Our story

A shop built by riders

Ridgeline started in a two-car garage with a wax iron and a stack of demo boards. Fifteen seasons later we are still the shop that would rather get your setup right than move a unit.

How we got here

Same mountain, same crew

We opened Ridgeline because the nearest real snowboard shop was two hours away and the local options treated boards like a seasonal afterthought. We wanted a place staffed by people who ride every week, who can fit a boot properly and who will tell you the truth about a deck.

Everything grew from there: the tuning bench, the demo wall, the fit room. What has not changed is who is behind the counter.

The seasons so far

A few miles of history

    The garage days

    Two friends, a wax iron and a rack of demo boards sold out of a garage.

    First storefront

    We took over an old hardware store two blocks from the lift.

  3. 2017

    The tuning bench

    Added a stone-grind bench so tunes stayed in-house and stayed fast.

    The fit room

    Built a dedicated boot-fitting room with heat molding and stance analysis.

What we stand on

The house rules

Ride it first

We do not stock a board nobody on staff has ridden.

Fit is everything

A great board on a bad boot is a bad day. We fix the boot first.

Local before national

We back the riders, events and hills in our own backyard.
