Last update: May 14, 2025
We’re Hiring : Retail Team Member (Outdoor Gear Enthusiast)
Location: Chilliwack, BC
Hours: Part-Time to start
Are you the kind of person who’d ski across town just to shovel a path to the shop on a powder day? Do you thrive in the outdoors and get stoked helping others chase their next big adventure? If you’re nodding yes, keep reading.
About Us
We’re not just a store—we’re a hub for adventure-seekers. As an outdoor retail and outfitting company, we specialize in equipping people with the best gear, guidance, and inspiration for their time outside. Our crew is made up of passionate users and purveyors of top-tier outdoor clothing and equipment from the most innovative, high-quality, and environmentally focused brands.
Our Mission
Deliver great gear advice and in-depth local knowledge—backed by personal experience and a serious love for the outdoors.
The Role
We’re looking for a new team member to join our retail crew. You’ll be on the floor helping customers get dialed in for their next hike, climb, ski, or paddle. Whether part-time or full-time, your role will centre around sharing gear knowledge, fitting packs and boots, talking tech fabrics, and helping people get outside, better equipped and more stoked than ever.
Who You Are
- An enthusiastic outdoors person—ideally someone who lives and breathes mountain life.
- A people-person who’s excited to talk gear, share stories, and help others learn.
- Motivated, humble, and willing to jump in wherever needed—even if that means running up stairs two at a time or working through a snowstorm.
- Ideally a college student looking for a flexible schedule and a fun, meaningful job.
- Eager to learn, not afraid to ask questions, and happy to teach others what you know.
Requirements
- Must be 19+ — we enjoy the occasional post-shift pint, hold the odd meeting at a brewery, and regularly rock climb, packraft, and test gear in environments where a liability waiver might be required.
- Must live in the Chilliwack area.
- Weekend availability is essential—weekend shifts mean more time to play in the mountains midweek.
- Retail experience is great, but passion and personality matter most.
- Willing to test gear, and dive headfirst into new adventures.
The Perks
- Monthly gear budget + sweet staff deals.
- Flexible hours and vacation time.
- Work-life balance is more than a buzzword here—it’s how we live.
- Opportunity to grow within a tight-knit, passionate, and fun-loving team.
