I wish I could rate my experience here higher then five stars. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Set us up with everything we needed to rent and give us recommendations on where to go for the best hiking locally. Would definitely recommend renting your gear from them.

A friendly local shop for all kinds of outdoor activities. I really like their camping section. They have good quality products.

Amazing service. Took my daughter to buy new shoes for cross country. Wynter, I believe her name was, spent time with my daughter to make sure she was getting the best fit shoe for the type of runs she was doing. Awesome customer service and prices matched what you would find online.

Looking for a good pair of shoes for my husband and his foot doctor recommended a pair of Hokas. We went to Beaver Sports and were so impressed with the young lady helping us. Her name is Winter and she was kind, professional and VERY knowledgeable about the shoes. I will go back again because if her.

I was able to find the shoes I needed at a competitive internet price. Pricing and item availability have consistently been great here.

The Beaver Sports crew are very respectful and kind. I was able to find the perfect bikes for my wife and I. Though they were very busy towards the end of the day, they stayed open after closing hours to make sure I was taken care of with everything I needed. Beaver has a wide selection of bikes for the Fairbanks area. You get what you pay for with the quality and durability of Specialized and Kona bikes.

Went to buy cross country shoes. Ben immediately analyzed my stride, brought multiple options and colors out, and gave helpful information about the shoes.✅✅

Lots of awesome products, lots of variety but the service could be a little better.

Bruce was awesome!! Spent at least 20 min explaining the I s and outs of snowshoes to a Midwesterner. Very happy and LIVE your store! Beats the pants off over-priced, low stock REI.

Great place wonderful people to be around very helpful

Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff!! Great selection of gear. Competitive or better prices versus the big box outfitter. They can special order gear if they don’t have it in stock.

The service was excellent, the sales person Winter was very knowledgeable about helping me find the shoes or boots for my feet, when ever I shop for foot wear at Beaver Sports I ask for Winter. Beaver Sports is wonderful store to shop with Bruce and all of his friendly staff.

Excellent selection of high quality bikes, skis, packs, clothing, boats - pretty much everything you need to get outside and enjoy Alaska during any season. I still have gear in rotation that I purchased at Beaver Sports over 20 years ago. Knowledgeable staff, great location and cool setup. Overall one of the best gear stores you’ll find anywhere. They also support the local community and many outdoor events which is an added bonus.

Courteous, responsive help while shoe shopping. So very appreciated.

Excellent service, knowledgeable staff.Have been a customer for over 25 years and they always have a good selection of running gear, and ski gear, with helpful staff. My family go to place for all kinds of outdoor adventure.

For twenty years, Beaver Sports has been my go-to for equipment AND repairs for Nordic skiing, trail running (summer and winter), biking (summer and winter), as well as great winter gear. Their staff is top of the line and exceptionally knowledgeable. I have NEVER had a regrettable experience at Beaver Sports and always learn something new when I’m there. :)

I worked with Bruce over the phone about some product info. Two times. I asked many questions. Bruce knew the answers or found them quickly.He never acted tired of answering my questions and he was genuine in his position.I would highly recommend The Beaver .

Gobe and his dad are badass. Picked up this sweet ride from em. Super professional, super cool, & super Alaska.

Really a great store to get what you need to get outside, both gear and information! Extremely knowledgeable and honest employees.

Beaver Sports is awesome! Stocked with great gear and friendly, RAD staff. They also hold fun, free events, like the summer canoe races on the Chena. I love popping over to prep for adventures, look at clothes, then stop by Lanes Tacos or Hot Licks for a treat :)

I was trying to beat impending incursion of single digit and sub zero temps coming to Chicago area. My 10 year old BarMitts were getting pretty out dated. . .Son living in AK gave Beaver Sports great rating and I was lucky enough to score last pair of Dogwood Designs Poagies.Incredibly, they arrived faster than the Arctic air. They have been (aside from yellow color/beggar cant be choser) excellent-just back from 20 miler Sunday ride with temp of blistering 5 degrees above/WC -20. Toasty hands.Staff at Beaver Sports were great. Great shipping. Great product. Whats not to like. . .

Very pleased with ski boot fitting service. Bruce is the man and corrected issues I had with my boots and liners when other shops in town could not(or at least didnt know how). Definitely a fan of Beaver Sports!

Great customer service, friendly, and very knowledgeable.

Super helpful team. Helped us special-order exactly the canoe we wanted. Knowledgeable and easy to work with!

Very friendly and experienced stuff !

Beaver Sports always provides all my team and I with all we need. If they do not have the necessary item, they are willing to order it. Being a ski coach in Fairbanks would be really hard with them. They always save us last minute with missing wax!

Great bike service from the shop. Wide range of everything needed for the active Alaskan lifestyle and always willing to help.

Best outdoor gear shop in Fairbanks, they have everything you could possibly need for your adventures!

Beaver Sports is a steadfast, community focused business thats been around for decades. They sell and service outdoor equipment including ski, bike, kayak, climbing, and running gear. They also sponsor lots of local sports teams, and many employees and the owners are very active in the community. When looking for gear I usually go here first.

The service was outstanding. Could not be happier with the outcome.

What an amazing store with an amazing selection of outdoor gear at good prices. Rented some snowshoes here and had a very helpful gentleman walk us through the process. Return was super easy as well.

Im in love! Bought my bike and all necessary accessories with Emmett - fantastic service and exceptional knowledge. Ive been in for 2 questions and the guys in the shop are always happy to help. I have also taken my mom and a friend in for hiking boots which they are so pleased with. I cannot commend them enough so go see for yourself and youll know you made the right choice supporting this local business!

Equipment for biking, running, camping hiking, swimming, winter sports, and others can all be found here. Very wide selections over three floors.

Beaver spots is a awesome place to find any outdoor gear you could possibly need! Go check them out and get ready for winter!

Good local store for outdoor needs. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of great items and good seasonal items. Great sales between summer and winter.

Staff on the floor is generally pretty friendly, but Ive gone in a few times to scope out bikes and found that they didnt have much knowledge about the bikes in store to answer my questions (and even gave wrong info when I checked it later on company websites). Outdoor gear and bike selection is good, but not too impressed with bike maintenance.

Awesome place, super friendly staff. Will recommend and visit again.

Really awesome customer service! The bike shop found the exact parts I needed to get back on the road, thank you!

Great amount of outdoor stuff to do anything and everything outdoors. The staff has someone who is knowledgeable about each discipline of outdoor activities. The prices are steep but you get what you pay for.

Bruce was a great help!! I appreciate his willingness to help me figure out my ski issues!

You can either buy a cheap bike from Wal-Mart or Freds that will break down in a few months or a quality one from here. My favorite moment from here is paying $25.00 to fix my flat tire.

Terrific shop with people who know their stuff. Also have a Thursday night bicycle ride that is a lot of fun!

Great place to go for outdoor gear.

Great place to shop for anything outdoors! We bought three backpacks there today and they stayed open late to help me decide which one I liked best. Much bigger than it looks from outside.

Shop at Beaver if you want to pay retail prices and a lousy return policy. The Plethora of online retailers with free shipping, great prices, and free return shipping is a far better option than making the trek to Beaver. First off, my wife bought a pair of cross-country skis, with the manager helping us make our selection, and refused to throw in a wax when the bindings were mounted. I have lived in the mountains since I was a toddler, have a habit of walking into ski shops everywhere I go, and I have never seen another shop in the lower 48 that will not offer a free first wax when you plop down 500+ dollars.Very few items in Beaver a priced below MSRP and when they are, it is an item or two on clearance (15-25% off) and sold with a zero-return policy. The small shop, shipping to Fairbanks issue is no excuse. Although some competitors in town charge full price for items as well, they offer lifetime service on skis and bikes, plus some true world class athletes with extensive product knowledge to help when you need it. Most days strolling through Beaver, I have to walk up to the counter to get any service or product advice. This kind of rings with the Fairbanks style of customer service, but is absolutely no excuse, especially not at the prices they are putting on their goods.One place this shop does good with is in the shoe department downstairs. The high school kids down there are really enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the shoes. It is like an entirely different store downstairs.

Great members of the community and they have all the gear you need to get you outside!

I dont go here, it makes me claustrophobic the one time I went. They have a good selection of your outdoor needs. You can test out the running shoes on a treadmill, which is a welcomed feature that you dont see to often. The employees were nice and helpful.

I have been going to Beaver Sports since the early 90s. I feel a sense of community pride that we have such a great out door store. I have used some of my equipment pretty hard and have had good stuff break on occasion. They have always gone above and beyond to take care of the problem. They are without hype and seem to know that careful consideration and deliberation is critical because most of the gear that they sell is going to last a long time. The other day I purchased a bike rack after picking their brains most of the summer. When the clerk asked me if I needed help getting it out to my car, little did I know that Bruce, the top dog would come out from his office and wheel it out to my car. He said, Heck we may as well go ahead and mount it on your trailer hitch. He spent the next 30 minutes getting to tools, installing the hitch, and showing me how to work it. Folks, it just doesnt get any better than that. They will always have my business and loyalty.

Went in, had multiple associates offer assistance. Great selection. Prices comparable to local economy.

A locally staffed, owned and operated outdoor store - but wait, theres more! They bring a lot to this community in the form of partnerships. Whether you are getting ready for boating season with some inflatable boat patches in the paddling center, or getting advice on the right ski wax, you know when you shop at Beaver Sports they support for local businesses like Nomadic Stars and non profits like KUAC, Public Radio and TV for Alaskas Interior.

Terrible customer service. I went in to have my flat tire fixed. I was there right as the shop opened because I really needed my flat tire fixed.After being rudely directed to the bike repair shop, I was told I wouldnt be able to pick up my bike until the next day. I explained that I couldnt wait that long because my bike is my bike is my transport. The sales guy quickly replied that they could have it done...in a few hours. Maybe two. But that I should just come back and check.I left my bike there for three hours. When I returned, it took the clerks fifteen whole minutes to locate my ticket so that I could pay. $23 later, I have a working bike, but I will not be back.$23 is highway robbery for a simple flat fix, especially when the tire was fine and only the tubing needed replacing. It also should not take three hours. I have had previous flats fixed in fifteen minutes. While the shop is conveniently located to my house, will gladly trek somewhere else for future needs.

Good prices, very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Prices are generally similar to elsewhere, they do have some great sales sometimes.

Very prompt service, staff is extremely friendly and selection and prices are superb. Hans Personius helped to fix my ski boot at no charge while Nick showed me ski gear. Would absolutely recommend shopping here, best outdoors store in Alaska!

Great service and prices

I came here for running shoes and left with a lot more. They have a fantastic selection of all kinds of quality sporting goods, from bikes and frisbees for disc golf to camping, hiking, and climbing gear. As far as running, they have a treadmill and camerabto fully analyze your running profile and a wide selection of shoes to fit your needs! The salespeople are all courteous and knowledgeable and genuinely care about your needs. Fantastic shopping experience and very happy with what they recommended!

Very friendly and capable staff. Huge selection of various sporting goods. Several helpful services from ski and board maintenance to bike assistance. Excellent store for sporting goods of any season.

One of the bike shops Fairbanks. Its local which is a huge plus. Its higher end bikes and equipment, but the staff is knowledgeable. Most of all, you get what you pay for. When I was just looking, I never felt like I was being pressured or steered toward an item that was wrong for me. The were very helpful to my husband when he needed his bike fixed and then when he bought his much adored Fat Tire Bike.

Love the local vibe. REI was ransacked at the start of hunting season so they sent me here. Slightly pricey for the gear but the local vibe and fun staff knew there stuff which made it definitely worth it.

Tobias is very funny and cool

A fantastic hiking shoes selection

Excellent service! Every time I go to Beaver I get excellent service whether it is for bike stuff or skiing stuff. You might have to wait a bit since they are busy, but they have good people working there...

Great store for backpacking especially here in the interior. They keep a lot of things in stock tailored for outdoor travel in AK for all seasons. Customer service is excellent. They are very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you have the proper gear. For example, I wasnt sure if Gates of the Arctic National Park allowed Ursaks, so the sales man called the park and found out for me on the spot. In summary, this is the best outdoor store in Fairbanks. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

Lots of good camping gear. Clothes upstairs. Bikes in the back. Prices are decent. They also have climbing gear.

Have had very mixed experiences here over the years. Generally the bike shop folks know what they are doing and provide good information and services. The rest of the shop is generally overpriced and the staff either doesnt care about service, or pass along bad information and defended it even when told otherwise. I dont need an argument over replacing gear just cause it isnt what said employee uses/has expectations of.

Great selection of sporting goods at good prices. Staff is always friendly!

Good store with a good options to buy.Very kind and helpful staff and manager bit the prices and good location near to the UAF campus.The only negative point is the price that is reasonable for the brands that they habe but there is no option for the people with low income so I give them 4 star.

Service was excellent. They had the part that I needed at a reasonable price

A great local business with a wide assortment of outdoor and indoor gear. Great customer service as well

Beaver Sports is a great local place to get the gear you need for exploring Alaska. Recently, they were able to help me special order some gear I needed for a 130 mile backpacking trip across the Alaska Range. I couldnt have done it without them.

This is the best bike department in Fairbanks. Its higher end so sometimes that scares people away, but they are knowledgeable and friendly. Most of all, you get what you pay for. If youre a serious cyclist, this is the way to go. I never felt like I was being pressured or steered toward an item that was wrong for me. They all seem like they really love their jobs.

Good store, lots of selection to choose from. The building has three floors in it and the staff was friendly and helpful. The prices are point, I matched some of their products up against REI, Zumiez, and even Amazon.

They have an area for kids to play which was so helpful when my husband was looking for a bicycle, there climbing gear us on point and so many other things in here totally worth checking out if your exploring the outdoors! We seriously had to make this place a whole day event because of how much there is to look at!

I have been doing outdoor sports from dog sledding to mountain climbing for years and only recently discover Beaver Sports. They are awesome! Not only are they the best deal in town the give you 5% back twice a year however they had a sale going on for 20% off everything in the store. They allowed me to special order some gear they dont normally keep in stock and it arrived in two days. Amazing. I also found out they can ship me gear anywhere in the states. That being said I am going to order through them to support small business vs direct from the manufacture.

Got a bike chain and a tool. It was great because it was easy and fast. Thank you.

Good gear and good selection.Not a super great ski shop. Had my skis mounted there, they didnt set the DIN, and I forgot to check before heading out so that was a pretty big error. Also, bindings were mounted in middle of adjustment range (basically, I cant fit any other boots without re mounting the bindings). Also, were three days late with when they said it would get done. Not super happy with their ski shop. I know my buddy also got his bindings mounted off center and they had to replace his skis.

Got great help for fixing my tent pole.Thank you very much

Well I have had mixed experiences with this business. The dude in the bike shop with long hair has been great with my bike repairs. most of the other people(employees) were usually walking around with their noses in the air and were belligerent, rude and stuck up. They charge a whole lot of money for product. I seem like I am the only one who ever goes to Beaver Sports out of my whole friend circle. One thing is for sure is that I will return for business. Its convenient and if you have cash then they will surely take kindly to you. haha. They have great toe-shoes. Good quality-have had them for 3 years and are still in great condition.

Better than REI! They carry many brands and have an awesome bike shop.

Nicholas provided most excellent service.

Very helpful and friendly

Good place to get bikes, tents, skis, shoes and clothes for thin people to adventure outdoors.

Beaver Sports used to have a great ski and bike department and the respective employees really knew their stuff. This has basically reversed itself and the owner has what could politely be called an attitude problem. Great selection, lousy prices and iffy service. Not recommended.

Great local shop for your gear needs! Selection of running shoes is awesome.

While they didnt have what I needed, just wanted to give these guys some love, I didnt see or experience anything that would warrant such a poor rating.

Awesome store with quality products, but the prices are very high for most things.

I bought a pair of Mizuno running shoes from an online retailer. When I wore them out in a short period of time I took them into Beaver Sports for help. The staff downstairs was very helpful and gave me the information for Mizuno and agreed that the wear and tear was unusual.I appreciate a retailer that stands behind the brands that they sell and understands that it is important to put high quality things between you and the ground.

Quite high prices compared to online alternatives, but staff are very knowledgeable a helpful. If you need advice on your gear, its worth the price premium to talk to Beaver Sports staff.

This place has the worst customer service I have experienced, not to mention the overpriced gouging that they feel is necessary because of the captive audience they assume they have here in Alaska. Specifically, their bike department is hands down the worst in Fairbanks. DO NOT take your bike there or deal with their bike shop for one minute. If you are looking for a great bike shop, go to Goldstream Sports. There mechanics actually know what they are doing, and their customer service is 1000x better than Beaver Sports. Seriously, dont even walk into this place if you are looking for bicycles. Consider yourself warned.

Knowledgeable friendly staff.

Great, knowledgeable, friendly staff. I always get a sense of community coming here.

Ive had mixed experiences at Beaver Sports. I go to small shops like Beaver in the hopes of having knowledgeable staff guide me to the right purchase. Had a great experience purchasing bikes for my son and I. The salesperson was knew the products well and was incredibly patient.Ive had terrible experiences buying bike racks however. Have been given the wrong bike rack advice three times. (Different sales people each time.) Its frustrating because I want to support a local business, but now Im inclined to go to REI or to order online.

Awesome retailer for outdoor gear, camping equipment, climbing and more. Very knowledgeable staff.

A bit pricey. It would be nice if they have points reward or dividends for purchases.

Just spent 15 min waiting at counter to make a purchase while sales girl chatted on and on with a friend about drivel. I was obviously waiting for service, right in front of her and she ignored me. Lousy service like Ive never seen before. I walked out. Ill shop on line.

Great store with a good selection and very helpful staff.

Helpful staff, locally owned, and a nice selection of technical gear. A bit pricey, but thats what sales are for!

Nice selection of quality gear

Got my bike fix there, great job done

I went here to get a tent pole repaired and after two weeks of horrible follow through from the outdoors department I finally got it fixed. They forgot; however, to return my tent pole bag with it. The staff was friendly enough, but couldnt seem to deliver when they promised to have it fixed by the end of the day. This promise was made several times before an employee finally came through.

Excellent service and selection, tad pricey but some good buys too
