Born in the Mountains, For the Mountains
Summit Ridge Outfitters wasn't founded in a boardroom; it was conceived on a summit. As lifelong hikers, climbers, and skiers in Banff, we grew tired of gear that couldn't handle the harsh, unpredictable reality of the Canadian Rockies. We only stock products we've personally field-tested and trust. Our philosophy is simple: if it's not good enough for us, it's not good enough for you.

Local Trail Reports
Updated: October 26, 9:15 AM
Healy Pass is experiencing early season snow; microspikes are highly recommended. Low visibility above the treeline. The road to Moraine Lake is now closed for the season. Good time for valley bottom hikes like Johnston Canyon.
Gear Tip of the Week:
With temperatures dropping, switch to a 4-season canister fuel for better stove performance at elevation. It can make a significant difference in your cooking efficiency!
