Award Winner 2012

Description

The Midwest's sports gurus don't put their equipment away for the winter, they just dream up new activities. In winter expect both classic and skate cross-country ski workshops, Telemark ski lessons, snowshoe demos and at least one snowshoe trip to the Spirit Hiking Trail, winter camping seminars and overnight trip, as well as their usual rock climbing, kayak tourning and open pool kayak sessions.

2012 | Best Sporting Goods

Big-box stores have taken over the commerce of everything from guitars to organic foods, and sporting goods are not exempt from the trend. That just seems...wrong.

Nowadays his place caters to the most hardcore hiking hippies and conservation nerds, who come not just for the low prices and great... More »
2009 | Best Place to Meet Single Men (Straight)

Okay, so there are tons of single guys crammed into dark, crowded Twin Cities bars, but let's face it: The ability to scope them out may be seriously hindered by alcohol. So why not look for men at a place where health is in the air and the guys are guaranteed to be fit and adorable Manly men love the outdoors, and Midwest Mountaineering is chock full of them. Saturday-afternoon shoppers can find wool socks, camping recipes, and maybe a new love interest. Another option is one of the... More »
