Founded in 1975 by Cal Poly student Wayne Patterson, The Mountain Air has long been a fixture on the Central Coast of California.  Still family owned, we’re a year-round specialty outdoor retailer that also offers a full-service ski and snowboard repair and rental shop in the Winter.  Whether looking for a new car rack, preparing for your first backpacking trip, or getting geared up for a holiday on the slopes, we’ve got you covered.  Located in downtown San Luis Obispo, we believe in great and innovative gear, only the best customer service and that we’re only as strong as the great community to which we belong.
