We couldn't be more proud of our staff and more appreciative of our customers. We were one of two shops selected in the entire state of Vermont and earned a GOLD level recognition. 

If you've ever had a great experience at our shop please consider voting for us in the FedEx Small Business Grant contest. You can vote once a day through April 4, 2018!

If we were awarded this grant we would be able to improve our online store & rental reservations system as well as hire another full-time employee to help us for years to come!

You don't have to look far to find a Vermont Sports Junior Athlete of the Year nominee this year. First Stop Board Barn's Team Rider, Ian Clarke, was one of only 10 riders chosen for the honor by the publication.  Vermont Sports couldn't have said it better about First Stop Board Barn Team Athlete Ian Clarke: "Clarke, who grew up near Killington Resort and raced alpine at the Killington Mountain School, didn’t pick up ski mountaineering (ski mo) until last year. Since then, he’s placed in just about every event around New England. In February, 2017, Clarke was the only junior named to the U.S. national team and invited to compete at the World Championships in Italy in March. He finished 23rd there against some of the top Europeans." Check out his feature below, and click here for the original piece.
