Established in 1976, Granite Chief is the premiere ski & mountain shop at Lake Tahoe. Our local knowledge of ski resorts and backcountry stashes, make us a valuable resource for locals and visitors.

At the start of Granite Chief our sole focus was on ski tuning and repairs. As the years went by Granite Chief evolved into a full service ski shop, with rentals and performance demo skis, custom boot fitting, a state of the art tuning center and a full line of ski gear. Now days The Chief is a year round mountain shop with hiking, kayaking, SUPs, trail running, and climbing. Granite Chief has become your resource for summer activities and local knowledge.

We hope you find our website entertaining and informative, with updates on product innovations; local, ski and outdoor industry news. Check in to stay at the forefront of the mountain lifestyle.
