Alpine ski shop is the best! They're super friendly and knowledgeable about both skis and snowboards. They have a good array of clothing and accessories to peruse while waiting on your equipment fixes. They were able to heat mold my boots and insoles as a walk in and even set bindings on my new skis! They're quick to help choose a set of skis to fit your needs (ex: easy vs west coast skiing, strength and skill). Prices are fair and customer service is worth it. Been here a few times and continue to recommend! read more

I admit I came in just to get my kids fitted for ski boots with the idea of buying on Craig's List. Well, I walked out with ski boots for my kids, so they got me! Lol! Not because of high pressure sales tactics but because they offer a good deal. While they don't sell used adult ski equipment other than at their annual swap in October, they have a junior program where they DO sell used equipment for kids at a reasonable price (eg, $50 for little kid ski boots) and let you trade them in within 12 months for half the price you paid (eg, $25 for $50 ski boots). With kids outgrowing their shoes so quickly, it's hard to say no to a deal like that! The salesperson I worked with was great too. He actually said he used to own his own ski shop before he started working here, and since they don't work off commission, he was honest and didn't pressure me too buy. I'll be back! read more

I found a pair of inline skates I wanted and did research and found them for a great price at Alpine Ski Shop. I ordered them online for $75 cheaper than I could find anywhere else on a Saturday. Received automated emails each step of the way and ended up receiving the Skates Wednesday (I am in Minnesota). I am very happy with the price, quality, communication and speed of this transaction. An order from Amazon takes longer for me to receive! Thank you Alpine Ski Shop!! read more

The name can be misleading. They definitely sell winter sport clothes, ski, and snow board equipment but they have other sports equipment available. They are located near Artie's in Fairfax. Cameron's chocolates is around the corner! I went on a Saturday morning and it was a bit busy. The cashiers will look at you but won't welcome you or greet you. It took a while for us to get a hold of an associate or get staff to even acknowledge us. Bc However, when an associate finally gave us the time of day-- he helped pick out some snowboards for us and took time to explain some different styles. I think we got really lucky with this guy. He had to help other customers as well, understandable since it was busy. The extra star was because of his kindness and attentiveness. I didn't feel that the selection for snowboards in particular was as grand as the other shop around town. Prices are similar though! read more

Small and not a lot of variety and Ski essentials. I would recommend to go to Sun & Ski for better variety, better, customer service and they price match and offer military discount. Alpine ski DOES NOT. Even thought they said they would... not impressed read more

Found this place and came here based on all the *5 star* reviews. This place was great. Came in looking for a couple things and ended up buying everything I'd ever need for snowboarding. Staff are all knowledgeable and can help you find what you're looking for. Had an issue with a couple scratches on goggles and brought it back and they resolved the issue without any hesitation. Def recommend coming here for your snowboarding/skiing/ tennis needs read more

Alpine ski and tennis is the best tennis shop in the area. For tennis, I have no need to go anywhere else. They are knowledgeable, friendly and have everything you need for tennis. Best stringers in the area and they can help you make the right decision due to their knowledge. Great racquet demo program too. JDB read more

I came here to get my new skis mounted, and despite coming on a very busy day, the staff still provided me with great customer service and consideration! I ended up needing my boots back before my skis were completed, and they offered me rush service without me even asking. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful and would definitely come back here for any future ski needs! read more

Have been going here for the last few years for skis, snowboards and everything associated with both for our family of 5. Danny has taken care of us on multiple occasions and is friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I love this store. It's been here for years, and they've taken a lot of my money. Right now it's heat and thunderstorms, but soon enough the slopes will reopen. The Atomic Izor TI skis I bought from here are wicked for speed and turning. Being a relatively intelligent thrifty guy, I got a great deal on drab green bracketed Salomon boots. Here they were $100 cheaper than anywhere else. Do I care that they don't color coordinate with my red skis? Nope as I ski to ski, not to be seen like the Kevin's and Karen's do when they are at a resort. Got my poles here for a fair price, but what makes the biggest difference is their customer service. These men and women are experienced. They won't be doing a google search, when you ask about ski equipment. Yes they sell snowboards, but I'll overlook that transgression. They also have a lot of other sports equipment. Their jackets and winter gear are rather expensive, but you are getting quality products. It's best not to be on top of the mountain going "if only I." Here they will have you squared away. It's a fun shop, with good folks and an incredible selection. read more

Want to find a place where the people working there know what they are talking about? This is the place! Seems like everyone who works here is an expert at roller skating. When you go to a big chain store, it's usually kids that really don't know much and are just working there seasonally or something. We didn't know much about roller skating, but the guys here are really helpful and guided us through the roller skating purchase process! Highly recommended! read more

We ended up at Alpine after we attempted (unsuccessfully) to purchase skis at REI. We called ahead (since they're about 50 minutes outside of the city) and the gentleman who answered the phone was knowledgeable about skis and very professional. When we arrived at the shop, we were helped by Caleb who not only took his time to make sure we left with the right equipment, but was super friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 definitely recommend coming here for your ski/snowboarding equipment needs! read more

I went here to get the bindings mounted on some skis I purchased online. They had competitive pricing compared to everyone in the area, and the service was solid. They had my bindings mounted a day early and even threw in a free wax! I'd definitely be a return customer. read more

The folks at Alpine made it absolutely fast and easy to buy a Onewheel. I saw that they were an authorized dealer of Onewheel, contacted them for availability, and made the purchase quite easy. They also answered some simple questions I had. Happily left with an XR within minutes! read more

Had an awesome experience getting mens ski jackets and bibs at Alpine in December. We were pretty particular about what we were looking for and folks couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Becky, Emma and Sara each checked in with us, locating sizes and styles that met our needs. Super pleased with with our purchases. read more

Came in for a boot fitting and Josh helped out a ton with deciding the right boot and getting it molded. Josh was very knowledgeable and was able to find the right boot for me at a good cost. Will definitely return and buy more in the future. read more

Although this place is labeled as a ski shop, to my surprise they stock and string tennis rackets! The customer service is great. They take good care to answer all your questions and give suggestions based on what they know. Its great to be able to demo their rackets. Its $6 to rent and the money go towards the Racket(if you decide to buy) which is an amazing incentive! read more

Alpine Ski Shop is a great place that makes it easy. Tony was very knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service. Large selection of skis and other gear. read more

I have never skateboarded before, so I really wanted to shop in a local store to buy right the first time. Adam was incredibly patient and friendly. I told him I needed one to help me retain my muscle memory for snowboarding riding and some easy tricks. He recommended two Arbor boards to try. It was a very different sensation, so I didn't buy one right away. I went home and researched more before I went back to the store. I veered away from his recommendations at first, but after trying 4 different boards for about an hour or more, I ended up buying one of Arbor boards that Adam recommended. Haha. Adam wasn't there the day I bought it, but other staff answered my questions and left me try the boards to my heart's content. If only I had listened to Adam the first place, I would have saved a lot of time. But going from the length of a snowboard to a "longboard" that is actually quite short by comparison really took some rewiring on my muscles. I love my Arbor Axel Serrat! It turns smoothly like a butter! Very stable for beginners. Can turn on a dime in a short radius! I have also learned to pivot on this board. Love it! But from a local shop and buy it right the first time! I have also bought two snowboard helmets here. I had a concussion wearing the first one and was worried if the helmet was still good. I brought in the helmet for them to inspect and informed me of Giro's "one impact" policy. They gave me a 20% discount and I bought a Smith. Peace of mind. Thanks, Alpine Ski Shop. I hope the virus will die down and you will be open again soon! read more

Be careful if getting a racket restrung at this shop. I took a lightly used racket worth just under $100 into this store for restringing. The racket was broken during the restringing process performed by the store employee. Since the racket was lightly used, I figured it would be more than fair for me to receive $50 in compensation from the store for the damage. While I asked for $50, the store declined to pay out of pocket for the damages. Instead, the owner offered to sell me a racket for roughly $50 off the retail price. I declined the offer because I would have had to essentially pay the difference between the retail price of a new racket and $50 and I did not want to spend money on a new racket regardless of the cost. There was no disclaimer or advance notice given to me about what happens if the racket breaks during restringing. My guess is that without a signed disclaimer that the store is ultimately responsible by law, however, it's not worth it for me to pursue further due to the small amount involved. I'm giving a rating of a 2 instead of a 1 because the owner was friendly, was willing to discuss the matter, and let me keep for free roughly $25 in string that the store successfully strung on another racket. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience and I now have one less racket than when I went into the store. read more

In January, probably past the phase of being stuffed full of stock. I did find a good first layer shirt. Lots of snowboard and skis. Stuff for kids too. Small selection of tennis wear and rackets. Nice people. read more

Super helpful and knowledgeable. Brian was fantastic. They do let you demo racquets and then give you the $ in credit. Great prices, better service!!! read more

Great service! I've only been skiing once and know nothing about skis. Caleb was super helpful and answered all my questions and helped me find a great pair of skis. I felt better about going to a specialized store opposed to somewhere like Dicks. Nothing wrong with Dicks, I just needed the customer expertise a store like this provides. Definitely recommend. read more

I love this store and supporting it! I'm a relatively new snowboarder (started 2 years ago) and they're always helpful anytime I'm in store, with knowledge to share and no judgement on my nooby-ness! They listen to what I need and give helpful suggestions on products, and they don't just push whatever is the most expensive on you. I've bought various snowboarding items and articles of clothing here with no issues, and the one time I had a boa malfunction on my recently purchased boots, they helped fix it patiently and showed me my way around the issue so i'd be aware if it were to ever happen again. I will continue to come back here for my boarding needs and would definitely recommend it to anyone! read more

Came here to get my board waxed. Thought I would have to come back another day but they did it in less than 15 mins! And pricing was very affordable and fair. Staff was very friendly! read more

There's a reason why this company is sportin' a straight 5-star rating and that's because they deserve it. See, I'm a snowboarding noob (see: Jerry). You can typically find me halfway down the mountain, hands up in the air cursing the almighty being who created snow. But my goal this year was to not be an embarrassment to my family. I took to Alpine Ski Shop because I like their acronym, and walked in with wide eyes and a promising outlook on not being terrible this winter season. I wish, WISH, I had taken those memory pills they used to advertise on WTOP, but I didn't so I can't remember the chill sales dude who didn't even try to sell me anything and yet I spent nearly a grand here. RULE OF THUMB: these guys are experts, you (and I) are not. Take their recommendations as Biblically inspired and divinely spoken. A SIZE NINE IN REGULAR SHOES DOES NOT A CORRECT SIZED SNOWBOOT MAKE. I didn't believe it, but after walkin' around the mountain in my size 8's, I can say I'm so glad I listened. So while my bank account ain't happy, my feet, my not-standing-in-rental-gear-line, and my soon-to-be-expert snowboard skillzzzz are. read more

Good place to find a used or new board... My teen found a great place to but good products.

Purchased a nice set of Völkl skis and got fitted for new boots. A huge thank you and shout out to Tony and Parker for their help. Both guys provided really great guidance and recommendations. Super thorough in answering questions and very knowledgeable about the sport and ski technology. The store has an excellent inventory. Definitely go during the week because weekends are packed. I came in on a Friday afternoon/evening and was helped pretty much right away. 10/10 recommend. read more

Customer service is 5 star! Very knowledgeable, approachable, and down to Earth. Adam helped me over the phone and set aside the skis I was interested in purchasing. Tony sealed the deal by helping me decide what ski boots and pants I should buy. I told him my price range and skill level and he took it from there! If you need ski equipment I definitely recommend checking out the AlpIne Ski Shop! Their hours on Sunday's are 12 to 5 PM so it's crazy busy. I recommend going on any other day except Sunday's. read more

First time going to a shop to get my racket strung, and Tony did a great job with it. It was $22. And he was also able to do it in 3 hrs to accomodate my schedule. All the employees were really nice. Would definitely come again! read more

This ski, tennis and skate shop is the best in the DMV. They carry high end gear. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Good family shop. They have a great lease program. It's better than buying for your kids each year and you will bypass the time wasted in rental lines. There's also a community ski swap each fall that you won't want to miss. read more

This was our favorite ski shop in the area - until our most recent experience. My daughter and I travel from MD to VA to get our equipment there (I bought my skis there, and my daughter gets her equipment there every other year (used/new, whatever works out best - their trade-in program is great). In the past, they have accommodated our requests for same-day service (binding adjustment). On our most recent trip to the A.S.S., I asked the guy who assisted us (very nice guy who had just relocated from CO) if this was possible again this time. He said he'd ask his manager, which he did. Manager comes back to the service area and says: "We have been doing this for you the past several times, but that's not how it works. You can pick up your daughter's skis next week". I had no expectations that it could be done the same day, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask (we had errands to run in the area), but the manager's response (not what he said, but how he said it) was very unexpected. I wasn't rude when I asked if it was possible (at least I don't think I was - I was born and raised in Austria, and I don't necessarily sugar-coat everything I say), but I'll also be the first one to apologize if something I say is perceived as rude. So, all in all, our most recent experience with the A.S.S. was just...well....MEH. read more

This place is great. I've visited a few times, bought tennis rackets, re-stringed, and always enjoyed the knowledgeable staff and fast and friendly service there. They have great pricing and I loved my tennis rackets for recreational play. Will definitely go back for any tennis and ski items. PS, tennis outfit doesn't have as many selections for my size, though pricing was very good. read more

Simply the best. They went above and beyond to help me with an equipment issue from gear they sold me almost a year ago. In a world where customer service seems harder to come by, this shop stands as a shining example of what it should be. read more

This is not a ski shop for the fashionable chic ski girl! All women's clothing is for snowboarding.
