All this went down in the last week or two. So many fun customer relationships formed and re-visited. And that’s just the bikes! Trail shoes, rain jackets, climbing ropes and even some ski touring gear went out the door to stoked enthusiasts yesterday. Everyday. This is the best job and our customers are the best we could wish for. Our staff is the best I could ever dream up. And Tahoe Truckee is the best. Everything is the best. “The best” functions as a superlative, denoting the highest degree of excellence, quality, or advantage. It describes something or someone that surpasses all others. by @thebackcountry

I swear I work all the time. It’s that kind of job. Tomorrow you can test out all the climbing shoes too.
We organized a free La Sportiva shoe demo at Snowshed from 9-3pm with shop discounts offered. #eaglelakebuttress #lambertdome #murphycreek by @thebackcountry

🎁 INTRODUCING: PEAK OF THE WEEK 🎁

Adventure is about to get a little more rewarding.

We'll hide a mystery prize around many of the peaks Truckee / Tahoe. The first person to find this week's POTW wins a $25 gift card to TBC!

How to claim your treasure:
📍 Find the hidden prize
📸 Snap a photo with it
⛰️ Tag us in your post

Our goal is simple: encourage more people to get outside and explore further.

All summer long, we'll be hiding prizes throughout the Sierra, sponsored by some of our favorite brands.

All prizes are intentionally placed, clearly marked, and will be retrieved if not found within 7 days and the search will start again.

Will you join the hunt? Let us know in the comments! If people are into it, we'll keep the surprises coming all summer long. 🏔️✨ by @thebackcountry

10 super stoked locals that are riding in this weekends wet dirt on new bikes purchased at our shop! We recognize you have a LOT of options when you buy new bikes and outdoor gear! There are too many brands and choices as well. The one thing we can guarantee is that our staff is there to support you forever, not just at the time of purchase. We have 10 on staff every day to work out every repair and warranty issue that arises. We pay for shipping and build labor - and do it right. We tune your bike for FREE for a year when purchased here. And we look forward to riding with you on one of our Friday night shop rides! #shoplocal #thankyou #staffappreciation taken in The BackCountry by @thebackcountry

Best riding of the season on tap, rain coming in and most trails are snow free. Come in and grab what you need so you are ready for next weekend! We have a lot of bikes on sale. What would you buy if the price is right? I’ll make it right! #konabikes #yeticycles #pivotcycles #mondraker #norco taken in The BackCountry by @thebackcountry
