The Numbers (2022-2023): Mountain Life Supply co Flagship location opened 9/15/2022 at the tailend of mountain bike season. In September 2022 with our fiscal calendar year ending in March 2023, we achieved a total income of $226,000 with a gross profit of $128,000. 
Our goal is a modest but achievable 10% annual sales increase. For the fiscal calendar starting April 2023 - March 2024, this represents a total income of $532,266 with a gross profit of $295,223.

Our History and Experience: It all started in 2020 with a sweet bike ride in Running Springs, CA - a small mountain town in the heart of the San Bernardino mountains, a destination famous for skiing and mountain biking. One of us off-handedly mentioned, “It’d be rad to start our own ski & bike shop someday.” 

This daydream encountered a few obstacles as it cruised towards reality, but we finally reached our first trail marker in May of 2021. We started participating at the local farmer’s markets on Saturdays and set up an online store with a small private label apparel brand; We worked to gain a relationship with everyone that stopped by while constantly participating in outreach activities in an effort to make new connections. We expanded our online store while running a pop-up shop and mobile bike and snow gear service shop, while concurrently renovating a brick-and mortar location. 

Mountain Life Supply co opened its doors in September 2022, and we have continued to grow within our market by fostering a customer base with a healthy mix of locals as well as a respectable amount of traffic traveling to the area.

  • Grow YOY snowsports retail sales via strategic increased inventory investment
  • Market all inclusive bike rental excursions. Cater each package to the rider's experience level.
