Company history
St. Bernard Sports was founded in 1978 by Wes Goyer. The company began by specializing in high end retail fashion and surf, snowboard and ski products but expanded its business model to include other types of apparel and in 1998 began carrying shoes and sportswear. Two of its retail locations features ski shop services. St.Bernard Sports currently advertises locally in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Online growth
Prior to 2009, St. Bernard Sports maintained a website but did not sell products online. In the Fall of 2009, Stbernardsports.com began selling products available from its 3 stores on its website. In 2010, Stbernardsports.com began working with a new e-commerce platform, Celerant, to incorporate more advanced features for its online store. The company currently utilizes Thawte as a certificate authority to ensure that its online transactions are securely encrypted.

The company currently focuses on carrying men's, women's and children's skis and snowboarding equipment as well as high end and preppy clothing, including fashion accessories such as sunglasses, watches and bags.

There are currently large numbers of brands of products sold in the St. Bernard store such as Vineyard Vines, Lilly Pulitzer, Ugg boots, and high end and imported winter brands like Bogner and Patagonia.
