History
Started in Tahoe City in 1994 with zero employees and 1000 sq ft. Moved to Truckee in 1997. I haven't missed a season in a bike shop actually since I was 14 years old, and I'm 45 now (2015). Same story for most of our employees.
Specialties

We also rent resort ski and snowboard equipment and kayaks for adults and children. We have a partner in-house mountain guide service, and a trailhead shuttle service. We have a free website trail and ski tour guidebook with active discussion forum. We help industry professionals and organized teams with gear needs. We have put on over 150 FREE adventure slideshows for the public and bring famous and inspiring presenters. And we donate to nearly every charity brought to us, which is a daily thing. We aren't perfect, but we try our best to be an amazing outdoor specialty retailer! There are a few holiday moments where we are just slammed in the store. SORRY! Most days it's plenty slow. Please helpers, contact ME before slandering us. I've read some totally unfair and untrue yelp reviews. We don't slander customers when they take advantage of us! I am easy to reach and take care of everyone. We have helped an unreal amount of customers in nearly 24 years. 99% were happy. That's a fact of most businesses. Yet most look a lot worse thanks to YELP. Please remember this.
