BNS: Experience.Knowledge.Passion.Focus.
Boulder Nordic Sport's mission is to provide the best products, services, and knowledge for cross-country skiers with the goal to help people enjoy the sport. Whether this is helping find the right equipment, fit them perfectly and tune gear to maximum performance at our shops and mobile wax service center or sharing our technique and fitness knowledge through our Camps and Coaching Programs, we want to make people say, "wow!"
Who We Are
We have brought together an impressive group of staff and resources to help you have more fun skiing and find new levels of performance, whether your goals include racing or not. We are passionate about all aspects of the sport and that is why we focus exclusively on cross-country skiing. We immerse ourselves in what we do best and bring an unrivaled level of knowledge to serve our clients. We employ our experience to break down technical barriers so that you can enjoy the sport, whether that means skiing in the park with your dog or trying to make the US Ski Team.
We believe that every ski, boot, pole and wax we sell is among the best available. Our goal is to use our experience and knowledge to help you find what you need to be more comfortable and efficient on snow. We add value to our products by providing exceptional service to fit you the highest possible standard and by sharing our knowledge to simplify equipment and waxing. Years of personal experience racing, coaching, providing race service and interacting with clients has taught us that the correct fit is the key to happiness in ski equipment. It has also connected us with the Shamans of the sport who have helped us build our fitting processes so you receive the same level of support that top elite athletes get.
Our History
2006
Boulder Nordic Sport launches inside a rented space in a bike shop. Stone grinding with our Tazzari RP-13 is done in a garage nearby. A record Boulder winter helps us prove the concept a success, but also frustrates us endlessly with shipping delays.
2007
BNS moves downtown into its own space and continues dramatic growth.
2009
BNS launches BNS East in Portland, Maine, begins importing SkiGo and Holmenkol and creates BNS Mobile, a mobile ski service operation.
BNS quietly becomes the biggest dealer of high-end skis in the US.
2011
BNS Headquarters move from the overcrowded downtown space to a 6000sq ft location in East-Central Boulder. The new space creates lots of new projects, but the results are noticeable as we expand our product offerings and become much more efficient with stone grinding, shipping and warehousing.
2014
BNS Midwest launches in Bloomington, MN. A shiny, new Tazzari RP-23 stone grinder upgrades the stone grinding capabilities and highlights the new launch.
2016
BNS moves all stone grinding operations to Minneapolis. Having both stone grinding machines in one place dramatically improves efficiency and also allows us to focus our talent in one place, improving our output and quality at the same time.
