Welcome to Ski-Doo Outlet
Formerly owned by Centre Power Sports in Sauk Centre, Ski-Doo Outlet is now proudly part of Mies Outland — Minnesota’s premier powersports destination. At Mies Outland, our customers always come first.
Our Mission Statement:
Building lasting relationships with our partners and employees while serving the recreational and travel community. Our core values are based on honesty, integrity, and service to the community.
A Legacy of Service Since 1947
Our story began in 1947 when Mike Mies opened a John Deere dealership in Watkins, MN, guided by a simple principle: treat every customer with honesty and respect. That vision laid the foundation for what would become a multi-generational family business.
1955: Ford Automotive was added, with Mike’s sons Tony and Vernon joining the business.
1965: Polaris, a Minnesota-based snowmobile company, was added to the product lineup.
1978: Tony and Vernon split the business; Tony focused on John Deere and Polaris, renaming the business Mies Equipment.
1981–1993: New facilities and showrooms were built and expanded to meet growing demand.
1997: Tony and Alvina Mies retired after 40 successful years, passing the reins to their sons Jeff and Steve Mies — the third generation.
1998–2004: Major showroom expansions and renovations turned the dealership into a destination, featuring unique Northwoods-themed architecture and displays.
2011–2013: More expansions, including new showrooms and the addition of Indian Motorcycles.
2016: A second location was added in St. Cloud, MN, bringing 35 new employees into the Mies Outland family.
2019: The company shifted focus from John Deere to a full commitment to powersports, adding BRP lines (Can-Am, Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo) and Toro yard care products.
