| Message From the Jan & Brian - Summer
2009 We started Gear West Ski & Run 17 years ago
because of our passion for XC skiing. Now, because of your support, we have become the
largest performance ski store in the United States. Be it competition or touring under the
stars, grinding up the last hill at the American Birkebeiner, ski joring with your dogs or
coaching a high school team ... whatever your love of the sport is, we are here to support
it. Gear West exists because of your enjoyment of skiing and running. We strive to
give you the kind of service that makes you enjoy working with us as well.
What separates Gear West from all other XC ski &
running stores is our commitment to finding you the best ski & run equipment possible.
To do that, we stock more performance XC Ski inventory than any retail and web store in
the United States and specialty shoes from over 20 manufacturers. Our commitment to you,
the racer, the tourer, the high school racer, or the triathlete, is:
1) To help you identify what it is you would like (or need)
in ski equipment and running shoes to make you faster, more comfortable, warmer and
stylish.
2) To offer a better selection than anyone else. Stocking a
huge amount of skis and shoes helps us as well, so we have more from which to choose you
the best one to fit your ability and goals.
3) To offer the best in store and online shopping
experience possible, having you leave satisfied that your purchase met your ski or shoe
desires and budget.
Please visit, call 1-877-473-GEAR (4327) or email us with questions. When you support us
you also support the ski & running community. Through money, equipment and time we
support many high school teams, races, women's ski weekends, youth skiers in financial
need, the Mora Vassloppet, the City of Lakes Loppet in Minneapolis, American Birkebeiner
fund raisers, ski joring clubs and much much more. This is what our specialty business is
all about.
We thank you for your continued business and friendship and
wish you the very best in the upcoming season,
Sincerely,
Jan & Brian |
