From weekend wanderers to seasoned skiers, we pair world-class brands with down-to-earth expertise so you can enjoy the outdoors your way.
Founded in 1995, Mountain Ops has grown alongside the Stowe community, earning a reputation for thoughtful curation, trusted advice, and a genuine love for life outside. We believe shopping for premium gear should feel accessible, not intimidating, and that the right setup can turn a good day outdoors into an unforgettable one.
Inside the historic “Big Red Barn,” built in 1893, you’ll find a carefully selected collection of apparel and equipment for ski, bike, and human-powered adventure. We partner with brands known for craftsmanship, performance, and durability, pieces built to handle anything and to last for years of use.
Our team spends as much time outside as we do in the shop. We chase powder when it falls, ride long summer miles, hike quiet trails, and explore the backroads that make this place special. That experience shapes every recommendation we make. Whether you’re gearing up for your first day on snow, refining your touring kit, or simply looking for reliable layers that make winter more enjoyable, we’re here to help.
For nearly three decades, we’ve kept things simple: exceptional gear, honest guidance, and an open door. However you define adventure, we’re proud to be part of it.
Welcome to MountainOps. Let’s get out there.
