Big Daddy's Bicycles & Fitness is expanding its services to include ski rentals and associated goods.
Keith Hart said the business will start renting, maintaining and demonstrating skis this year.
"We decided to expand last summer after we've been getting a lot of requests," he said. "We invested a bunch of money in skis and waxes."
Hart said the business, which has been open for 17 years, will be filling a niche that is unavailable in the Valley.
The business will be open later on Fridays and Saturdays to accommodate weekend rentals. For more information, call 782-7077.
