Why Different Bikes for your XC skis?
So why does a bike shop in a town where you can ride year-round add winter sports equipment?
- Most importantly, it fits with our consistent goal of helping people of all ages and abilities to get outside and be active.
- Cross country skiing is a great family activity, kids can do it nearly as soon as they can walk!
- It is an excellent crossover training sport for cyclists, working legs, upper body and aerobic system in the off season.
- We’re the closest retail location to Vancouver’s prime XC ski area on Cypress Mountain and we’re right on the way to Callahan Valley Olympic venue and Whistler.
- It’s an accessible way to beat the rain in winter; just head up the mountain, and best of all; no lift lines!

We deliver the same great service and personal attention that you’re used to with our bike business. Ski service and equipment sales are during the winter season (Oct-Mar), bike sales and service continues year round!
Kids trade-in program for ski packages is available! They grow, so we’ll help keep them in gear that fits and let you trade in good used skis to help keep the cost down.
