History
Named the Nordic Barn from 1995-2015, MountainOps is a ski shop in Stowe, VT that has seen a lot of growth. We've gone from a tiny Nordic specialty shop to one of the most unique and eye popping outdoor specialty stores anywhere. A store to outfit your high quality and unique equipment & clothing needs for life in these Green Mountains and for your travels to the snow capped peaks around the world. Likewise, this website was born as FreeHeelHeaven.com, a site dedicated to backcountry ski touring. It outgrew its name quickly too and now you can do everything on one website. Booking your ski reservations, buying a great ski jacket and hiring a backcountry guide are all just a few clicks away.

We take pride in being the best place in Stowe to have your skis tuned or to get your ski rentals.
