FEATURED SERVICES

RENTALS:

When the snow gods cooperate, Andover is a winter wonderland. Over 1,000 acres of protected open space are laced with trails suitable for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.  You can rent all the necessary equipment from us for local use or for trips north where snow is almost always guaranteed.  A typical weekend will cost $24.00 per set with Friday pickup and Monday return.

 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE:
Even the best gear can come acropper under hard use or after passage of time.   Depending on the problem, we can help you decide which way to go, whether to buy new or repair the old.  In some cases, such as lightweight stoves and other climbing hardware, we may have the spare parts and the know how to do an in-house repair.  However, in all cases, we can advise you how to maintain your gear to extend its life.  Manager Burt Batcheller specializes in major repairs to Mad River Canoes (including replacing gunwales); he can help as well with many other canoe and kayak repair issues.
