PETOSKEY — Woody’s Adventure Gear, a store specializing in winter sports equipment, is gearing up for its demo day on December 21st at Nubs Nob.
The store, owned by Brooke Woodham, offers a wide range of gear for outdoor activities, focusing on skiing during the winter months.
Woodham, who is deeply involved in the local ski community, aims to provide resources for all outdoor enthusiasts in the area.
“I’m involved with the community personally. My three kids all ski and they all ski race,” said Brooke Woodham, owner of Woody’s Adventure Gear.
Woody’s Adventure Gear has been open since September and has received overwhelming support from the local community. The store offers a variety of ski equipment, including downhill, all-mountain, and racing skis, catering to Northern Michigan race teams and individual racers.
In addition to ski gear, the store carries snowshoes and outdoor apparel suitable for various activities in Northern Michigan. Woodham emphasizes the importance of supporting local brands, such as Michigan Mitten and Lost Horizons, which offer unique products like leather gloves reinforced for tow ropes and handmade sweaters from Nepal.
The upcoming demo day will allow customers to try out skis with the assistance of brand representatives, providing an opportunity to test equipment before purchasing. Woodham’s background as a sales rep for outdoor sports brands has influenced the selection of products available at the store.
As the seasons change, Woody’s Adventure Gear plans to transition into summer gear, offering footwear and apparel for running and trail activities. The store aims to keep people comfortable and active outdoors year-round.
Woody’s Adventure Gear is committed to enhancing the outdoor experience for Northern Michigan residents by providing quality gear and supporting local brands.
With the demo day approaching, the store continues to foster a strong connection with the community and promote outdoor activities.
