Come See all the New Spring Arrivals at Mountain Sports Ltd
Kick off for the 2025 SUPER BOWL SALE at Mountain Sports Ltd is Sunday Feb 9th at 1pm. We always expect lots of fans to show up for the big day because who wouldn't want a first and goal opportunity on half off winter apparel at MSL? 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. Kickoff is at 1:00pm and the final whistle will blow at 5:00pm. As always we thank you so much for supporting the local team at Mountain Sports Ltd and we hope to see you Super Bowl Sunday! 
Hard to believe that this is our 43rd year celebrating the Holidays at Mountain Sports Ltd. From the very beginning, MSL has been committed to offering the highest quality outdoor gear and apparel to customers here in the Tri-Cities. This is still true today and why we have been fortunate doing what we love all these years later. At the heart of MSL is a community of folks who share our passion for the outdoors, and the Appalachian mountains we call home. We have made many friends over the years and we love getting to know folks at the shop or out on the trail. From the Cheers family to you, we truly thank you for your support over the years. Each year we are humbled by folks who support us in so many ways. Whether that be by telling a friend about the shop, sharing a post about a sale, or by coming in and shopping with us. We thank you for thinking "local first" not just with MSL, but with all local businesses that make Bristol so unique. We hope to see you this weekend at MSL and throughout the holidays as we get ready for another Christmas at Mountain Sports Ltd.
Who said summer is the only time to hit the lake? Not us, the fall is our favorite time to get out on the water. The leaves are beautiful, the crowds of summer have faded away, and most of all, we love this autumn weather. Don't take our word for it though, go experience it for yourself by taking advantage of our Kayak Sale. We proudly sell made in USA kayaks that we personally select for our local waters so come see all the different models we have up to 40% off now. As always we appreciate you shopping locally at Mountain Sports Ltd and we look forward to getting you out paddling!
Time flies when you are having fun, and just like that it seems we are holding on to the last bit of summer here in the Tri-Cities. 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.

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.

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!

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.
