Brian is a terrific guy, gave me an extremely reasonable and afforable quote and let me know about the mission and how this buisness supports those in the community who need extra support through working opportunities, learning hands on skills, and giving back. A wonderful buisness to support. I also came back to buy some new bikes for my friends as they have a terrific selection of refurbished bikes ranging from 100+ - 300+ last time i checked in April.

I find the previous review about "snobby employees" extremely unlikely--I have found nothing but amazing people every time I've been in. Tyler in the Bike Shop was great, answered some noobie questions. The whole team was eager to help, super knowledgeable, helpful with all of my outdoor needs. I was surprised how good a selection of footwear and clothing they had too--and not just for "outdoors", but athletic wear, etc! Ive already spent several hundred here, and this has become my new favorite in Chico. Before you go outside, camp, hiking, a day of the lake, snow sports, or biking--THIS is the place to go!

As far as people saying that this place is overpriced. I think that's not true at all. They have a ton of boards and gear that is a year old and heavily discounted. Everyone I worked with was super friendly and they found me stuff that is not only going to improve my snowboarding, but make my trips a lot easier, and more fun because I finally have the right gear that fits me correctly. 1000 out of 10 this was one of the best shops I've ever been to! Definitely come here for your snowboard/ski needs !! I bought a new snowboard, new bindings, and new boots, and I left them there while I went and spent Christmas with my family while they waxed both my boards and mounted my new bindings on my new board for free! Super quality service and very happy with the results !

Very well informed and tech savy employees that they have. I have also brought in my snowboards to get serviced last minute and have been able to get it complete in a timely manner, mind you I have brought it in last minute without an expectation to have it done by the end of the day! They are also priced fairly, great deals on everything! Overall, highly recommend their ski/snow services, bootfitting, and appropriate recommendation for my snowboarding ability.

It was also great that the employee didn't try to shove the most expensive item into a sale, but rather listened to what was needed.

The prices are on the good side of fair. Shopped here regularly before. Busted a hump to get to the store for a quick purchase, only to get a disingenuous "sorry" as they closed up early and the door literally got locked in my face by the second employee - the first just stood in the doorway and stared blankly back at me tongue tied, physically blocking me at the entrance as I tried to go in. As if I was supposed to be psychic and just understand I wasn't welcome even though it wasn't closing time. It was weird.
