Christy Sports to open Littleton outlet concept store Sept. 25

Christy Sports will open a new outlet-concept store in Littleton on Sept. 25, bringing outlet pricing, trade-ins, pre-owned gear and expert service to an existing location at 8601 W. Cross Dr. The move is aimed at lowering the cost of skiing, snowboarding and other outdoor gear while keeping full-service support in the community.

Why it matters: - Christy Sports is trying to make skiing, snowboarding and outdoor gear more affordable in Littleton. - The new format combines lower prices, trade-ins and pre-owned options with the same service customers expect from a specialty retailer. - The store adds another retail option in Jefferson County at a time when the cost of snow sports remains a barrier for many families.

What happened: - Christy Sports will open its new outlet-concept store in Littleton on Sept. 25, 2026. - The store is at 8601 W. Cross Dr., where an existing Christy Sports location is being converted to the new format. - Grand opening activities start Sept. 25 with a ribbon cutting from 3–4 p.m. - Christy Sports is the Rocky Mountains’ largest specialty ski and snowboard retailer.

The details: - The store will combine premium brands at outlet prices with a new trade-in program. - Customers will still get expert boot fitting, tuning, ski rentals and snowboard rentals. - The store will also sell patio furniture, apparel and footwear. - Shoppers can find savings throughout the store, including up to 40% off patio furniture and up to 50% off winter gear. - The trade-in program lets customers exchange eligible skis, snowboards and boots for store credit. - A dedicated pre-owned section gives shoppers another lower-cost way to buy gear. - Customers are directed to visit the store for program details and eligibility requirements. - Store Manager Jay Richey grew up in the Littleton area and works with a team that has deep local roots. - Richey said customers will work with a local team that knows the community and can offer premium gear at a better price. - Lindsay Goszulak, chief executive officer at Christy Sports, said the company wants to reduce the cost barriers that keep people off the mountain. - Christy Sports is again offering junior season rental and season pass bundles at the Littleton store with Loveland Ski Area and Monarch Mountain. - Christy Sports is the presenting sponsor of the Colorado Ski Country USA Ski Passport, which gives eligible young skiers and snowboarders access to participating Colorado resorts and includes two complimentary junior daily rentals from Christy Sports. - Colorado Ski Country USA representatives will take part in select events at the Littleton store. - Erin Acheson, vice president of the West Metro Chamber, said the new store adds an affordable retail option while building on Christy Sports’ long-standing presence in the area.

Between the lines: - The outlet concept signals a broader retail shift for Christy Sports toward value-driven shopping without dropping service. - The trade-in and pre-owned programs create a lower-cost entry point for families that may not be able to buy new gear every season. - The junior bundles and Ski Passport tie the store to a wider effort to grow participation in winter sports.

What's next: - Customers can visit the Littleton store after the Sept. 25 opening to review the trade-in program and shop the outlet assortment. - Christy Sports is expected to continue using the location as a community hub for rentals, fittings and youth ski access programs. - Select events at the store will include participation from Colorado Ski Country USA representatives.

The bottom line: - Christy Sports is betting that lower prices, used gear and local service can bring more families into snow sports and keep longtime customers shopping in Littleton.
