LOCAL BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT👇🏼 Mike Meador, co

LOCAL BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT👇🏼

Mike Meador, co-owner and lead mechanic at Glacier Cyclery & Nordic, is as approachable as he looks, if you like the humble, witty, cool-nice-guy type. 🤩

For Glacier Cyclery & Nordic, biking and skiing go hand in hand. Meador explains, “We’re a bike shop that sells Nordic gear. That said, we all Nordic ski. And a lot of the customers are crossover customers.”

Despite the challenges brought by the recent explosion of tourism in Whitefish (bikes & bike maintenance are in high demand!) Meadow stays positive:

“It’s just great to see so many people getting out of their cars and getting outside.”

LOCAL BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT 👇🏽 Mark and Gordon

LOCAL BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT 👇🏽
Mark and Gordon Pirrie from @western_outdoor on Main Street in downtown Kalispell are just about the nicest people you’ve ever met.

Gordon Pirrie, Mark and Susan’s father, bought into Western Outdoor as a partner in 1970 and eventually became the sole owner, passing it on to his children in the 1990s. Beth Pirrie, Mark’s wife, owns @normssodafountain next door.

Western Outdoor serves customers “all over the board,” Pirrie says. “We carry boots for the entry-level tourist on up to the hardcore working-level ranchers. Everyone from firefighters to bankers to casual wear. Anyone that would wear a boot, we kind of hit it.”

Boots, hats, and damn good milkshakes. What more could you want ❤️ Shop local!

"I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all this!” – Rich guy flying off into space inside of a questionably shaped rocket.

Buy local 😀 Amazon will be fine without your money.

Take a look at this local badass couple, then check THIS out:

She was half of the first all-woman climbing team up The Nose of El Capitan in Yosemite. He made the fourth American ascent of the north face of Eiger and free soloed 5.10s in Yosemite back when that was pure madness.

In our story “Rock Solid”, climbing all-stars Molly Bruce Higgins and Larry Bruce reflect on a lifetime of adventuring together.
