About Willi's Ski & Board

A Family Tradition Since 1970

Willi, Linda, and Fred

Willi’s Ski and Board Shops began in 1970 when Willi and Linda Klein opened their first store in Castle Shannon, PA. From day one, Willi’s quickly earned a reputation as one of the area’s best ski shops, built on expertise, personal service, and a genuine love for the sport.

Today, more than 50 years later, that same spirit lives on. Still family-owned and operated, Willi’s is now led by the next generation, Greg and Kjerstin Klein – who met working and racing for the University of Colorado Ski Team. With multiple locations across Western Pennsylvania, an easy-to-shop online store, and more than 250 employees, we’re proud to continue Willi and Linda’s vision.


Our Mission

At Willi’s, we believe skiing and snowboarding should be for everyone – not an exclusive club. We’re passionate about helping people embrace winter, whether it’s carving powder turns, cruising groomers, or enjoying après-ski hot cocoa with friends. For us, it’s about making every moment on the mountain more fun, more comfortable, and more accessible.

What We Offer

We stock a wide range of the best brands in skiing and snowboarding – including Rossignol, Burton, Salomon, Atomic, Volkl, Nordica, Blizzard, and more. Our shops provide everything you need for the season, including:
