Ryan Olsen
Born and raised in Oregon, the outdoor lifestyle has always been part of my life. I started riding really young and have never looked back.
I call Mt. Hood home, but I’ve found that my passion lies with exploring new mountains and new terrain. The backcountry has opened up an entirely different world for me. I’m AIRE 1 certified and find myself craving knew knowledge about the backcountry and winter sports wherever I can find it.
There‘s no feeling like riding fresh tracks on a deep day. But chasing powered isn’t the only thing that keeps me going. The mountain life style comes with so much more. Every year I find myself I engulfed in the mountain scene. Been riding for over two decades and have no plan to stop!

Ryan was super helpful!!
This is only my third season snowboarding and my first time getting my own board. Ryan made the whole process easy and was super informative on what i should get and why. The whole time there was no pressure which really made me feel at ease!

The GOAT
Ryan helped me pick out my entire set up. He proceeded to give me helpful tips and information for any aftercare. I don't think I would've settled on any gear without his help.

Ryan Knows!
Ryan helped me pick and narrow down gear. He was quick and knowledgeable on the gear. He recommended gear I was already debating. He was then able to give informative information on the gear I was thinking about. An absolute boss!! Ryan knows his gear both on and off the mountain!

Simply The Best!
Ryan was exceptionally responsive and knowledgeable about helping me get the complete snowboard set up. I had not bought new gear in a long time and he made the process so simple. I just got back from my trip to Breckenridge. I have never felt better on a snowboard, all the gear was so nice and fit exactly what I was looking for. One of the best investments I have made. Look no further than Ryan Olsen for any of your snowboard gear needs!

Ryan is the GOAT
I’m too poor to leave a big tip for him, but hopefully this will suffice. He didn’t just recommend the expensive stuff. He actually recommended what he thought would be best for me given the budget I had and he was helpful throughout the whole time.

Reviewer: galen
galen's experience with Ryan
It was very easy but I don’t think that asking for a tip at checkout is ideal. The commission should be built in to the transaction and should not make the customer feel surprised but obligated as they are taking the plunge to buy some expensive gear. Ryan did a great job and deserves to be paid well but it shouldn’t be done as an add on afterthought.

Ryan is the man!
Ryan helped me get my 15-year-old snowboard gear up to date and provided some really great insight on other equipment I was interested in. He went above and beyond throughout our interactions and had a great sense of humor. Looking forward to no longer bombing down the hill on a piece of plywood anymore!
