Party with us – We’re 65!

65-years-old and we’ve never looked better. Why not celebrate our 65th Anniversary rather than let it slide by while waiting in line for an AARP card? Let’s PAR-TAY!

Sept 18-20th, smack in the middle of our month-long Preseason Snow Sports Sale, Shepherd & Schaller Sporting Goods will give you the gifts. Register to win a free season pass to Granite Peak Ski Area (the midwest’s premier destination with another brand new high speed 6-pack chairlift to enjoy.) You could also win a free Night Pass to introduce a friend to skiing or snowboarding too. Other great prizes are on tap, along with special savings like these:

Buy 3 Get 1 Free Smartwool Socks
65% off select Winter Outerwear
Get Half Off your 2nd pair of Shoes
Get Half Off matching snow pants with every new Ski or Snowboard Jacket
Spin the Discount Wheel for up to 20% off any in stock winter clothing or footwear item

Unfortunately you can’t combine these great Anniversary Event deals with other discounts or offers.

Join us November 15th too, when we host a proper Apres Ski Party at the Grand Theater in Downtown Wausau following Warren Miller’s “No Turning Back”, which just happens to be the famous filmmakers homage to 65 years of mountain culture and adventure film making.

There’s that magic number 65 again.

Wausau’s Ski Shop

A trip to the mountains is every skiers dream. Snow, Terrain, Dining, Nightlife, Shopping… Of course that includes snowboarders, ski racers, cross country ski lovers, freestylers and carvers of all kinds. Sadly, for some of us the mountains are too far. The good news is, if you live in the midwest and are planning a trip to the region’s #1 ski area, Granite Peak Ski Area in Wisconsin, you can enjoy the full mountain-town experience with a trip to downtown Wausau and Shepherd & Schaller.

Wausau’s Ski Shop since 1949, Shep’s is known and respected by snow sports enthusiasts from throughout the midwest. A product selection that rivals resort shops in Colorado, Utah and Vermont, a Rental shop that features new gear every season, and a back-room maintenance shop that is staffed by full-time, year-round professionals who are respected by both customers and ski gear manufacturers make Shepherd & Schaller a destination for elite athletes and newbies alike. It’s 15,000 sq. ft. of ski lover’s shopping heaven. It’s the place where locals find unique gifts and surprises, love to hang out, share stories, meet ski friends. You’ll feel welcome and at home, even more than you might at elite mountain shops at much higher altitudes.

Can’t get to town? Shepherd & Schaller launched it’s web store in 2011, with live inventory that allows you to see the exact same product that is on the sales floor. Obviously a great way to shop from home, many use the site to revisit items seen in the store, while making gift wish lists for birthdays or Santa.

Done skiing and shopping? Walk a few feet and visit Malarky’s Pub for food, refreshment and live music most nights. You’ll also like City Grill, Red Eye Brewing Company, Jalapeno’s Mexican Restaurant & Bar and Back When Cafe, as well as organic groceries, cozy coffee shops along with more great specialty shopping including our favorite, Evolutions in Design, just steps from the store.

SIA Snow Show 2014

Last week, Robb, T, Rachel, and I traveled to Denver, Colorado for the annual SIA Snow Show to get a look at all the new ski and snowboard gear for next season. And I have to say it: we are excited!!! So much great gear to bring you next winter.

To give you a small peak into the show, as well as a preview into next year’s potential gear offerings, I snapped a few photographs during the show. Enjoy!
