“No other shop in the Country is as committed to the sport of ski racing as we are. Welcome to a real ski shop” -Bart Pierce
The top 6 reasons why you should buy your race equipment from Pierce.
HistoryFor over 35 years Pierce has been passionately dedicated to alpine ski racing in sales, service and support. As a shop we have given back to the local race community over $500,000 in financial support in the form of fund raising and sponsorships. |

Pierce & Mount Hood TestingIn 1998 to better understand what actually goes on at Mt. Hood we attended our 1stsummer ski camp. This concept quickly evolved from being a chaperone into being actively involved in equipment testing: working with athletes and coaches on a daily basis. |
 |
Independent TestingBeing an independent shop has enabled us to conduct our own equipment assessment void of any manufacturer bias. Summer 2019 marked our 22nd tour-of-duty on the Palmer snowfield. This year's equipment recommendations represent our compilation of our testing results in June with the information from the previous 21 years. |

Knowledgeable StaffEveryone on our staff is actively involved in skiing. We race, have kids who race and some of us are coaches. When the Ski Challenge season starts up in January we actually change our Sunday store hours to 11 AM to 4 PM so that our staff can get out to Buck Hill to race at 5:30 :) |
 |
Warranty ProcessingPierce stands behind what we sell. Our record for turning around broken equipment claims is legendary. We actually have been known to replace de-laminated skis between race runs at a high school sectional meet at Buck Hill. We are also an on-site warranty replacement site for Leki poles purchased from us. |

History has a way of repeating itself...We are proud to say that both 2021 Minnesota State SL Champions Zach Trotto & Ava Pihlstrom (pictured) are Pierce customers.
Since 1984, 37 of 38 men's State SL Champs and 22 of the past 26 women's State SL champs have been Pierce customers and over 1/2 of all Central Division Junior Olympians are Pierce customers.
