Best customer service ever!!
5 /5
I was in the process of picking out some ski equipment and I got matched with Gary. He was amazing answered every question I had and gave me his opinion on if I was looking into something that was not going to be right for me. He was beyond knowledgeable and it felt like I could come to him with anything. Even when I took a few days to do some more research and make sure I wanted to buy the things that were in my cart he would check in often to make sure I had now other questions. Absolutely top tier easily the best customer service I have ever had when making a big purchase like this.

5 /5
I started with spencer in mid to early january and told him that i wouldnt be able to make an actual purchase until mid february. He constantly gave me updates on item availability and continuously found me new items through the entire month that catered to my preferences as i gave them to him. He might just be the best customer service ive ever experienced to date with anything.

5 /5
Ethan was responsive and very helpful in getting me started with some gear. Having some very limited knowledge in skiing, Ethan was able to provide some great suggestions on narrowing down equipment given my budget and preferred style. He helped me save a ton of time, rather than doing hours of research trying to guess on what would suit me best. With his knowledge I have confidence that I was able to make a smart purchase that I will not regret.

He helped steer me in the right direction with new board purchase and passed on a lot of his expert gear knowledge without being judgy or pushy with sales pitch etc. Definitely helped me choose gear best suited to my style and ability! Got some great prices too and can’t wait to get my new board out on the mountain ASAP

He listened to my needs/goals, considered my riding experiences, accounted for my age and snowboarding style, and provided tailored recommendations based off my input. I would highly recommend speaking with Ian if you need advice on your next purchase/upgrade when it comes to snowboarding.

How can I start? Gregory? Understood the knowledge I had with snowboarding he understood what I wanted in a board.

Ian gave me great, realistic suggestions for my next powder board! He promptly responded to my questions and didn’t rush me while I was demoing boards. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has traveled around, so he knows my home mountain and its specific conditions. The stoke is high!

Hands down the BEST experience i have ever had buying outdoor gear! Edward was extremely knowledgable, listened to what i needed and provided great suggestions. Had some good laughs and witty banter and it was like going shopping with a best friend who was an expert to point me to all the best gear and deals. Honestly i've never met a better salesperson who was so focused on helping me get out and enjoy the slopes. 1000 out of 10.
