Ski and Board Online was founded in 2015 when industry veteran Mon Balon moved the bricks-and-mortar store her Mum had established in Melbourne, originating as the infamous Ski Recycle 32 years prior, to an online-only business that now serves customers all across Australia with favourite Australian snow and outdoor brands.

As a parent herself, Mon understood how important it was for families to have access to good quality, affordable ski gear. A winter holiday is a major investment, and no one wants it ruined with wet gloves or frozen toes (aka upset children).

Ski and Board Online sources the best products from our trusted Australian suppliers, with a focus on the features we know to make all the difference in cold environments. Our goal is to take the hassle out of preparing for your ski holiday or that bucket-list trip, so you can focus on the important things - like having fun. And hot chocolate.

Whether you’re a family of five or an independent traveller ready to roam the world’s most exotic winter destinations, we have the right gear for you, at the right price - all right here at your fingertips.

As our plus-size collection for ski and outdoor clothing grew, we created other websites, first Plus Snow and also Plus Outdoor to support plus size adventurers and winter enthusiasts to get outdoors in the right gear.

We've now merged and redirected all our plus-size clothing and customer supports into one place exclusively for plus-size outdoor enthusiast of all kinds, Plus Outdoor. Sizes 18 - 32 and up to 11XL. Hope to see you there!

In December 2025 and long overdue, we re-launched our newer and faster website. Our old website platform had become slow and cubersome to maintain. We're so excited to bring you new and exciting products and collections in 2026. Stay tuned.
