History Sun & Ski Sports started as Tennis and Ski Warehouse in the Midwest United States by Barry Goldware. Barry, an avid skier himself, noticed a need in the cold weather gear industry. With this idea in mind, he set up shop in Houston, Texas, and started to provide specialized equipment for the local skiers and snowboarders. Eventually, the business grew from skiing and snowboarding to the product assortment it has today, which includes cycling, running gear, hiking gear, watersports, and more.
