Sampson's

Sampson’s has been a family-owned Winnipeg business since 1964. The company began when Jim Sampson launched Sampson’s Enterprise with a focus on sporting goods. When it came time to hand over the reins, the next generation—Glenn and Louise Sampson—continued the family legacy, expanding into ventures such as Rainbow ski travel, tours, and the Rainbow Ski School. As the travel and ski school markets declined in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the business returned its full attention to sporting goods. In 2004, Dean Sampson proudly became the third generation to lead Sampson’s Skis & Bikes.
