Pierce Skate & Ski was opened in 1936 by Walter Pierce under the name of Trading Post's Skate Exchange in a different location. The name was changed to the current one by John (son of Walter) and Barbara (new owners) in 1956 when they expanded to include skiing equipment and clothing. They came to their current location in 1981 and have been going strong ever since. They are a full service store for both skates and skis, and they sell everything related to skiis and skates. They are nationally recognized and renowned, and they are proud of their well-deserved reputation.
