How to Reach the Podium? Visit Wausau’s Alpine Race Experts!

Alpine ski racing is where it’s at. Get the gear and join the fun.

Just a ten minute drive from Granite Peak Ski Area at Rib Mountain, our team of expert ski boot fitters and race aficionados are your partners when hundies matter.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Shep’s Sports has been Wisconsin skiers’ first choice for race gear since 1949. That’s 73 years of experience to guide you. Owing to our home in Wausau, a mecca for outdoor adventure sports, we’re counted on for answers to questions including the who, what, when and where of skiing. As for the why? That’s easy: alpine racing is a blast!

We’re proud to support The Granite Peak Ski Team, who capitalizes on one of our greatest natural resources and provide the only alpine ski training program for youth in central Wisconsin.
