Benefits of Having Your Skis and Snowboard Professionally Serviced

Skis and snowboards aren’t cheap, and one of the keys to ensuring their longevity is consistent maintenance. Wear and tear on skis and snowboards is a natural part of the sport.

Why You Should Have Your Bike Serviced at a Professional Shop

One major reason to have your bike serviced at Peak Sports Bike Shop is because we have the right tools for the job. There are dozens of standards for nearly every component of a modern bicycle.

McKenzie River Packraft Adventure

I've been dreaming about a trip like this for a while and I finally made it happen this weekend on the McKenzie River. This trip has everything: physical exhaustion, technical whitewater, dogs, sleeping outside...it's just perfect.

I decided to take advantage of a nice weather window this past winter and ride the C2C route, along with a friend and my dog, Charlie.
