Few men have had the good fortune to transform their passion into a successful career. Don Thomas is one of those fortunate people. It is his love for the sport of skiing that led him to the decision to open a ski shop run by a skier, a novel idea back in 1953. In 2003, Don Thomas Sporthaus celebrated its 50th anniversary. Don Thomas Sporthaus is recognized as the oldest running ski shop in America, owned and operated by the original founder.
Don Thomas grew up in Detroit. The sport of skiing in those days meant strapping wooden skis onto boots and heading for a local park. Over the years Don has dedicated his career to keeping the sport of skiing alive and helping others to enjoy the sport. His friends include world-class skiers, celebrities, governors, corporate heads, and high school coaches.
Don Thomas can always see an opportunity to connect with people and support the sport. One such connection put Boyne Mountain into international news. Don introduced his good friend and Olympic champion, Stein Eriksen to another good friend, Everett Kircher, founder and owner of Boyne Mountain. Stein became Boyne’s ski school director and Boyne Mountain became the mecca for the new age skiers in the Midwest.
Don Thomas saw an opportunity and in November of 1953, opened a 500 square-foot ski shop in Ferndale, Michigan. Don laughingly recalls, "I was painting the walls and waiting on customers at the same time. We didn’t even have a cash register for the first two years." That novel idea for a ski shop proved to be a success.
Over the decades Don Thomas Sporthaus moved several times to accommodate the ever-increasing business. For the last 40 years the Bloomfield Plaza in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan has been home for the Sporthaus.
The 10,000 square-foot store continues to sell fashion skiwear, ski equipment, and snowboards for the entire family as well as swimwear, sportswear, active wear, and patio furniture. Come early fall, two of the three floors in his store are dedicated to snow and skiing, fashion-forward skiwear, cutting edge ski equipment and accessories.
Don Thomas has never forgotten what brought him past his celebrated 50th anniversary year. He has always given back. He helped start Ski Prix, a highly successful fundraiser for the U.S. ski team. Over the years, he has worked with thousands of Michigan teens and their high school ski teams. In 1964, Don started Blizzard Ski Club, Michigan’s first teaching program for junior skiers. He is a founding member of the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association, (MSIA). In 1999 Don Thomas was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement" award by the Michigan High School Coaches Association and in 1966 the National Ski Industry recognized him as their first "Midwest Retailer of the Year." In 2004, the Don Thomas Sporthaus was recognized as a Ski Magazine "Gold Medal Ski Shop."
