Meet Nick.

Meet the owner/operator of A-Line Ski & Sport, Nick Houchens!

While Nick is originally from Alabama and a devout Auburn fan, the mountains have his heart. Nick is an avid mountain biker, road biker, and skier. He took his first ski trip more than 20 years ago, and it's been a love affair ever since. Nick loves the snow so much that he averages 63 days a year carving turns with a sweet goggle tan.

His love of skiing brought him to use his background in civil engineering and biomechanics to fit ski boots, allowing others to share in his wintery passion for skiing. Nick has binding certifications from brand favorites Marker, Solomon, Look, and Tyrolia.

When he's not on the snow or a bike, Nick is a devoted father, husband, and dog dad to Barkley. "As cliche as it sounds, I feel blessed to call this town home and share my passion for skiing with visitors and locals alike."
