About Peter

Our goal is to provide superior sales support in the snowsports, bike, run and apparel businesses, while representing our brands in a professional and enthusiastic manner, and have some fun along the way doing what we love.

Peter Kidd is actually a sales group of individuals started by Peter Kidd in 1979.  Peter started out as an independent sales rep for Elan skis and added Dalbello ski boots when they went into business in 1992.  During the 1980's and 1990's Peter employed an assistant that helped with the hardgoods business.  When Scott-Sports (formerly known as Scott USA) was added to the product lineup in 1999, business really started to grow and become more complex.

As Scott added more and more products categories, Peter Kidd added more employees to better service his dealers.  In 2007 Peter Marancik, a longtime veteran of the ski industry as well, joined Peter Kidd as a rep to focus on southern New England, the area of the territory that had been his focus with another brand.  That same year of 2007 saw Jason Knecht join the group as well.  Jay was fresh out of retail and had a strong desire to learn the other side of the process. 

In 2010, Peter Kidd took over the Bike division for Scott-Sports, as well as the young and upcoming Running division.  With all of these new projects, and more coming, two new people have joined the group at the end of 2011.  Peter Kidd is excited about these great new additions - Teddy Oram and Andrew Tiner -  to round out the team.  With the creation of a new office/showroom in Shelburne, Vermont, as well as the first of several new sales tools to further grow the brands and categories,  look for big things from this group for 2012 and beyond!!
