We sure hope you've had a wonderful of summer full of playing in the mountains here in Southwest Virginia, Northeast Tennessee, as well as wherever else your summer trips have taken you. Though part of us hates to see summer wrapping up, it also excites us for the season ahead, including our annual END OF SUMMER WHAT A BUMMER SALE! This sale starts this Labor Day Weekend and will be your first opportunity to get discounted apparel and gear from summer 2024. That's right, your favorite brands on sale locally at Mountain Sports Ltd. So whether your weekend plans have you going to the South Holston Lake, hiking at Grayson Highlands, or pedaling on the Mendota Trail, be sure to stop by Mountain Sports Ltd and shop our End of Summer What a Bummer Sale on your way! 





Do you have a garage full of well loved outdoor gear that hasn’t seen an adventure in a while? Or maybe you’re looking for some “new to you” outdoor gear? Either way, you don’t want to miss the MSL Gear Swap this coming Saturday from 10am to 1pm.

We will have tables set up under our tent for folks to bring their own gear in hopes of finding it a new home, and make some extra bucks. This is one of our favorite events of the summer. Whether you are looking to sale some old gear or in the market for something new, we hope to see you this weekend at the MSL Gear Swap!



The birds are chirping, the temps are warming up, and so it seems that Spring has arrived in Appalachia. We couldn't be more excited for it and to celebrate the changing of the season we wanted to kick things off with an Ol Fashioned Tent Sale. That's right everything under the tent is 50% OFF so don't walk but run into Mountain Sports Ltd to get some new gear for half the price!

It may not be snowing outside but the prices sure are dropping at Mountain Sports Ltd. We are always excited to kick off our annual winter sale and this year is no different. You can expect to find lots of great deals on men's and women's winter apparel marked 30% OFF. Come treat yourself this weekend and get yourself that warm down jacket, fuzzy fleece, or wool base layer that you have been eyeballing all winter long. You will want to be quick though because this is always one of our busiest sales of the year. We hope to see you this weekend at Bristol's Local Outdoor Store, Mountain Sports Ltd.


We hope you are able to spend time with family and friends today enjoying the Holidays and celebrating all the many things we have to be thankful for. Each year it's truly a joy for us when the Holidays roll around and we get to see folks from near and far as they make their routine visit at Mountain Sports Ltd. We have made a lot of friends over the past 42 years and nothing's better than when an old friend comes in and tells us a good story that started with one of them "Cheers at MSL". This year, and every year, we invite you to come be a part of our family and hope you will make Mountain Sports Limited your home for the Holidays.

That old canoe that is taking up space in the shed...bring it! The old trusty hiking pack collecting more dust than mud now a days...bring it! The hacky sack with only two grains of rice remaining intact...well... leave that one. However bring any outdoor gear that still has life in for a new home and new adventures on Saturday August 12th to Mountain Sports Ltd for the MSL GEAR SWAP! Don't have any gear you are ready to part with (we feel your pain haha) Then just come on into the shop to add some new used gear to the collection! Please share this post to help us get the word out and we hope to see you Saturday August 12th for the MSL Gear Swap!

Looks like this weekend's forecast is calling for another round of sales at Mountain Sports Ltd with discounts dropping all over the store. The MSL Crew will be at the shop all weekend long and hope you will make it in to shop the Weekender Specials. As always we thank you for shopping local and supporting us for all your outdoor needs at Mountain Sports Ltd.

It's been one hot week here in Bristol but at last the weekend has returned which means another sale at MSL. This weekend we have decided to keep the good deals coming with markdowns on both kayaks and bikes. You know you want to hit the trail or even better go take a dip in the lake so why not do both? We will be open all weekend long and hope you will stop in and shop local for your next bike or kayak at Bristol's Local Outdoor Store, Mountain Sports Ltd. 


Seems like it's as good a time as ever to have a FLASH SALE at Mountain Sports Ltd so we decided to do just that. This weekend we will be rocking and rolling with deals both in and outside the store. Shop our sale items in the tent and take an additional 20% OFF, that's right 60% OFF RED TAG ITEMS IN THE TENT! We also marked down select footwear including Hokas and Oboz for your footwear needs. As for you pedal junkies we decided to mark all remaining Specialized Bikes HALF OFF and thought we would mark Yakima Hold UP EVO Bike Racks 20% OFF. Come shop and save locally at Mountain Sports Ltd, Bristol's Local Outdoor Core Store Since 1981.


Well unfortunately we are going to postpone the Gear Swap due to the weather. We don’t have a way to keep folks and their outdoor gear dry so we made the decision to hold off until we get dry conditions! We don’t have a date set right now but it will likely be sometime this spring. Thanks for your understanding and even though the gear swap is canceled we will be open at the shop tomorrow for all your outdoor gear needs!


That old canoe that is taking up space in the shed...bring it! The old trusty hiking pack collecting more dust than mud now a days...bring it!

Once again it's time for the MSL SUPER BOWL SALE, kicking off Sunday February, 12th. We will be marking Winter 2022 apparel all the way down to HALF OFF!!! If you have been thinking about a new jacket then you'd better do a 40-yard dash to the store before someone else intercepts and takes it to the house. In other words don't get a delay of game by showing up late or missing the action altogether as we expect lots of folks to tune in. Kickoff is at 1:00pm and the final whistle will blow at 5:00pm. So don't forget the route you need to run to end up in the end zone at MSL. As always we thank you so much for supporting the home team at Mountain Sports Ltd and we hope to see you Super Bowl Sunday!

The MSL Winter Sale is going on NOW with up to 40% OFF Men's and Women's Apparel and Gear

Today is Cyber Monday. A lot of folks are going to be glued to their computer scouring the internet for gifts and deals for folks, not knowing what size or color to get using only a small image to go by. Why go through this hassle when we are matching any online ad for any item we have in stock at the shop. That's right you bring in any ad from a credible online source and show it to one of the MSL Crew members and we will match it without having to deal with the hassle or headache of shipping and returns. Not only that but we will also gift wrap any item for free so there is no excuse to not shop locally this Cyber Monday at Mountain Sports Ltd


Can you believe it's almost Christmas?
Us either so we hope you will come shop local during the Holidays at Mountain Sports Ltd.

Of course we will also find some time to do some bouldering as well, including some fantastic night climbing at the Picnic Area boulders as this is where we will be able to camp Saturday Night. We hope you will come join us and if you have any further questions, just give the folks at Central Appalachian Climbers Coalition a shout!
