Insurance that’s Ready for Adventure


When your shop sells and rents outdoor sports equipment, your business needs insurance coverage that’s as rugged as your business. And just like the right equipment can protect your customers from accidents on the slopes or trails, our Ski & Bike Shop Insurance is the best protection against the pitfalls and risks associated with operating an outdoor sports business.

A cookie-cutter insurance policy may be fine for some businesses, but you need individualized coverage when your shop sells, rents, services, and repairs outdoor equipment like skis, bikes, snowboards, and more.

Coverage Crafted by Industry Experts


The Ski & Bike Shop Program by InterWest Insurance Services has been custom-crafted by experts in the insurance and outdoor sporting industries. InterWest is located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, known for its world-class mountain biking, winter sports, kayaking, and other year-round sporting offerings. For over 15 years, InterWest has been providing insurance solutions to high-risk, hard to place businesses.

The Ski & Bike Shop Program was hand-crafted by Aegis CEO Tony Commendatore, a former National Ski Patrol director. Not only did Tony depend on 22 years ski patrol and risk management experience to craft the Ski & Bike Shop Program, but also experience as a manufacturing engineer and shop technician and manager for a ski, snowboard, and sporting goods retail shop, as well.

InterWest Insurance Services has partnered with the AmTrust Group of insurance carriers to bring this specialty program to outdoor industry shops throughout the nation.
