I bought new boots from A Racers Edge and was unhappy with the process. Most of the negative…read morereviews seem to be from people who didn't buy new or tried to walk-in without an appointment. I hope my input is more useful for anyone else considering a new purchase, and maybe it can help the shop owner identify some gaps in quality control. *Purchased on 4/7, follow up on 4/11. Hawx Ultra 110 Boa @ $979* I know this store probably encounters a lot of entitled tourists, but that's not who I am. I'm a bit shy and easy going, and sometimes you just don't quite realize how bad an experience was until afterwards. In retrospect I should have bought elsewhere, but was excited to get boots and hit the slopes quickly. That's where I'm coming from and why I went through with a purchase I didn't feel good about. The guy helping me had an attitude. He wasn't flat out rude, but definitely had an air of superiority to him. He's a local, expert skier, combined with a lifetime of experience, and I was just another tourist he had to help. It was a dismissive attitude and every question was answered as if it was a dumb one. He talked to the other workers just as much as he talked to me, if not more. I got the impression the shop owner was not around on those days. He asked me some basic questions without much follow up and made some incorrect judgments based on that limited info. He quickly measured my foot, and told me what I suspected, I have flat low volume feet on the narrow side with some pronation. I told him it makes sense because most of my running shoes are LV stability shoes. He pulled out some fancy, high end boots to try first. They felt good and it was even from a line of boots I had noted as a possible choice while doing my own research. He then pulled out a much stiffer (race?) boot which I knew wasn't going to be good. The 3rd pair was a MV boot which I knew probably wouldn't work either since we knew my foot was LV. To recap, I was asked limited questions, quickly measured, and tried on 3 boots total. The second two seemed to be ones he knew would be wrong for me and push me towards the first more expensive ones. This was nothing like the boot fittings I've heard of. People told me about trying on tons of boots, working to replicate perfect positioning, and spending 2 hours finding their ideal fit. I was in a bit of shock when he seemed finished with me after I tried on the first boots a second time. My fitting was wrapping up after only 30 minutes and no other options were being presented. I ended up paying $900 for a boot that was being sold for $500-600 at every other place I could find. I didn't realize this until I got back to my room and looked it up. Immediate buyer's remorse sunk in. I just didn't have the nerve to return them at that point. I hoped he would make it right during the follow up. I would have been satisfied paying the full MSRP price difference if I was receiving a true boot fitting experience and quality time towards a perfect fit, but I didn't receive either of those things. It's also important to mention that he misquoted the boot for $800 until we reached the register, casually noting the difference. During my follow up I told him my inner ankle bones were rubbing. He said a footbed might help, but he could try one thing first. I saw my opening to mention the price difference. I said "I know I'm paying for your expertise and time, but noticed a $300-400 difference. Do you think you could give me a discount on a footbed or anything to help me feel a bit better about that?" He rudely dismissed it and said "well if you wanna buy the wrong boot somewhere else and bring it here it would cost you hundreds for me to fix it. I quickly dropped it, but disagree with everything he said. I could've easily bought the same boot based on my own research. He didn't do any worthwhile alterations or add any value suggesting a line of boots I was already eyeing. He unscrewed the boot boards and tossed the screws aside, "ah you don't need those." Even if they were not important, I would have preferred he kept them as the manufactured intended or at least saved the screws. He duct taped some inner heal wedges while distractedly chatting with the other workers. The right felt a bit better, but the left felt worse. He replied, "That's not possible cause the inserts make it so your ankle leans the other way now." He didn't try to address the issue any further. The next day I skied for an hour before having to stop and check them. I found the issue... It was completely out of place. The pictures attached show how I found them and the lack of effort in the work. I borrowed tape and fixed them myself. 2 hours wasted on my final day. TLDR; didn't get a proper boot fitting experience, over paid by around 40%, had to fix sloppy alteration work myself, probably got the wrong boot. Overall really bummed at the waste of money and time, but mostly just disappointed I didn't get a real boot fitting experience.

Looking to finally upgrade my ski boots after 15yrs (yea, I know that is about 2x longer than I…read moreshould have been skiing on them). Podium in Frisco was recommended by several friends - just Wow. The ski boot selection is completely over the top. There must have been 30 different kinds of boots to choose from (total for both men's and women's). The team there (Reilly and John) treated us like royalty and did everything necessary to make sure we (i) got the boots that fit our feet (my wife has pretty unique feet), and (ii) boots that fit our ski-ability. The boots were molded to our feet, heels, etc. and she got a heating unit - pretty sick!! The price for what we got was super reasonable - I checked on the web while sitting at the shop and Podium was ~20% cheaper than what I found from virtually every online store for the boots I bought. I skied on them the next day and it was INSANE how much more comfortable I was and how much more control I had skiing. Yes, I said "comfort" and "ski boots" in the same sentence, crazy. For anyone buying boots or any ski gear (I also bought a new helmet), I highly recommend Podium. (I gather they do mountain bike and other cycling gear in the spring/summer)

I love skiing, but my completely flat and wide feet have causedl problems when it comes to…read morebootfitting. I heard great things about Tom, the bootfitter at the Beaver Creek Sports Village location. i decided to try him out. In March 2025, I bought new boots which he recommended, and paid for a custom footbed and bootfitting. First day on the snow was great. I brought the boots back to Tom to adjust buckles, to snug in the toe box, and to fix two small hotspots on my shinbones. The boots were ready the next morning. They fit perfectly. I have never been more snug or comfortable, and I am surprised the two go together. Footbeds and other alterations have me canted forward in a perfect position. Toes touch the boot toe but do not mash, and the heels cannot lift. I was walking with them tightened with no pain or shin bang. Skiing control improved. Boot price without the footbed and fitting was maybe $50 higher than from an online retailer, but the shop will adjust them for life if asked. I felt the footbed and other charges were reasonable. I researched Surefoot as well. All in, my boots cost about 50% as much as Surefoot. I couldn't be happier, and I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Tom.

Whatever you do STEER CLEAR of Ms. STEPHANIE HALE at the Beaver Creek Sports shop in the Beaver…read moreCreek Village!!! we have been coming to Beaver Creek for over a decade and never ever have we experienced anything but the most gracious and proactive customer service -- in shops, on the slopes, at hotels, restaurants, residences -- everywhere....

First, she accused us of doing something her (very helpful) colleague actually did -- then spent 3 minutes yelling at us instead of hearing us explain the situation, and upon finally understanding what really happened, never apologized -- turning away only to yell at the next unsuspecting customers.

I reserved four e-bikes for Sunday, June 14, and specified bike sizes--including a small bike for…read moreone rider--more than three weeks in advance. When we arrived, there was only one employee working (Mike) and another group ahead of us, so we waited about 15 minutes before the rental process could begin. Once we were helped, we were informed that the small bike we had reserved was unavailable. Mike then spent roughly 30 minutes trying to repair another small bike in the back. After he brought it out, we did a test ride in the parking lot, but the bike immediately displayed an error code. We were then told it would not provide any pedal-assist power. At that point, we gave up on getting a working bike from Breckenridge Ski & Sport and went across the street to another rental shop. Remarkably, they had a properly sized bike ready for us almost immediately. Once we got on the trail, the three bikes rented from Breckenridge Ski & Sport all felt noticeably underpowered compared to the bike from the other shop, which easily outperformed them throughout the ride. The online reservation process was straightforward, but the experience at the store was frustrating and disappointing. Reserving specific bike sizes weeks in advance should ensure those bikes are available and in working condition when customers arrive. I appreciate Mike's efforts to solve the problem, but the lack of preparation and equipment readiness significantly impacted our experience.

He encouraged me to visit several other shops to try on boots they didn't carry, and after going to multiple places, it was obvious--Tim was by far the most knowledgeable and the most helpful. I originally came in with seasonal rentals, and he didn't even care whether I bought boots from him--he just wanted me in the right ones. He even called around to other local shops to find the exact pair I wanted and sent me there, knowing he'd lose the sale. That kind of integrity and dedication is rare. Tim made a customer for life. I can't wait to work with him again when I'm ready to buy skis. Highly, highly recommend!

We followed all the instructions and returned and locked up the bikes in Frisco and my daughter in law called the shop and they said the shuttle driver was leaving the shop and would pick us up and bring us back. We waited about 20 minutes and saw the shuttle pull up and went out and said we were there to be taken back. The shuttle driver would hardly speak to us and said he wasn't there to bring us back. We explained we had our 18 month old grand daughter and had just spoken to the shop and were told he would bring us back. We asked him to call the shop and confirm. He made a call to someone and then proceeded to ignore us. I approached him and said we have been standing here for 10 minutes while you were on the phone and you continued to ignore us. HE said you have to take the municipal bus back to Breckenridge and would not help us. I went and told my family of five we would have to take the bus back instead. As we walked out we were uncertain of where to find the bus and the shuttle driver was back in the van and wouldn't even tell us where to catch the bus. I wrote to Mountain Wave and told them of the experience and never heard back from them. Really sad because this was the 3rd or 4th time we had rented from them, but we will never go back to them. There are too many bike shops in Breckenridge to put up with this type service. Brook Smith-Dallas, TX
