All Things evo: Explore More With Us
People often asked why I started evo and when it started, and I’ve always held that the path of our business is intertwined with our personal journeys. Since my Uncle Jack first introduced me to skiing almost 30 years ago, I've done everything I could to pursue these passions. From hustling gear to buy a lift ticket, to eventually getting the chance to chase winters, ride and surf worldwide, evo has opened doors to a world of sport and culture that I could have never imagined. As we move ahead, the desire to share these same experiences drives our site, our stores and most of all, our evoTrip adventure travel vacations – our opportunity to introduce customers to these amazing sports and cultural experiences around the world.

LOGE is more than a place to stay the night
The people at LOGE are a lot like you - surfers, climbers, bikers, skiers, creatives, builders. They love to travel, love the outdoors and believe community plays a huge role in both our lives and our adventures. We share with them a common bond of travel to experience, discover, adventure, explore the unknown, find belonging, embrace discomfort, join a tribe, be a part of something bigger than ourselves, to live, to find our place. LOGE's goal is to create unique lodging experiences in the center of great outdoor recreation hubs that give you a place to connect with others, try out new gear, and see new places.
LOGE locations bring all of this together through the following:
- Unique lodging options - hostels, hotel rooms, RV and rustic campsites
- Connection to the outdoors - access to world-class surfing, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding
- Community gatherings - Communal firepits, Friday outdoor movie nights all summer long, Saturday concert series all summer long
- Localized giving - supporting Surfrider Foundation (Westport), Central Bend Trail Alliance (Bend), Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance (Snoqualmie Pass), and the Northwest Avalanche Center (Leavenworth).
- Easy access to gear - evo performance demo centers in each location, offering mountain bike, surf, and backcountry gear, as well as evo retail shop coming this summer to LOGE Entrada.
The Great 8: evo's Core Values
- EVOLUCION: There is a restlessness at the heart of evo. A belief that we can build a better way to do business—and then a better one after that. We take smart risks. We embrace the failures that lead to a better way. We are relentless in our intent to improve as individuals, and as the company we are building together.
- COMUNICACION: Communication is how we build strong, trusting relationships with each other, and with our partners, customers and communities. Respectful, transparent communication is not an option at evo—it is an obligation.
- RESPECT: Every member of the extended evo community—customers, partners, vendors, fellow employees—should feel respected, heard and valued. Every evo interaction should communicate respect for individuals, industries and the communities we live and play in.
- CREDIBILITY: Credibility comes from our passion for what we do, our service and expertise, and our welcoming, authentic approach to customers of all styles, abilities and interests.
- INVITATION: We create community-focused, customer experiences that are inviting and accessible. We open the doors to all people. And we share our passions and knowledge with humility and a genuine desire to help.
- BALANCED AMBITION: We are committed to balance—as a company, and as individuals. We balance our desire to be a growing, profitable business with the needs of our communities and a commitment to give back. We balance professional ambitions with our lives outside evo.
- LEADERSHIP: We are always seeking a better way of doing things and to lead the way. We lead by example, are not afraid to take risks and learn from our failures. We strive to be leaders as individuals and as a company to ultimately change things for the better.
- evoSTYLE: Style is our “special sauce” — that something extra we bring to every part of the business: from customer service, store design and product selection… to the way we treat our vendors… to our approach to giving back. evo Style is warm, thoughtful, engaging and delightfully unexpected.
We believe all young people deserve the opportunity to discover their passions and achieve their full potential. We invest in programs and partnerships that help kids build positive skills and mindsets in the communities where we live, work and play.
How We Give:
Each year we select a handful of organizations that are reducing barriers for young people to achieve their potential and make an investment of our dollars, time and connections to make a deeper impact. Organizations are invited to submit proposals and a committee of evo employees selects three to four organizations to whom we will make a meaningful donation, commit to company-wide service opportunities, host an event and tell a great story. We are proud to partner with the following organizations this year, both for in-cart and in-store donation and wider programs:
