If you can, rent your skis off the mountain or get the insurance. These shysters will try to cheat…read moreyou otherwise. I rode for a day and a half on nothing but snow and ice. I never took them off course, never did jumps, never went over rocks or sticks. When I returned them, they asked if I bought the insurance and when I said no, they blamed me for two gashes on the skis. If those gashes came from me, then their skis are soft and you shouldn't rent from them anyway. But I'm certain they weren't. There is absolutely nothing I rode over that could have caused that. I should have just walked out but instead paid their ridiculous fee. But lesson learned. Not getting my skis from them again and since they are the main shop in town, I suggest you get your skis out of town (I never had problems with the shop at the bottom of the mountain, but they are connected).

Just rented skis and poles (I have my own boots) for two days and was very happy. I was assisted…read moreby Levi, who was really knowledgeable about the skis and was able to match them to my ability (advanced Intermediate), performance goals (agile in turns but stiff and secure on ice), and the demands of the mountain given current conditions. Not surprisingly, I ended up on their Demo skis (I am very demanding), but those were still cheaper than even the regular sport skis at the Snowshoe rental places -- and significantly cheaper ($17/day) than Demo skis would have been at Snowshoe. They put a fresh coat of wax on them before giving them to me -- a very nice touch (and much appreciated). I recommend reserving your skis 24 hours in advance online to get the 10% discount. Don't worry about which level of ski to rent (regular, sport, or demo) as they will apply the discount to whatever level of ski you end up with. The store is located on the mountain near the Silver Creek ski area which is about 2.6 miles from the main Villiage Ski areas (and where night skiing occurs). We picked up the skis by car when we first arrived the evening before at no extra charge, but it is also accessible via the snowshoe bus. Note: While writing this I read a negative review from last year regarding insurance. I did not get insurance, and noone mentioned anything when I returned the skis with several course-of-skiing gouges/scratches on the bottoms from ice and rocks on the slopes from grooming so perhaps last year was a one-off. You should not have to pay for damage from normal on-piste skiing.

Mountain Kids is a godsend at the Snowshoe Village. They cater to kids, period, and their offerings range from the upscale to the quotidian. It is also a good place to try if you have a real small frame and need form-fitting ski underwear, given that most retailers are now catering to the more portly and larger American body type. Also one of the few places where you can get safety gear (goggles, helmets, etc) sized to the under 15 crowd, an important item in a ski resort. Their location two doors from Starbucks and overlooking the Village at Snoshoe is ideal. Besides ski clothing, they also have an extensive selection of toys and other youngster necessities. I'm glad that Intrawest and Snowshoe chose to open a kids' store, lending an even more family atmosphere to the resort.

This is 2.5 stars really because while meh, I've experienced better (and I NEVER say "meh"), you…read morereally need this Ski Barn location because if, like me, you don't ski or snowboard much, you won't have all the shit you need. Thus, Ski Barn earns a three-star rating for being in the right place at the right time. The prices are semi-high, although the shop offers a 10 percent discount for college students (and you best believe I'm still milking my undated GW college ID from last year). The selection is weak, but that is usually the case with noncorporate boutiques and stores. The customer service, in true Canaan style, was pretty much nonexistent. I picked up some socks, snowboard mittens and a sunglasses band. We also rented our snowboard equipment from Ski Barn because the quality and selection here were better, and the prices cheaper, than Canaan Valley Resort, where we were staying and 'boarding. I'll be back, I'm sure, not out of desire, but necessity.

Definitely forget renting at either Timberline or Canaan Valley and head to the conveniently…read morelocated Ski Barn (mid-way between both ski resorts). Equipment rental prices are much more affordable at the Barn and you can pick up all those expensive necessities that you need, but might not necessarily want to make the investment in (like ski bibs, helmets, etc.). If you reserve online, you get a 10% discount on your total, which is always helpful. I will say that on the two occasions I visited recently, at the first visit - the staff handled a large crowd with a much appreciated polite efficiency, however on our return, when the store was empty - I found it to be that cliche ski rental place experience, a bunch of staff standing around with somewhat of a snitty attitude that they had to process our returning rentals and interrupt their story (which was about 'poop' btw). So, while customer service might be hit or miss, this is pretty much your best option for skiing around Davis.

Then when checking out they ran one of my cards where it was around a thousand dollars. We came back and returned our snowboards and skis then the manager told us our payment did not go thru. So we gave another card cause it did not show on the card since the reception was very bad im guessing. So we paid and left and a day Later we noticed they charged my one card along with my other card twice. So they owed me almost two thousand dollars. Called four times in two days and the response was none and the last response was they are too busy to talk. So at this point they are stealing from me and not responding. So buyers beware as we will never be back to them nor will any of our other family and friends. Horrible experience.

She made sure every pair of shoes we tried on would be a perfect fit and would stay that way once the shoe was broken in. We were buying Birkenstock's and when she learned it was my first pair ever she made sure I knew that I should only wear them a couple hours a day for a week. They also give you 20% off a second pair and a percentage of your sale back in the form of a gift certificate to use on your next purchase. This is a great incentive to make a future purchase but the real reason we will be back is because of the attention and truly personalized feel of the experience with our associate. Everyone was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. They didn't make us feel like we needed to make a decision and get out. I recommend everyone visit their store.
