History

Established in 1990.

According to ancient Norse mythology, ‘Valhalla’ was a brave and noble Viking’s final resting place. Bountiful feasts, endless drink, music and friendship were to be shared by all under a roof of antlers.

In the 1970’s, a dedicated group of forward-​thinking folks from the Kootenays convinced the BC government of the day to create the Valhalla Provincial Park in an isolated sub-​range of the Southern Selkirk Mountains, near New Denver and Nelson. Remote, rugged, huge and spectacular, the Valhalla Park has been our favourite mountain playground for 30 years.

When we started Valhalla Pure Outfitters in 1990 to make specialty outdoor clothing and gear, we didn’t need to look to some exotic location on the far side of the planet. The rapid weather changes and punishing wear-​and-​tear of the Valhalla Range have taught us all we need to know about the requirements our gear would need.

Today we have thirteen Valhalla Pure Outfitters stores across B.C. and Alberta.

Business Owner

I opened my first Valhalla Pure Outfitters location in Victoria in 1991. The Vancouver store opened in 2001 and we recently moved the store to 88 West Broadway, in June of 2012.

The new store is awesome with more space to show off all our great gear.

My winter passion is alpine skiing, including masters racing. My kids and wife are skiers, too.

In the summer hiking and biking are our main activities.

I keep out of trouble running Vancouver, Victoria, Vernon and Courtenay locations.
