About Christy Sports
Christy Sports is the largest specialty ski and snowboard retailer in the Rocky Mountains. With over 40 retail stores in skiing hot-spots like Steamboat Springs, Snowmass, Crested Butte, and Vail - Christy Sports' staff are all serious skiers and snowboarders who have extensive knowledge of and use the equipment they sell. The company was founded in 1958 by skiers Ed and Gale Crist.

It is our commonalities across the company and more importantly with our guests that make us who we are today: A company of passionate team members, who understand how each interaction impacts the ultimate experience of all our guests. It's not just a job, it's a lifestyle.
History

In 1958, two skiers decided they loved the sport so much, they would open up a ski shop on West Colfax Ave. Back in those days, Ed and Gale Crist spent their weekends rounding up their customers in a yellow bus to head for the ski slopes. Today, Christy Sports remains a company of skiers and riders who love to play. In the early 70's, we followed our hearts and opened stores at Copper Mountain and Vail. Being closer to the mountains meant we could be closer to the sport. The rest is pretty much history. Christy Sports now has over 40 locations throughout the Rocky Mountains. As a result, most of our employees are serious skiers and snowboarders who have a genuine desire to serve our customers. Christy Sports LLC is currently the largest specialty ski and snowboard retailer and snowsport service specialist in the Rocky Mountain region. The key here is we are specialists in a very exciting and challenging industry. Skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, mountain biking, and outdoor furniture are our areas of specialty in the outdoor sports industry. We are not, nor do we want to be, a retailer of all sporting goods. We are proud of our specialty recognition with quality products and knowledgeable service at convenient locations.
