Rented boards from here a few times now. Rates are cheaper than the mountain, and they listen to you in terms of setting up the boards/skis. Also left both time with freshly waxed decks which was awesome. Staff are super friendly too. They do season long rentals for kids and adults for a very good price too. read more

Ordered replacement soles for my boots. Gentleman was knowledgeable and they arrived 2 days later!!! Wonder service! Kim read more

This is the best customer service experience I've had in 20 years. Purchased the wrong parts via their website which was my fault. When they received the return they contacted me and asked if I needed help. 8 messages later problem solved. Five freaking stars Berg's. read more

Rented snow shoes for my first ever snow shoe experience. Plenty of kind and patient staff members to help you. While learning how to install the snowshoes on to our boots, the charming employee gave extremely helpful advice. We thank him because not only are we not sore, we all had an amazing time. read more

Berg's is a solid option to rent skis and snowboards during the winter months. For only $25, you can get boots, poles, and skis for a day, which is a solid deal. I was pleasantly surprised that the gear was decent quality too--I was expecting the rental gear to be old and a bit worn down, but everything was in decent shape. The employees were friendly, but the service is a bit slow--I waited in line 20-30 minutes before I got my turn to rent skis. It seems like the rental process could be sped up by having a couple of stations for people to pay and enter their information (e.g., height, weight, shoe size, etc.) and another couple of stations to hand out the gear, rather than trying to do all of it at once. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY with BERG'S SKI SHOP... Worst online experience ever. Berg's advertises a Helly Hansen Alpha 3.0 ski jacket at a fantastic price $349 (retail $475). I even text them to make sure it wasn't a mistake. They text back that it was real and that they had several of them! So, I jumped on it and paid via PayPal since I'd never done business with them. To be fair, they mention in the fine print that Helly Hansen products might take up to 5 days to ship. So, after 5 days I emailed for an update. No response. The next day I sent a text. Still no response. Then I called the phone number listed on their website and got the familiar fax machine chirp. I waited another few days and went through the same process with no responses. After two weeks, I realized I'd be "had." The jacket was "click bait" and I finally contacted PayPal for a refund. Berg's refunded the money and via text apologized for the "hiccup." It wasn't a hiccup. They are simply dishonest and should not be trusted! Next stop is the BBB. read more

Berg's Snow & Skateboard Shop - This is Berg's Online Posting of the Helly Hansen jacket I attempted to purchase. - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This shop is AWESOME!!! Bought my new Atomic ski boots here in SF at Sports Basement. Discovered they were grip walk soles, not compatible with my Alpine bindings. Sports Basement said they did not have the Alpine soles in stock and would order them through Atomic. Great - just need them in 10 days for my big trip to Utah.... Well, 5 days later the Atomic rep says Atomic is out of stock. So I've got my new $600 boots - which are useless!!! Go online and begin searching. Confusing, Atomic's site is terrible, can't find them, do I return the Atomic boots and restart the search after 2 hours trying on boots and get a perfect fit? No - Berg's comes through. it looks like they are the only company on the planet to have the soles I need. I start the order, text to confirm I've got the right parts, they ask for photos of my boots and confirm the right parts. I order Friday afternoon for delivery by Wednesday - the parts ship fedex THAT DAY and are at my house on Monday!!! Amazing service, amazing shop. Thank you Berg's! I was able to have a great trip to Utah thanks to you! read more

See all

Called 3 times asking about the snowboard rental not once did they tell me to register online and when I got there, the line was a mile long. read more

Bought my husband a jacket and he didn't like it. Took it back a few days later with receipt and tags and they noticed something on it. They were able to wipe it off and tried to not take it back. We had not worn it so the spots must've been on it when we bought it and they were extremely rude and tried to tell us we got something on it and did not want to give us our money back even though it fit within their return policy on their receipt! Terrible customer service by Mel their employee. My husband did go back and got the money back but it was the worst customer service we have ever encountered and had to go back twice just to get our money back even though it fit within their return policy. read more

As a complete beginner without a clue I can happily report that after my FANTASTIC experience at BERG'S SKI & SNOWBOARD SHOP I will never consider going anywhere else for ski related equipment or clothing!! I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of working first with Jason and then Larry in selecting my boots, skis and bindings for both downhill and cross country skiing, and could not have asked for more professional, thorough and fun people to shop with. Next, Owen helped me to select a helmet, ski goggles and socks and was exceptionally knowledgeable and pleasant :) I feel extremely confident in what I have ultimately purchased and cannot wait to hit the slopes! What a terrific shop full of friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful people! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Best shop in town, they have a great selection and know what they are talking about. I bought ski bindings and boots and am really happy with their recommendations. I also bought a snowboard and bindings and couldn't be happier. These guys are very trustworth! definitely come here. read more

GREAT shop. An invaluable source of gear and local information. Friendly and helpful. I learned a great deal about local skiing from them, including some information that was a game changer for me! (I didn't know that snowmobile trails were groomed, and that you could skate ski on them! ) Always support your local brick and mortar stores whenever possible. Don't order online if at all possible! Gear is only one facet of a local business. What is irreplaceable is the knowledge and wisdom that local people have. read more

Super knowledge staff, friendly, and best selection in Lane County. My whole family has been customers for a decade plus (this review is overdue..). read more

In my mind, Berg's is the perfect example of an exemplary local business in Eugene. The employees are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Most recently, they perfectly installed my ski bindings onto my skis. You can trust that whatever you buy here is going to be a quality investment. read more

I've been shopping at Berg's for decades. The staff is very knowledgeable and always friendly, like a store built on customer service from professionals should be. They have in-house expert boot fitting (so important) and carry the latest gear and equipment for all your snow adventures. It's like having a personal concierge to help you pick out the best necessities for your sport, individual needs, and budget. read more

Do not order anything on line from this place. I ordered an Arctery'x jacket on November 10, 2020. I never received a shipping notification so I had to contact them. They only allowed contact via text. On Nov 12 they said it would ship early the following week. On Nov 18 I had to contact them again because I needed the jacket before Thanksgiving. No reply. I contacted them again on Nov 20, they said it would be FedEx'd to be received before Thanksgiving. Nov 21, still no shipping confirmation, so I had to contact again. They said they must have had a "data sharing issue" and it would not arrive until after Thanksgiving. I did call the actual store and talked to Chris. He assured me that I would receive the jacket and they are a small store, he was sorry for the issue and give him another shot. On December1, I still never got a shipping confirmation, so I contacted them again. This time, they said sorry but the item was sold out and will not be shipped. November 10 to December 1 and never got my jacket! Just tell me you are not filling my order. I could have bought it from another vendor, but now I am without my jacket and without any options. ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK! read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. They get a zero for customer service. I placed an order on April 26th. It took them over a week to ship the item out. I didn't like the fit, so I immediately returned the item. They received it back on May 9th. By May 14th I had not received a refund, so I emailed them. I get a response on May 17th that they will process my refund. Well, it's May 23rd, two more emails with no response and no refund yet. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Over the years ski shops have come and gone in eugene, and somehow Berg's remains. Once upon a time I felt like I could count on good service here... that day is no longer. I was hesitant to write this up, until I considered a parallel universe. It looks like this... just like the folks here at Berg's, I tooI have customers. I have demands. I also have limited resources (time/money/staff). But with this in mind, what I do NOT do is speak to my customers in a way that leads them to think I'm somehow doing them a favor by answering their questions. Regardless of how tight things are. So that brings me the long way around now to two experiences, two days in a row, with three separate staff here. I'll just recap what I mentioned above... pretty unimpressive service. I asked one gentleman (via phone) if he stocked a mens 15 boot. You know, before I drive all the way over from east Springfield. The guy initially said he didn't know, then waffled a little about how busy he/they were, and ultimately checked on it for me. But I don't have any doubt he'd rather have hung up on me. Then the following day I had a similar interaction over the matter of renting snowshoes. I'm getting the very real impression that some folks here aren't dealing with the workload well, aren't particularly well trained, or simply don't give a damn. It's unfortunate in any case. The one guy I did have a good experience with was the guy who answered my questions about jackets and then took my money. So I guess there's that to be thankful for--happy to take your cash, just don't ask too much of them. read more

Bought my husband some AT boots for Christmas. He raved about the customer service after his appointment and came home with a better pair of boots than we paid for after they upgraded him for a fit malfunction. Sven made a big impression on him with this generous move. read more

Always exited to go into Bergs to start the season. This year I was greeted with Sara at the front desk And she was nothing but amazing with helping me find the perfect jacket! read more

We'd never gone skiing before and we were a little overwhelmed but everyone was so nice and super helpful. Walked us through the whole rental process and even gave us pointers and tips for first time skiers with kids! Will definitely be going back! read more

Terrible customer service. I purchased a jacket from them in November. I thought it had already cleared my bank. Then I received charges again over 2 months later. No notification or email from Bergs regarding their mistakes and the charges. What a way to treat your customers. I will not be purchasing anything else from Bergs in the future. Just make sure they don't mess up your order. What terrible customer service.... read more

Placed an order for an Arctery'x jacket on 12/29/16 for a trip that I was leaving for the following Thursday. The holiday weekend caused all sorts of delays with shipping. Gave them a call on Monday and Tim and Sven (I think that's what his name is) took great care of me. Explained to me the shipping delays since they have an offsite warehouse for some of their inventory and that they hadn't gotten it in get. Long story short they overnighted my jacket to me and I received it in time for my trip! Great customer service! Took care of me even though it was my procrastination that caused the problem to begin with. Above and beyond! read more

For the snow loving kids in Eugene, this is the place to go. My first experience with them I rented snow shoes. They were helpful and accommodating. Later I bought a lot of snowboard gear and clothes here. Always nice and able to give honest opinions. They make the most of the space. It's not huge, but they fill it with a lot of fun things that you will want to buy. Go there. read more

I ordered an Arcteryx vest from them. The price was fantastic, shipping was super fast, and the service was fantastic. I love this place!

I am so completely impressed with Berg's. I just received (and am happily wearing) my Icebreaker Quantum hood - less than 24 hours after ordering it from their website! I had a question after placing my order, so I called them up, and they answered the phone on the first ring! They were so helpful, friendly, AND fast. Best of all, they saved me from having to drive to the Woodburn Outlet to get a good deal on this particular item. Thank you! read more

Found a jacket at a great price on their website. The order was shipped hours after ordering, and I received the item within 2 days of ordering. It was a perfect transaction. The jacket is in perfect condition and I couldn't be any happier with the team at Berg's Ski Shop. I will certainly try to do more business with them in the future! read more

I bought an Arc'teryx jacket online and had to send it back for an exchange. The run around I was given after they received my jacket was ridiculous. I kept calling them every two days and every time they took my information and would say someone will call me back. It never happened. Finally after a week of them receiving my jacket I got frustrated and asked my husband to call and while he was on hold we get a tracking number via email and to top it all they said the delay was due to not receiving my jacket which I know was delivered to their front desk per my tracking it. If I could give them negative stars I would. They may be a good store to walk in to but do not make the mistake of ordering from them online. read more

I bought the bus/lift combo for Hoodoo and Bergs was more than accommodating! I showed up a little earlier and the owner was there to greet you. Quite the snow shop! read more

I just started snowboarding and I will certainly be returning to Berg's for both renting and buying gear. The place is super cool! It's small but packed with great clothes, gear, and service. They will wax your board for free and you can get info on shuttles that go to the slopes around the area if you don't want to drive. Great place to check out! read more

It seems like the only good reviews are from people that visited their store, and almost everyone who ordered online left a poor review. I am in the same boat. I ordered a set of boot replacement soles online and received an email that my payment went through and my order would be shipped shortly. Well, it's been two weeks and after several emails, with no response, and several calls, with no callback, I have received nothing and have no idea if i every will receive my item. I am trying to get a refund and be done with these guys, but who knows if that will happen, luckily I paid with PayPal, so they have buyer protection. With all that being said, I would highly suggest not ordering online from these guys. read more

This is the best ski/snowboard shop I've ever been in (and I've been in a lot). Very knowledgeable staff that has been skiing, riding, Nordic, snowshoeing, hiking or finding backcountry runs I've seen. They've been doing it before most of us even thought about it and they were happy to share the knowledge with me..absolutely priceless in my opinion!! I personally won't buy my gear anywhere else and it's payed off again and again. I've personally got the best info from Chris, Svien (sp?) and Ryan in the snowboard department, I could ask for. I'm sure the rest of the staff is good also but I obviously haven't worked with everyone there. I just got back from 8 days at Bachelor, they used to have tons of great shops with all the brands I was looking for, but it's changed. I've been to all of them and I'm still going back to Bergs. Just my opinion though after skiing and boarding for 35 years..correct me if you think I'm wrong read more

Berg's is a Eugene institution. I have lived here for 20 years and never had a bad experience with this shop.If you are looking for great equipment at a fair price, look no further. Their rental deals are much better than renting at the resorts and look for buses to the ski areas on the weekends. read more

Berg's ski shop has taken care of me time and time again. I had the pleasure of working with Gary to pick out a new pair of boots. The process took multiple trips to ensure they fit perfectly, including visits based on achieving proper arch support and molding the shell to my foot and ski posture (which was complimentary). Gary worked past close to assist me, and--more importantly--I had a great time just hanging out and getting his advice. Gary is not the exception. Each time I've required a little extra help or needed something adjusted, I've been taken care of by the shop's staff and management. I will absolutely only shop at Berg's. read more

I was looking for a replacement buckle for my La Sportiva Spectres after fraying a wire. I looked all over and lo and behold, the local Oregon shop had exactly what I needed in stock AND for the lowest price. I ordered and it arrived two days later with hand-written thank you note. Wow! Super impressed with the ease of ordering and their great website - easy to find what you need, simple to order. And the customer service is top-notch! I'll definitely use these guys again. read more

They are scam. I purchased a gift for my boy friend two weeks before new year. It arrived 2 weeks after in a wrong size. I returned it and still waiting for any type of response. None picks up the phone, none responds to emails. I guess $345 down the drain. They cannot be trusted. read more

Really helpful staff and good information when you can talk to someone who has been there for a few years. The new staffers are alright. The shag carpet is amazing! I'll always be a return customer. read more

I was convinced the only solution to my foot pain was to spend 600$+ on new boots. I went into Bergs with that mindset and asked about a few pairs they had on the wall. The salesperson asked about my current boot setup. After I told him about the used boots I had purchased last season he asked me to go grab them and bring them in. After some measuring and customizing I have boots that feels great for only 100$. They addressed my issues without selling my anything I didn't need. That's pro level service that earns you a loyal customer. read more

I love Bergs. They have very knowledgeable staff and were very friendly. I went in to buy my second board from them. I asked them all sorts of questions and ended up with a fantastic board and I can't wait to get it in some fresh powder. Thanks Bergs! read more

Ordered pants with expedited shipping and my email said they would be shipped with ground. After a phone call with Jason, my pants were shipped with 2 day within the next 25 minutes. Great service here. read more
