Sadly, we had to put our older Montana tuning machine to rest after 33 plus years and over 300,000 pairs of skis.

But never fear, we have a brand-new Montana ready to go with expertise of Roy at the helm with great tune up deals until we go full price in October.

Thank you all for your continued support. Leif, Roy and The Strands Team greatly appreciate it!

We look forward to seeing you this weekend!

Strand's Ski Shop Knows Nordic skiing. Founded by National ski jumping champion Strand Mikkelsen in 1934 when the only skiing was Nordic Skiing.

There is snow on the ground and cold weather, with a lot more snow forecast over the next 2 weeks. Come in and get your XC equipment now and have it for the snow and not have to wait.

Once you have it, you'll never miss a quick storm that drops enough snow to ski. Why scramble to get equipment when the snow may not stay for long. It will be in you closet, basement or garage to just click in and go out the door or check this link to see some areas that groom the snow.
