Businessman and outdoor enthusiast Barry Goldware founded Tennis and Ski Warehouse in the Midwest as a startup business in the sports industry. Soon after, he saw potential in an untapped market for winter apparel. An avid skier himself, Barry decided to take a chance and move business operations to Houston, Texas in July of 1980 and established Sun & Ski Sports.
As Sun & Ski Sports has grown, our current leadership and their teams are just as passionate about helping get people outdoors with the gear they love. Our Mission every day is to provide you an elevated shopping experience through exceptional customer service, first-hand expertise, and competitively priced brands ready to perform for any adventure.
We recognize that the heart of adventure lives within communities we serve and plays an important part in our local community commitment. After all, Sun & Ski Sports was founded on strengthening community ties and helping others enhance their lives through adventure. That’s why we dedicate over $100,000 annually to actively support dozens of local events and groups including: the Texas MS 150 having surpassed $5 million in cumulative fundraising and over 20 years of support for the National MS Society, organizations in need like the Boys & Girls Club, Star of Hope, and Salvation Army gathering essential items at all stores during our annual Share Your Warmth Clothing Drive for the past 10 years, local ski and snowboard clubs, upcycling bikes with partners like Charlotte Re-Cyclery and The Pedal Factory who work to make bikes accessible to all individuals, even supporting RunningWorks’ events that advocate for an end to homelessness, and the U.S. National Whitewater Center’s year-round events that aim to get more people outdoors to enjoy an active lifestyle.
Our story continues as your journey begins. We are here for you where you live and play whether it be at home or afar, in the mountains or trails, on pavement or in water. Consider us your adventure experts with local roots, professional services, and expertise in providing the right gear.
