Every outdoor adventure starts at Joe's! You can get outdoor gear just about anywhere. But if you shop at the wrong store, you’ll end up taking the wrong equipment with you. The outdoor experts at Joe’s are committed to delivering quality products that are perfectly suited to your specific adventure. Every team member at Joe’s is an expert in their department. From ski fittings to selecting the right fishing rod, our experts know the sport and know how to set you up with exactly what you need to enjoy the outdoors to the fullest. We also know how to talk to you like outdoor companions, not like the pushy or impatient sales people you’ll find at the big box stores. And a lot of times we beat them on price too. Joe’s Sporting Goods delivers high-quality outdoor gear at a great value to customers throughout the U.S. Our physical store in St. Paul, Minnesota, is staffed by experts who are passionate about what they do outdoors.

The one and only family owned specialty sport campus in the Minneapolis area and beyond. We focus on cross-country skiing, biking and triathlons, alpine skiing and snowboarding, running and all the service and accessories that are a part of the sports we love.

At Tonka Cycle & Ski, we carefully select products that we believe in to offer our customers. We don’t stock everything from each of our suppliers; rather, we cherry pick the products that make the most sense for our market area. We evaluate the items we stock and look for the best value, performance and dependability in the products we offer. If you want an item found in one of our suppliers' inventories that we don’t carry, we will be happy to order it for you. Buying a Bicycle, Nordic Skis, Downhill Skis, or a Snowboard is different from most purchases. There is much more to it than just the product and it's price! Our goal is to help you through the selection process - that can be complicated, requires proper fit, assembly, and service after the sale. You can trust your salesperson and rely on his/her expertise to help you make the right choice. You want to be able to count on your shop’s ability and willingness to properly service your gear, and recommend and provide appropriate products and services that enhance your experience. Check us out or stop in and talk to us directly and see for yourself why you should choose Tonka Cycle & Ski as your Shop. Remember, you’re not just buying a new bike or skis, you are starting a relationship with a staff of enthusiasts who are here to help you become as passionate as we are and have as much fun as we do!

For over half a century we’ve played with every piece of ski equipment and clothing we offer so we can say with certainty how it works and whether it’s right for you. Every day we get our hands dirty custom fitting ski boots and tuning skis. We’re experts on the products and services we offer. You can be sure that when we recommend a ski, clothing or accessory it's because we’ve used it.

Xevo Optics

I started selling goggles to my friends in the Alpental Washington parking lot to pay for my skiing. Now we sell goggles all over the world with some of the best skiers on the planet using and endorsing our product. I wanted to make the best goggles in the world and that was my goal right from the start. I put the best skiers I knew on the goggles right from the start like Phil and Steve Mahre and eight times world masters champ Knut Olberg to name a few. Having the best skiers on the goggles gave me great feedback on product development and I listened to what they all said. The story is really long and complicated and to say how it came about would be too long and boring. I just fell into it and I have been on a ride ever since. Our goggles are second to none anywhere on the planet and much superior to the big companies. We have the industry best lifetime warranty and the most competitive prices.

Bed-Saver Ski and Snowboard Racks were created by a race dad looking for a better way to pack up six to twelve pairs of skis, boot bags, gear, and luggage in the box of his truck.  He wanted easy access to the right pair of skis without digging through a pile. In 2020, after many positive comments and inquiries, we decided to sell the racks commercially.  Designed to work with Tonneau covers or toppers, the racks hold up to twelve pairs of skis or four snowboards, while reclaiming valuable cargo space underneath.  They are easy to use, and can be clipped into place or removed in just a few minutes.  Our racks are made from sturdy aluminum extrusions, featuring heavy gauge steel brackets and steel mounting rails.  Each panel is carpeted to protect valuable equipment. The racks are designed to mount in factory holes in the truck box and rated to hold up to 300 pounds. Each Bed-Saver Rack is covered by our 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.  Kits are currently available for most makes of full-sized trucks and can only be purchased from our website at bedsaverracks.com.
