Being a local means living and breathing the places where you play. At Stio, we believe that everything we've learned on the trails, rivers and peaks is meant for sharing.
When you talk to a Stio Local, you'll connect with someone who’s stoked to provide mountain town recommendations, gear guidance and a direct line of support for your Stio shopping experience. Most importantly, it’s all tailored to you.
Email locals@stio.com to get started.
Stio Locals are here to guide you on all things outdoors with ideas and advice tailored to your mountain life. Whether you're reasearching your first ski jacket or you've been acquiring gear for decades, we're ready to help—with zero jargon.
