About PTO Ski & Snowboard

Our Story

PTO Ski & Snowboard was founded with a simple mission: bring the same level of care and expertise you find in the best mountain-town pro shops to every rider, everywhere. We started as a small crew of passionate skiers and snowboarders who were looking for something more personal than the big-box experience.

Today, PTO is a premium specialty retailer focused on expert curation. Every product in our catalog has been evaluated, tested, or ridden by a member of our team. We carry only brands and models we genuinely believe in — because when you invest in gear, you deserve confidence that it will perform.

Expert Curation

Our buying team lives and breathes snow sports. We attend on-snow demos, maintain direct relationships with brand engineers, and rigorously test new products each season. The result is a tightly curated selection where every item earns its place.

Real Snow Sports Knowledge

When you reach out to PTO, you are talking to riders — not call center scripts. Our staff includes certified instructors, former racers, backcountry guides, and freestyle riders who collectively cover every discipline. Whether you need help choosing your first setup or dialing in a quiver for a heli trip, we speak your language.

A Team of Riders

We believe the best advice comes from experience. Our team logs serious days on snow every season, from groomers and park laps to touring and steep lines. That firsthand knowledge shapes everything we do — from the gear we stock to the recommendations we make.
