Andrew, the owner, took time to listen and ask questions about my ability, my preferences, and what I needed to work on. He gave me advice without trying to sell me on anything - very different than some of the other shops in town (cough, cough, Abominable). I decided on some skis and wanted to work out some boot issues I'd been having. He told me to come back the next day and Brody would help me out (because Andrew was going out of town). Brody = freaking amazing. I ended up getting new boots and he helped me figure out that I was in a boot way too big for me. I got the new boots and after a day of riding, came back to make some adjustments. He and Tristan really thought through what options I had to make the boot fit perfectly. I was so impressed with how cool Brody was with my MILLIONS of questions. You could tell that he really cared about doing things right and making sure I felt great in my boots. It was an awesome experience. They do heat molding, waxing/tuning, sell Nórdica, K2, and Technica (and a few other brands I think). Great shop with great people! We meant to stop by to say thanks again before we left but didn't have time - if you see this review, tell them Andrea from Las Vegas sent you!

This was my first time renting bikes in banff. We wanted a more relaxed ride so we could explore…read morethe town of the banff and the bow river. We opted for cruiser bikes. The staff were friendly and eager to help. We received a helmet and a lock along with your bike, charging you 10 bucks for an hour or if, over 3.5 hours, it'll be 35 for the day. We found these to be pretty reasonable prices! The bikes were comfy and easy to use. There were also lots of trails and places to bike around town that could allow you the whole day to explore. We would definitely come back here. Maybe next time I'll try a mountain bike!

Their website is fairly easy to navigate and calling for inquiries was seamless. The bike trails (especially the Legacy Trail that starts in Canmore) is 26km one way. I bike for leisure and knew my 20-mile roundtrip ride would be challenging. I opted to rent out an Element ebike and it was the best choice to spare my legs while still getting a robust workout. The ebike rode like a dream! Acceleration was smooth on pavement with a touch of a button and I enjoyed covering a lot of ground/taking in some pretty amazing sights. Rentals are available for a full or half day and parking is free onsite. The bike company is located at the Rundle Mountain Lodge in Canmore.

Ben was such a wonderful help - he explained how to use their e-bikes for us who didn't know how, and made sure to help change our gears for our bikes before we started our journey. We got to test the bikes in the parking lot before starting, and he helped ensure all the bikes were safe and at full battery. They also test the bikes everyday themselves doing the Banff legacy trail (27km) to ensure all the bikes will be safe when people rent it themselves. He also told us how to get to the Banff legacy trail, and good rest stations along the way. It was so easy to pick up the bikes, and start our journey. We will definitely rent from here whenever we are back in Canmore!!!

In my years of coming to Canmore Nordic Center I have frequented this store numerous times. Until…read moretoday the service & selection has been fine, mediocre ... nothing worth remembering. I'm brand new in the market for a high end Cross Country Mountain Bike for racing (I decided last night). I expect to pay $4,000 - $6,000 for a high quality used bike. However, I really don't know much about nice bikes. I ride lots on my 9 year old Santa Cruz Tall Boy. It's outdated, and I'm outdated. It's the end of September ... I saw a saw a sign out frount - "Rental Fleet on Sale". (I thought this is the kind of shop that would have high end rentals.) With out getting into details - rude service. I can't help but think ... as I arrived at the store, looking quite uncool & probably quite old ... there was an instant judgement on the part of the sales person. Yeah ... I suspect I'm not in the perfect 25-45 year old demographic. I suspect you will have better service here if you look really good, fit & youthful. (Probably the sales folks are high end athletes with not so much interest in 'try Hard's'.?) I'll do my best not to visit here again. There are many great shops in downtown Canmore.

Trail Sports is a convenient choice for cross country ski, snow shoes, and fat bike rentals in the winter and mountain biking in the summer. Service is super friendly and while it might appear a little chaotic at times...they know what they're doing and they'll take good care of you. We found the pricing to be ok. $20.00 for two hours and $25.00 for the day. It's basically one stop shop! Lessons and rentals all in one. They have a nice retail section as well. Support local!
