Goldstream Sports

Goldstream Sports is a sporting goods store in Ester, Alaska, serving cyclists, cross-country skiers, and runners across the Fairbanks area. As a Trek Authorized Dealer, the shop carries Trek's line of road, mountain, and fat bikes, along with skis, nutrition, clothing, parts, and accessories. The full-service operation offers personalized sales advice, custom fitting, and expert service and repairs, with a stated 24-hour turnaround on bike service.

The business was founded in 2004 by Joel Buth, who opened the doors of Goldstream Sports after years working in cycling and ski shops and coaching high school cross-country skiing. Originally from Waukesha, Wisconsin, Joel moved to Fairbanks in 1999 and built the store around the principle of using personal experience to deliver hands-on customer service at every skill level. The shop sits at the base of Ester Dome, the site of the 2,323-foot climb that is part of the Equinox Marathon, and Joel added a run department in 2012 to meet the needs of local runners drawn to the hill. Goldstream Sports is also active in trail advocacy and community programming, with staff participating in trail-building projects and safety events such as bike rodeos. Running Department Manager Stacy Fisk is among the staff members who contribute to the shop's racing and trail reports.

Goldstream Sports holds a rating of 4.90 from its customers, reflecting a strong track record of service and expertise that has made the shop a destination for cyclists, skiers, and runners throughout Interior Alaska.
