Porters Sports of Lake Tahoe – one of the country’s premier ski and snowboard shops – is proud to announce the launch of a new version of its website porterstahoe.com. In less than two years, its first version achieved multi-million dollar revenues and became one of the fastest growing ski and snowboard ecommerce websites in the country. The new website offers greater and easier navigation, the inclusion of community forums and user-generated product reviews as well as a series of Porters-produced, on-snow ski and snowboard video reviews.
Beyond the enhanced features, there have been several major customer service improvements. Porterstahoe.com now pays the sales tax for California and Nevada residents, meaning that any purchases made online from porterstahoe.com are completely sales tax free. In addition, porterstahoe.com now offers a 100% “Satisfaction & Price Match Guarantee” as well as lifetime, unconditional return policy. It still offers free, ground UPS shipping for anyone in the United States’ “lower 48.” This past spring it also began shipping a large percentage of the almost 20,000 items available to purchase on porterstahoe.com to international customers. However certain brands, such as Burton and K2, can only be shipped domestically due to contractual limitations.
Porters Sports of Lake Tahoe began selling ski equipment in Tahoe City, CA in 1960 – the year the Winter Olympics came to Squaw Valley. Since that time it has added two other locations in Truckee, CA and Incline Village, NV. It also has an “off-price” only store next to the Tahoe City dam and Truckee river outlet affectionately named the “Dam Outlet.” Porterstahoe.com was launched in the fall of 2006.
