Ski Country Sports opened in Asheville in 1990, in a small shopping center on Merrimon Avenue. The first several years Ski Country specialized in ski equipment, clothing and inline skates, later adding snowboard equipment. Ski Country carries all of the top brands in winter sports including Nordica, Rossignol, Burton, K2, North Face, Spyder, Head and Obermeyer. Ski Country quickly became the place to find all of your winter gear and clothing.

Craig Friedrich, managing partner and Asheville native, has been skiing and snowboarding most of his life and has been there since the beginning. He has transformed Ski Country Sports from a small 2400 sq ft store to today’s 8,000 sq ft winter sports and bike shop.  Shop Ski Country Sports winter sports on line shop!
