We are evo - a ski, snowboard, mountain bike, surf, wake, skate, camp, and lifestyle retailer based in Seattle, Washington, USA, with stores located across the USA & Canada. We seek to be much more than a retailer offering a unique and welcoming experience - from our world-class customer service team to our library of gear and how-to guides, all the way through our ground-roots community-focused stores and events. We are gear experts, storytellers, community organizers.
evo explores the collaboration between culture, sports, and community. Our aim is to bring all things relevant to the urban, action sports lifestyle into one creative space, leveraging our reach to positively influence the communities in which we live and play. Whether it is on the website, on the phone or, in our stores, our aim is to make all who come into contact with evo feel welcome and excited about their experience.
Between our Seattle, Portland, Denver, and Whistler retail stores, our headquarters in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, and our distribution center in Sumner, Washington, evo is the home of 400+ dedicated team members. Founded in 2001 in CEO Bryce Phillips’ Seattle apartment, after lots of coffee, countless late nights, 100's of powder days, and early morning sessions on the lake, we are still focused on being a great retailer, travel business, and an asset to the community.
evoTrip extends our core value of “Invitation,” bringing together like-minded travelers to exciting outdoor destinations. For years we’ve explored Japanese powder, Chilean peaks, and many other breathtaking destinations. Not only do we help bring people together and take care of the logistics for you, but we bring a little evo style to the party. Join us as we travel the globe skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and more!
Planning a skiing, snowboarding, or mountain biking trip halfway around the world can be a complicated task, let alone navigating once you arrive. Book your outdoor adventure with us, and we’ll use our years of experience and chosen local partners to remove all of the headaches. Our trips are not planned to the minute, however, meaning that you will still have the autonomy to make the adventure your own. Choose your destination and learn more about these awesome adventure travel packages.
Enjoy a truly immersive evo experience. We offer unique lodging centered on sport, culture, the outdoors, and human connection. Check out Journeyman Lodge, in Whistler, BC. Hand-built by members of Whistler’s backcountry ski community in the 90s, this 5,000-square-foot lodge offers an escape into true Canadian wilderness.
Getting started in any sport or activity can be a daunting task, and even experts may need a hand from time to time, plus outdoor gear can be complicated. We want to enable our customers and communities to find the best gear for them - gear that will make them fall in love with these activities the same way that we have. This is why we’ve created one of the most robust sources for gear information and guides on the internet, with gear guides, travel & destination guides, top gear picks & reviews, and technique & “how-to” guides. All of this is backed up by real people on the ground in our stores and on our customer care team. Our experts can help you choose your first pair of skis, help you decide between 27.5” or 29” mountain bike wheels, and everything in between. We ride what we sell, and we love to share our knowledge & expertise.
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.
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:
