Four Truckee locals purchased a small store in the Gateway area of Truckee and “Mountain Hardware and Sports” was born.  In the early 80’s, one of the four left the group while the remaining three, Dane Skutt, Greg Hovorka and Howard Jones stayed on as owners until retirement in April of 2013.  Many of us remember that old store and how it was full of merchandise for every season.  The owners made sure it was a great shopping experience.
