Established in 1972, Outpost Sunsport, a locally owned and operated outdoor retail store, started as a small backpacking and mountaineering store in Fort Collins, Colorado. Since then, Outpost has gone through many changes over the years always keeping one thing in mind: we love the outdoors.
Outpost became a specialty downhill ski shop in 1983 and added snowboarding in 1985. We pride ourselves in having created one of the finest specialty ski and snowboard shops in northern Colorado. We have received national awards including the SnowSports Industries of America Ski Retailer of the Year for the Rocky Mountains and we are constantly striving to provide the highest quality products to help everyone enjoy their outdoor passions.
Although our product selection has grown over the years to include patio furniture sales in the summer, many things have stayed the same, including providing excellent customer service to our wonderful customers and trying to make a difference in northern Colorado. Annually, we proudly support Poudre School District, Colorado State University, Foothills Gateway, Respite Care, The Gardens on Spring Creek, Colorado Open Lands and many other northern Colorado and Larimer County organizations.

Trevor, a Fort Collins native, joined the Outpost team in 2017. He grew up exploring the Rocky Mountains on skis and snowboards in the winter and backpacking and fishing in the summer. Currently, he rides Capita and Rossignol snowboards, Union bindings, and Salomon boots. His mountain of choice is Steamboat. During his free time, Trevor doubles as a photographer. With a degree in horticulture and passion for exploring new landscapes, Trevor can often be found exploring new outdoor landscapes with his camera in hand and his wife and border collies, Emery and Jaxson, by his side.

Carter has been with the Outpost team since 2018, and he loves the laid back environment and his awesome coworkers! Carter is an avid skier and loves hitting the slopes in Steamboat. During the summertime, you might catch Carter rock climbing, fishing, or enjoying Horsetooth Reservoir – or else kicking back with a cold Odell IPA. If you’re looking for great local cuisine, Carter’s pick would be Domenics. Carter’s ideal three-day weekend in the winter would be spent in a remote cabin in the backcountry of Jackson Hole!
