.
Crowder State Park – Over 17 miles of trails, some along a frozen lake, make this park in Trenton, Missouri, a must during the winter season.

Ice Skating in Missouri

Ice skating is for everyone, young and old. It’s a great family activity, and many Missourians have made it a winter tradition. There are great skating rinks in Missouri; here are just a few:

Steinberg Skating Rink – The Steinberg in Forest Park is the biggest outdoor skating rink around. Open daily to the public, it’s the most popular winter spot in St. Louis, hands down. Don’t forget your camera. You’ll want to take a few selfies while you’re here.
Centenne Community Ice Center – This brand new spot in Maryland Heights, Missouri, is where the Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues practice! It’s also open to the public, and it offers four NHL-size ice rinks as well as a covered outdoor rink for general public skating.
Burlington Creek – If you’re traveling to Kansas City, put this spot on your list. The outdoor rink at Burlington Creek offers skating lessons and annual events for the kids.
Crown Center Ice Terrace – Those of us who grew up in Kansas City are familiar with this ice skating rink; it features in our winter memories. The Crown Center Ice Terrace has been around for over 50 years, and it’s a great place to go with the family.

Visit Alpine Shop for Warm Winter Gear and More Tips

At Alpine Shop, we have the base layers, ski goggles, winter coats, and cold weather gear you need to make the most of the season. Our staff loves to snowboard and hike, so we’re sure to have more tips for you as well. Stop in for a visit!

RESULTS 08-15-19 | Conquering Cardiac

BALLWIN, MO – When you name a course after a hill titled “Cardiac Hill,” you’d expect times to go up. Instead, the 218 runners that tackled the “Cardiac Course” at Castlewood State Park on Thursday, August 15, pushed the pace up a notch compared to the week before. The approximately 4 mile race featured two substantial climbs, including the previously mentioned “Cardiac Hill” and also saw participants make their first finish-line-crossing of Kiefer Creek.

Jon-Paul LaVenture hits the creek crossing right before the finish line on Thursday night’s Race 3 of the 2019 Trail Run Series.

Once again, Jon-Paul LaVenture (37, Ballwin) was the first to cross through the Alpine Shop arch in a time of 26:28.5, more than a minute faster than last week’s second-place runner, Andy Rains (26, Ballwin, 27:43.2). Josh Wright (41, Kirkwood), who took third place last week, as well, crossed the finish line in 28:19.3 to round out the top three in the overall standings. Those three will also hold the points lead heading into the final race of the 2019 Series next week.

Women’s winner for the second straight week, Jaime Maher, hits the full depth of Keifer Creek near the end of the race.

For the women’s open category, Jaime Maher (36, St. Louis), last week’s winner, took first once again in a time of 33:04.9, beating last week’s second place finisher, Lory Cooper (32, St. Louis, 33:37.9), to the line by just over 30 seconds. Repeating the “familiarity” theme of this year’s races, Yuting Huang (28, Ballwin), last week’s third place woman, took – you guessed it – third place with a time of 35:34.8.

Men’s Master’s winner, Chris Martel (center, “1”), heads out with the lead group at the start of Race 3 of the 2019 Trail Run Series.

Chris Martel (53, Francis Park) won his 11th straight masters Trail Run Series race with a final time of 29:38.7 (7th overall). Eric Buckley (56, St. Louis, 31:42.6) was second in the division for the second straight week. And Ryan Yoch (56, O’Fallon, IL, 32:07.0) returned to the top three after taking second during the first week’s race. On the women’s side, Kate Dewey (51, Chesterfield) took home her third straight win with a time of 38:24.6, with Sherri Schultz (50, Chesterfield, 39:56.5) and Julie Dobslaw (51, University City, 40:48.0) once again, taking second and third, respectively.

Women’s Master’s winner, Kate Dewey heads down the hill to the creek near the end of Race 3 of the 2019 Trail Run Series.

The final race of the 2019 Alpine Shop Trail Run Series will take place next Thursday night, August 22 at 6:15 pm.

More than 400 Runners Celebrate Spring at The North Face Shaw Bloom Trail 10k/20k

2019 The North Face Shaw Bloom Trail 10k winner Sam Aufmuth ran away from the field, literally. His closest competitor was more than five minutes behind him over the 6.2 mile course

GREY SUMMIT, Mo. – Officially, spring began last week. For the 403 runners who participated in the 2019 The North Face Shaw Bloom Trail 10k/20k on Saturday, March 23, spring definitely arrived with absolutely pristine conditions for a trail run at the Shaw Nature Reserve just west of St. Louis.
