I came here ready to spend my hard earned money on a tune up for my board before Mammoth. The wise man at the front asked to look at my board and told me I didn't need one, because I forgot I had it tuned up before I put it in storage. He told me "get out of here, go have fun" hahaha love CBS! I'll be back when the time comes for service or new gear! read more

These guys are such a blessing! Both my boys won snow mittens at snow day in Lake Forest! I prayed, they spun and they both won. Thank you Lord for these kind humans! I pray blessings, abundance and success over your business. In jesus name! Thank you for your kindness and wisdom! I completely forgot to bring gloves that day! read more

Best place in OC to get gear without paying an arm and a leg. Father and son run business, I had no gear at all and they helped me get everything I need! read more

I have rented skis here in the past, it was a seamless experience and very affordable. I decided to buy ski boots, I called a few stores in OC, many of them had a very limited selection. CBS ended up being our first and only spot. Mark helped us out, he was incredibly knowledgeable about fit. They had a wide selection, over 20 pairs of boots! I ended up getting a pair for under $250! I would highly recommend this place for any ski purchases or rentals! read more

The 30-35 year old white dude in the back who works on boards was rude to my husband recently and then rude to me a different day. Totally unprofessional! He should be fired because he obviously hates his job. Absolutely poor people skills! He should not be in customer service. The other guy is very helpful and the older gentleman also. Just the guy in the back needs to be nicer. read more

They clearly don't know what they are doing there and half of the staff doesn't want to be there. They have bad attitudes and ruined my brand new board that I just bought from wave rave. The guy tightened my bindings so hard into the board it screwed it up and now I can't even get the bindings off my board. Terrible place to go if you're an advanced snowboarder. I hope this place closes down and looses all revenue. read more

Great customer service and very knowledgeable about their products! They were so helpful and made it a great experience

This place is the real deal. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they really care about the craft and make sure you get what you need. They had plenty of chances to upsell me but never did. I got a pair of ski boots and they mounted two pairs of skis for me. Couldn't be happier!!!! Thanks Mark & Brian! read more

CBS Boardshop - Skis ready to be mounted. - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Amazing experience here! They have such helpful and knowledgeable staff. I definitely recommend this business!

Been going here for years for tuning, buying and renting ..excellent service and very helpful

Mark and his dad were awesome. My daughter and her friend, and dad and I rented our snowboard gear for two weeks out but changed our plans to go the following weekend and they had our gear ready. I also bought my snow pants along with my daughter's, snow pants, sock, and gloves. Stylish, on sale, and on point. Awesome people to work with. Great store. Terrific prices. Makes it convenient to get your gear so you don't lose time when you're up on the slopes having to rent there and wait in line and waste time. read more

CBS Boardshop - Snow summit. Snowboard and boot rental. Pants and gloves purchased. - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Great service and selection. We've bought several board setups here over the last few years.

Awesome experience buying a snowboard for my son. The staff member was very knowledgeable and patient. I told him my son had never boarded before and he set us up with high quality equipment that matched his needs. The very cool part came at the end when he had me watch him as he went on-line and checked his prices against everything that came up for each piece of equipment. In the cases that there was a lower price anywhere, he matched it. This was really good because obviously if you buy on-line you can't be sure if the boots or helmet will fit well and it would be reasonable for the shop to charge a premium over on-line due to the help and fitting you receive. I highly recommend this shop! read more

Solid spot to buy/rent gear! Staff is pretty chill, and if you have any questions they're more than happy to help you out! Gave me recommendations on what to look for in items, and walked me through the process for board rentals. I think for the most part it doesn't get too busy, but they do have times where it's packed in there! The prices of their items are pretty good, and they don't try to upsell you on things, felt like they were trying to help find what's the best first for you. Definitely give them a visit if you're looking for gear to buy/rent! read more

What a great place to rent ski equipment. They really made sure our family were fitted out with appropriate well fitting gear for our trip to Big Bear. Very friendly and helpful. So much faster and cheaper than trying to rent at the slopes. This is now our go to place for ski equipment and rentals. Thank you CBS. You guys rock! read more

CBS is awesome. They provided great service while I was looking to buy a new set of skis. Great recommendations and advice. I'd definitely recommend coming to CBS if you're looking for a new set up. Love this shop and appreciated their help in getting me ready for a great season! read more

Always helpful .. they go way beyond the call of duty making things right! I wouldn't go anywhere else for over 20 years .

The staff here are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable it's incredible. I've been going here for the last 12 years now. They have great prices on good quality selection of items. read more

CBS always comes through. Our local go to spot for all our snowboarding needs. Our whole family gotten our boots here. My husband and I got new boards, bindings, gloves, goggles, and I picked up a jacket. Great deals and huge selection. With that said they can get pretty busy depending when you go in. So be patient them, they do a fantastic job. read more

Came highly recommended by a few friends so I decided to check it out except I didn't know a darn thing about snowboarding or equipment or anything! LOL. I was so lucky and fortunate to have ran into sales associate named Garret who was absolutely wonderful. I told him the truth and asked for his recommendations. He thoroughly explained everything and let me know what I need, what he recommended, and even let me try on a bunch of boots and things! Left with a pair of boots and my Lib Tech Skate Banana. After I came home, I Googled the prices just to make sure I didn't get ripped off and it turns out I paid even less here at CBS than I could find online!!! HOW RARE IS THAT! Garret was so knowledgeable, patient, and professional I even left him $20 tip! I'm going to take my wife back to get her stuff before we head out for our first snowboading session in decades. If you're looking for snowboading gear, especially as a first timer like myself, check this store out and ask for Garret! read more

Came here to get my bindings adjusted on my skis. Very quick to actually do it and the technician was nice. It did get very crowded so we did have to wait since their shop is on the smaller side. Their clothes are 50% off and my husband got a nice set up for jacket and bib for the snow. I might return to get my own outfit. They have a lot of options and knowledgeable staff. read more

Easily our favorite board/ski shop in all of SoCal. Very small family owned shop tucked in the same plaza as Fuddruckers, Crunch Fitness, & Smart and Final. Great selection of ski & snowboarding gear and accessories with very reasonable pricing. The guys here are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It's pretty obvious that they love what they do. We've come in to have them install new bindings on skis and even tune up some old ones. They offer gear rental for the season (extremely affordable). They always have snow jackets, bibs, and pants at 50% off. "Pops" and his boys are always very accommodating, you won't get intimidated and feel dumb asking them anything and everything. They take the time to help you out and explain everything without trying to push a sale. Highly recommend this place for all your skiing or snowboarding needs. This is the place to go. read more

Great shop. Got tStaff is good. NO BURTON. Not a problem for me but it might bug some of my Vermont snob friends. Plenty of Mervin Mfg to choose from though. Looks like a good rental facility too. read more

Always good service, the guys know what they are doing for a good price. Way better then renting skis at the slopes

I recently discovered this shop. The people are excellent to deal with. They are knowledgeable and will even offer less expensive alternatives when you tell them what you want. They have top of the line products and turn around time for service is second to none. Highly recommend this shop. read more

Go too dream runs instead I bought boots one time here and they barely helped me when I came back cause I had problems with the sizing and I ask about there return policy and some old guy at front just shrugged and gave me attitude so I dipped by the time I was out the door he tried to ask me if it was a fitting problem by that time I was already over it read more

Knowledgeable staff. Great deals on snow gear. CBS hooked up my friend with a nice bundle

Went to a few shops and the guy who helped me here was very helpful and patient Helped fit my wife across different boots and gave advice on which one she should use. Didn't try to upset like other shops. Helped heat mold my boots for free when I mentioned they weren't comfortable read more

CBS is a gift to all of us. They have a killer selection in stock of awesome pants, jackets, boards, and bindings. All the sizes and brands you like and their prices are killer. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs great gear. A true one stop snow shop in OC. read more

Great shop, very knowledgeable and helpful finding the right gear for the entire family (beginner kids & adults to advanced adults)

Went to CBS to get my board waxed and boots molded. Very easy process with a helpful staff. I will be back sure.

Wife and I went snowboarding for the first time and got our rental gear from here for Mammoth. Service was great from sizing to pickup and return. Would recommend for any beginners. read more

I haven't left a Yelp review in a long time but we had such a great experience here that I had to break the streak. My mom got me snowboard boots from here last Christmas and raved about the shop, so when my husband wanted to buy a pair of ski boots we decided to start here instead of being lazy as usual and buying a pair online. We went on a Saturday and the place was packed. But we were still given fantastic service by Mark (one of the owners I think, along with his dad), who was helping 700 people at once. Major major points that he never tried to upsell us at any point--he asked what level my husband skis at and only showed us boots at the intermediate level (he actually ended up getting an advanced pair that was nicer, but only because they were on sale from last season at the same price as the intermediate boots). My husband picked a pair and they fit well but not perfectly. So Mark did this thing where he heated up the insoles and had my husband stand in them for awhile so they would fit perfectly. I'm sure that's a normal thing, but again--700 people in the shop and the boots fit fine, so I felt spending the extra 30 minutes on this process was above and beyond good service. We then went on a ski trip that weekend and realized he needed to be able to tighten up the bindings more after the fitting process, so he brought them back and they tightened the location of the bindings for free. Also, I will say that the staff here really knows their stuff. My dad mentioned something random about a super old pair of ski boots he had loved, and Mark knew exactly the model that he was talking about even though it is apparently way past obsolete (my dad ended up buying a new pair of boots that day too because of how knowledgeable and helpful Mark was). All in all we got very high quality boots for an EXCELLENT price, and the service was phenomenal. So glad we decided to come in to CBS instead of picking a random pair online. read more

We love CBS. I have been renting there over the years, better to spend the time down the mountain rather than fuss with the rental people on the mountain. It saves time and you get better gear. We wanted to get annual rentals for my 8 and 11 year old. Marcus got us great gear that we can keep and return at the end of the season for a reasonable price. We bought a snowboard, boots and bindings for my 16 year old son for Christmas. He was stoked and the price was more reasonable that I expected. I am going back next week to get new boots and fit them to my skiis. Prices on ski boots are as good as spot online and I like having a professional opinion and fit and support a local business. The ski outerwear is a no brainer. I will be getting my jacket there too this year. Better priced than the outlets and it is all good gear. read more

Great selection of boots and snowboards. we were looking for a snowboard boots . They were super helpful with selecting the right model and their prices are lower than other stores or online. They have ski/ snowboard apparels 50% off all year long. They have rentals and repairs. Make to sure to check them out. read more
