Stix & Spokes goes Stationary!


By Liv Stecker


Wes and Ali Porter are taking their movable bike, ski and snowboard repair business off the road and into a cozy storefront on Chewelah’s main drag, just at the bottom of the hill from 49 Degrees North, where Porter has previously staged his Stix & Spokes repair trailer. Running for 2 years as a mobile business, the brick and mortar store opened on November 24th.They offer a full-service shop for all repairs, tunes, adjustments, binding work, wax, base grinding, as well as ski rentals from Head and all of your retail needs.

In addition to a great selection of top brand skis, snowboards, skateboards and bicycles for sale, they have all the accessories needed for the sports. Porter is a one man equipment repair service, with his shop full of tools and equipment, he is ready to tackle long ignored maintenance issues and troubleshoot performance quirks and malfunctions. Porter has more than a decade of experience in not only repairing gear, but also as an athlete in many outdoor pursuits.

In the summer of 2017, Porter organized and ran the first and über successful Kettle Walls Skate Park Competition, consecutive with Town and Country Days. Skaters from all over showed up to show off with bikes, boards, blades and scooters at Kettle Falls skate park.

To get your skis, snowboard or bicycles tuned up, swing by their new location at 519 Park Avenue in Chewelah - they’re waiting eagerly to meet you! Or contact Wes at 509-690-2772. You can also check out their Stix and Spokes page on Facebook or their website, stixandspokes.com.
