Last Wednesday evening, Heidi invited a bunch of other bloggers and myself to the opening of the new Sierra Trading Post store in Greenwood Village.
I have perused Sierra Trading Post‘s website before, but have never purchased anything from them. After exploring the store on the Wednesday, that is definitely going to change. If you’re unfamiliar with Sierra Trading Post, they offer name brand outdoor equipment at up to 70% off regular prices.
After a tasty Qudoba dinner (I had just come from cross country practice and was starving), we were split into groups based on a picture of a Colorado landmark stuffed into our name tags. It was a really fun way to meet and chat with different people! My team included Heather and Trevor.
Heidi and the rest of the Sierra Trading Post team planned a few competitions for all the teams to complete as a way to explore the store and get to know what it has to offer.
My team kicked butt in the unpacking, assembling, taking down, and repacking a tent competition. Good thing Tyler owned the same tent! The assembly took place in the back room of the store and it was fun to peek behind the scenes at all the racks and shelves of outdoor gear.
Knot tying did not go so well for my team, but myself in particular. I learned that I have a lot of learning to do when it comes to what specific knots are called and how to assemble them. Note to self: Don’t go rock climbing without a very skilled knot-tying companion.
Our final competition had was exploring the aisles of the store as we collected ten items that we would need when on July day trip in Canyonlands. My team did pretty well with a jacket, sun protection, food, compass, and hydration, but we failed to get some sort of shelter.
The evening ended with some photo booth randomness, chatting with Amy and her husband, David, and picking out all the things I want to buy when I have time to head back and try them on (It’s all about pant and sleeve length.).
Not how crowded the store was when we were there, but look at all those awesome clothes!
Heidi and her team really put together an entertaining evening. If you live in Denver, you should definitely go check out the new store. If you don’t, take a gander online!
