Tahoe Mountain Sports (TMS) isn’t just a store; it’s a testament to Truckee’s community spirit, environmental stewardship, and profound love for outdoor exploration. As a family-owned and operated business, TMS thrives on being an integral part of Truckee’s vibrant business community, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes that invite great adventures.

They scour thousands of products throughout the year to bring you the very best outdoor gear, footwear, and clothing. They seek sustainable, high-quality products that are made to last a lifetime of adventure. In addition, they offer gear rentals. TMS can outfit your group for the the next backpacking trip or provide a fully stocked campsite for your car camping needs. In the winter, they rent backcountry ski and snowboard gear, snowshoes, cross country skiing and all the winter accessories you need for a safe outdoor adventure.

Tahoe Mountain Sports’ mission goes beyond the sale—they want to be your guides in discovering and understanding your outdoor pursuits. Whether venturing around on Donner Summit or embracing a new hobby, like disc golf,  TMS is there to help you select the right gear and gain valuable insights from those who know the outdoors best! 

TMS takes pride in offering good old-fashioned customer service and a hassle-free rewards program. When you reach out, there’s no navigating through call centers or online claim forms—TMS’s fantastic staff is at your service, ready to provide firsthand information and assistance.

Because outdoor wear seamlessly goes from the trails, to the office, and out to dinner, in 2022 TMS expanded their offerings with a new downtown shop with a focus on lifestyle apparel. The new store’s name is Tahoe Mountain Life and features exclusive brands like Vuori, Cotopaxi, Fjallraven, Ray-Ban, Goodr and more.

Tahoe Mountain Sports is committed to the Truckee-Tahoe community. This is evident in their robust support for local nonprofits and involvement in numerous annual events. TMS actively contributes to the community’s well-being by collaborating with organizations like the Sierra Avalanche Center, Tahoe Backcountry Alliance, and the Boys and Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe and more. They participate in events like the July 4th Firecracker Mile, Point Mariah Trail Marathon, Palisades Mountain Run and the Great Ski Race, demonstrating their commitment to fostering a connected and thriving local environment.

TMS doesn’t just stop at supporting events; they also take the lead in organizing activities like the Annual Avalanche Education Series, the Backcountry Film Festival and their semi-annual Sales Rep Sample Sales that raise thousands of dollars for local nonprofits. In 2023 alone, TMS contributed more than $50,000 to a variety of nonprofit organizations, youth sports teams, and other fundraising events. Stop by TMS’s Annual Rep Sample Sale this Saturday, May 25 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Look for the signs and tents in the southeast corner of Safeway Parking Lot in Truckee.

Tahoe Mountain Sports is more than a store – they are a passionate advocate for community and adventure and a gateway to a world where quality gear meets outstanding experiences.
