This is the place to outfit the family for a foray into the outdoors, whether it's skiing in the Sandias or camping...or just venturing to the park in the rain.

Baby and kid stuff abounds: look for high-quality baby joggers, bike trailers, and trail packs; family camping gear; kids' bikes and helmets; performance footwear; skis and snow gear; rain gear, outdoorsy toys, and rugged, stylish clothes for kids of all ages (Patagonia, Cherry Tree, Gramicci).

Rent children's downhill skis, snowboards, and snowshoes, children's and toddler's cross-country skis, gear sleds, and tents, and mountaineering gear. Not all stores carry all gear; check on availability by clicking on "Stores/Events" at the Web site, then by choosing an individual store and looking in the right-hand sidebar for a gear rental link. Rental fees average about $18/first day - fees depend on membership status and equipment type.
