I would give this place 4.5 stars if it was an option. The service was good. I was helped by…read moresomeone who was passionate about snowboarding/skiing who actually wanted to teach me about everything down to what interests me to try and figure out what type of snowboard would suit me best. The service was awesome! I love passionate employees they are THE BEST. Also, the inventory was a bit slim when I visited in January, which the employees mentioned was a time when they are moving and have moved/sold most of their product for the season. For the most part the value was great. They even worked out a deal for me when I put together a big order, so the value was also good on snowboard gear. Thanks for the assistance.

Best ski shop in the area. Their youth ski rental program is great for kids who can take advantage…read more After taking advantage of the program for many years with both my boys, because my son is a harder than average skier, we decided he needed more aggressive equipment than was offered in the program. The Ski Company usually has a few pairs of higher end demo skis (very gently used factory demonstrators) available and that's what we opted to buy instead for a price well below list. I have also bought quite a few pairs of skis for myself based on thier recommendations, and couldn't be happier. Prices are always fair. This is the only ski shop I will buy from in MI.

My daughter has a membership with Rei, so we visit every now and again. I use a mobility scooter…read more While they do have automatic doors, the button on the inside door is so far back in the alcove, that I hit it and could not get turned around before the door closed. There were many areas that I was not able to get to. The socks, which is what I came for, are on a wall at the back of the clearance area. The floor was so covered in merchandise and the displays were so close together, that I could not get near them. The clothing aisles were all diagonal and impossible to navigate. Lastly, and most upsetting to me, my daughter and I were checking out at the same time and her cashier was really pleasant, greeted her warmly and kept up a stream of converation, but the one that waited on me was rude and barely spoke. I can't say for sure that this was due to my disability, but what else am I to think? Evidently Rei doesn't care for disabled people. Or maybe they think that people with disabilities do not need active merchandise, so they don't have to cater to them. Either way it was sad to be treated negatively just because I have to use a scooter to get around.

On occasion we come here to shop. I like to sip water all day long. I take an insulated cup to…read morework, I use one at home, I even like them on road trips in the car, so I was looking for another good cup to add to my mix. I heard Yeti was a great brand to keep the water cold for a very long time. I have been looking for a color I liked and found a nice red one here called Harvest Red. I do not think Yeti is discounted very often, so I probably just paid they typical price, but I liked their assortment. Their customer service was really good. Many people talked to me to make sure I found what I needed and they were all very friendly and personable. They do ask you to join their club. I do not buy enough for it to be worth my while but it seems like a decent deal if you do buy here often since it is one fairly small payment for life and allows you to accumulate points or get a discount. They have a small but nice shoe selection, and I like the clothing selection as well. If you are interested in a smaller, less overwhelming sporting goods shop, this is a nice one.

I'm really glad someone brought a ski shop back to Birmingham. Once again (Like the old days when…read moreBavarian Village was on Townsend) they managed to score an excellent location. I'm also impressed that Don Thomas has evolved into more of a sporthaus rather than a boutique ski shop. Carrying superior brands such as Volkl, Atomic, K2, Burton, Rossingnol, Technica-- to name a few. What I also learned is that in the move from Telegraph (old location) to Old Woodward, they decided to go green. Go to their website and check out the press link and read the whole story-- it's nice to know that people really are thinking about what difference THEY can make. I also like that the staff really listens to what you need that will fit your budget. Definitely a fan

I needed new boots as I had been nursing my Burton boots for far too long…read more I was impressed by their knowledge, their selection, and their willingness to spend time on me, knowing I wasn't committed to making a purchase. I was allowed to try on several different types of boots until I finally settled on the pair I bought. Two days later, I brought my boyfriend in to their tent sale. They gave him the same time and attention, allowed him to try on several boots, look at several different pairs of skis, and allowed us to stay even after they closed. My boyfriend bought skis, poles, and boots and was very happy with the experience. Overall, we were both very happy, and this will be my go-to shop moving forward.

I'm super happy that the money i spent at PEOPLE didn't go to waste. I'm even happier that he gave me a few free PEOPLE stickers with my board purchase. he offered to mount my bindings but i declined since i like to adjust them to my liking and they were also about to close. In conclusion, if you're thinking about buying a new board, save yourself a headache and just go to PEOPLE. super honest and knowledgeable employees.
