A Family Business
The Ski Shop has been Family owned and operated in Colorado Springs since 1952.
In 1981, Wolf and Julie Uhl took over ownership of The Ski Shop. In 1993, Wolf and Julie’s son, Rick, joined The Ski Shop crew after graduation from Western State College. Wolf and Julie retired in 2002 and it was Rick’s turn to lead The Ski Shop Team. A year later, Brother Scott rejoined the family business along with Rick’s wife Debbie. Scott’s wife, Dulcy, also manages content for our various social media platforms. A third generation of Uhl’s are now represented at The Ski Shop as both Emily and Katie are part of the team! Of course, the original Ski Bum, and all around awesome guy, Kevin Kinney, has been an integral part of the Ski Shop Family since 1981! “Little Al” or “Hey Al” (depending on the day) has also been in The Ski Shop Family for over a decade now. In fact, we think of all 25+ members of our staff as Ski Shop Family members and many of our customers are considered family as well!
Our Passion For Skiing and Snowboarding
The Ski Shop is the area’s only SPECIALTY Ski and Snowboard Shop because we only sell ski and snowboard gear. The relationships that we have built with our customers are the primary reason why The Ski Shop has stayed in business for 70 years! Everyone who works at The Ski Shop is passionate about skiing and snowboarding.
Most of us grew up skiing and snowboarding in Colorado. In fact, Wolf Uhl taught sons Rick and Scott how to ski at a place you may remember as Ski Broadmoor. Thank you for sharing our enthusiasm and thank you for making us your favorite specialty ski and snowboard shop for over 70 years and counting!
