About Footloose Sports
Footloose Sports has been a beloved Mammoth Lakes gear shop for more than 40 years.
We’ve always been a family store.
Sven Coomer opened Footloose Sports in 1979 as a 400-square-foot boot fitting service in Mammoth Lakes, CA. Andrea and Tony Colasardo joined Sven to run the store in the 1980s before combining forces with Mary and Corty Lawrence. In the late 1990s, Footloose moved from its former location at Canyon & Minaret Roads to its current location in the heart of Mammoth.
Current owners Silver Chesak and Zach Yates both spent many years working in the store for the Lawrences and the Colasardos before buying the store in 2017.
Extensive product knowledge and an amazing selection of gear are important to us, but treating customers like family comes first at Footloose. We’re your one-stop-shop for everything your family needs for your Mammoth Lakes ski trip, camping trip, family vacation or weekend getaway.


We don’t believe in one-size fits all.
No other ski shop in Mammoth Lakes takes demo rentals as seriously as we do (think every size & width of many models of ski boots and Superfeet included with every rental boot). We’re known for having the best and newest technology and gear. Our approach is highly individualized, whether we’re helping you find the right ski boot, hiking shoe, rental bike or backpack.
What our clients say
At Footloose Sports, exceptional customer service is at the heart of what we do—so you can hit the slopes, trails, or town fully geared and ready for whatever your day brings.
Miley went above and beyond to get custom insoles made for us. She was efficient, knowledgeable, and super friendly. The insoles fit perfectly and made a huge difference on the slopes. Highly recommend this shop for boot fitting service and gear!

Love footloose. Almost always a stop when heading to mammoth to ski. Small shop but good selection. We almost always rent from them and they are convenient and fast.
James (Yelp)
We rented skis here and it was so easy and convenient. The service was really good and all the workers were so sweet, giving me tips for skiing. It ended up being super affordable as well, I couldn’t recommend this place more!
