Our Story

Established in 1980 in the most unexpected place, Houston, Texas, Sun & Ski Sports was built on a simple but powerful idea:

Everyone can benefit from the outdoors.


While Houston may be better known for its heat than snow-covered peaks, we’ve always believed adventure isn’t defined by geography; it’s defined by passion. After all, contrary to popular belief, cowboys love snow!


At Sun & Ski Sports, we don’t just sell gear, we help create experiences.


Carving your first turns, training for your next marathon, or heading out on a weekend ride, our Outdoor Experts are committed to making sure you have exactly what you need to succeed.

Find Yourself Outside with high-quality products and local expertise from a team dedicated to helping you step outside your comfort zone and experience what life’s about.

Find Yourself Outside

Over the past four decades, we’ve evolved alongside the outdoor community, expanding our expertise across water sports, biking, running, skiing, and snowboarding. We’re dedicated to going the extra mile, 26.2 of them, to be exact, to provide you with the right gear and guidance for your next adventure.

Where Our Trail Began

What started as a simple mission to inspire outdoor adventure has grown into a trusted name with more than 30 locations nationwide, supported by a robust online experience. This makes it easy to shop, learn, and gear up from anywhere.
