"If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy in your life but still the same amount of snow." - Unknown

As a kid, were you the first one out the door to build a snowman in the new fallen snow? Do you still take the first chair to make tracks in the fresh powder? Or maybe the snowfall gives you serious "sit by the fire and read a good book until spring" vibes. Let Bearcub Outfitters help you find joy in whatever you're doing this season! We have snowshoes for the whole family, ice cleats and a variety of trekking poles to maximize your outdoor experience. We also have Kelty sleeping bags and Rumpl Puffy Blankets to keep you warm and cozy while the snow flies. Our staff is here to help you find joy, regardless of the weather outside!

STAFF SPOTLIGHT

You may have noticed some new faces at Bearcub Outfitters in recent months. We are so excited to have them on our team and we encourage you to stop in and say hi!

Lizzie joined Bearcub in November as assistant manager. She will be graduating from North Central Michigan College in May with an Associate's Degree in General Studies. Lizzie is eager to learn all things Bearcub and is obsessed with curling ribbon (which came in handy during the holidays!). She has a great history of working in customer service in downtown Petoskey and we are so happy to have her join us!

Zach graduated from Petoskey High School and we were happy to have him join the crew in the fall of 2022. Zach pays a huge attention to detail and there seems to be no problem he can't solve with a little packing tape and some scissors!

Kyra is also a student at North Central Michigan College and came to Bearcub in June. She really enjoys hiking and spends a lot of free time exploring in the Upper Peninsula. Fun fact, Kyra likes to slackline!
