I’ve been looking for some pretty specific skis and Michael was able to help me! As a female sometimes I don’t feel like I’m taken seriously when I’m at a ski shop (I’ve tried many) and mike made it so easy! He answered my questions, was able to price match Evo, and was so approachable! Honestly thankful for people like him in the ski industry. Thank you!!

Had no idea about this website. Stumbled on just by looking for my ski gear. Im new to the sport and didn’t now exactly what I needed. I told Hayden my skill level and what I wanted and he delivered with everything I wanted plus more. Excellent experience and incredibly easy. Felt like I had somebody just as invested as I was and that was awesome. Thank you Hayden great work!

Extremely helpful, knowledgeable about snowboarding in the west coast. Understands types of terrains and the type of board suited for the type of riding I like. I came in with an idea of what I’m looking for. 3 yrs exp snowboarding and only used 2 boards: box knife and Burton. He asked critical questions, looked for multiple offers, videos for me to learn about the products, offered pricing matching and provided details on the process. I’m recommending this website and Eric to my snowboarding friend group and other people looking to start riding! Check out their YouTube channel!
