Owners Jared, Gregg and Ryan sat down to talk about their passion for skis and bikes, and the service-heavy approach that makes Start Haus the best in Tahoe!
From the casual rider to the elite racer, our commitment to ski and bike service is unmatched. Our legacy is built on over 30 years of World Cup ski service experience, and our goal is to pair every person with the right gear for maximum performance - ensuring you get the perfect fit and best tune every single time. 🤘
But Start Haus doesn’t stop at service, we have a wide selection gear that is built for for Tahoe.
✅ Skis and boots from brands like Stöckli, Blizzard, Nordica, and Lange.
✅ For bikes, we offer cutting-edge mountain and gravel bikes from like Ibis, Pinarello, Giant and Liv, alongside all the necessary components, racks, and tires.
✅ And to keep you protected and warm, we stock essential race-ready gear from POC and high-performance outerwear, goggles, socks and more, from a variety of brands.
We can’t wait to see you at the shop!
📹 Huge thank you to @courtleve for putting this video together!
