Every day we need to Get Outside and Take Five. A great reminder from jazz legend Dave Brubeck.

Our customers’ responses to this year’s Cyber Deals were far beyond anything we’d ever experienced on AlpineShop.com before. So far beyond, in fact, that our site did not function as it should have at many times during the past three days (November 26–28). We apologize if our site has been unresponsive while you’ve tried to shop with us.

We thank you for your business, and we hope you’ll bear with us as we work to discover the exact cause of the problem. We have a plan in place to attack these issues and hope to have them all implemented in by early next week. Our goal, as always, is to accommodate each and every one of our customers who are looking to shop with us on-line at alpineshop.com as seamlessly as possible.

If you have found any problems while shopping at alpineshop.com, we ask you to either leave a comment below, send an e-mail to customercare (at) alpineshop.com or call us at 1-888-347-2879. We want to do everything we can to make your experience with Alpine Shop as perfect as possible.

Small Business Saturday

Saturday, November 24 is a big day for everyone at Alpine Shop. It’s the third annual Small Business Saturday, when people across the country come out and shop to support their favorite local businesses. We celebrate our 39th birthday here in the St Louis area next month and we look forward to serving your outdoor adventure needs for 39 more thanks to your continued patronage to a local small business.

To celebrate this day, we will provide $50 in Alpine Shop Cash to the first 25 people to walk through the doors of any of our three stores. This Alpine Shop Cash will work pretty much like cash (with some exceptions) and will only be good on Small Business Saturday, 11/24, during normal store hours. You can also get a one-time $25 statement credit from American Express when you use your registered or linked American Express Card on Small Business Saturday to make a purchase of $25 or more at a small business.

We hope to see you in our stores on Saturday, Nov. 26!

Black Friday Specials

While we’re big fans of any day that has become as synonymous with shopping as Black Friday is, we’ve never been that excited at the prospect of standing in line for hours only to find out that the store had exactly two of the heavily promoted items you were looking for and both were grabbed two seconds after open.

So, we offer something similar to what we do on Small Business Saturday. We’ll provide $25 in Alpine Shop Cash to the first 25 people who walk through our doors at any of our locations. They’re only good that day, Friday, Nov. 23; but they work just like cash in our stores (with a few exceptions). See you then!

Hot Chillys has you covered from top to bottom!

These soft baselayers feel like your favorite old tshirt! They are a great introduction into the world of layering for the winter weather. Hot Chillys Midweight Performance Base Layers all use MTF (moisture transfer fiber) technology and “Chilly Seasonings” to move moisture away from your body while still holding in body heat. The Relaxed Fit sizing from Hot Chillys make a great piece to wear around town as well as layered to keep you warm.

Whether you are hiking at Castlewood State Park, mountain biking on Chubb Trail, tubing or skiing at Hidden Valley, or trail running at Cliff Cave Park, grab a pair of Hot Chillys to keep you toasty on the go!
