In 1964, Bengt Magnusson opened Scandinavian Ski Shop with the goal of providing the people of Chicagoland with top-of-the-line ski equipment, along with expert service. Whether downhill or cross country, he always made sure the customer was leaving his store with the right products to serve their needs. Soon after, he helped organize the Trolls Ski Club for kids, which has given thousands of kids a chance to go skiing and enjoy the winter.

Flash forward to today and more than 50 years later, Jeff Magnusson strives to provide the same expert service and premium product that his father did. Our friendly staff is very knowledgeable and can’t wait to get you out on the hill. We love snow!
