Although it is a bit of a way out, I have been impressed with the customer service, price deals and…read moreequipment supply inventory at the Golf and Ski Warehouse. I went in today and had yet another excellent experience with them. But let's start at how I got to really like these guys (and gals). I was in need of new ski boots. After a disgusting customer service experience at a custom made boot maker which conveniently disowned their warranty, I spent a good two months researching and coming up with two finalist models. I may not be the world's expert on ski gear but I've been skiing for forty years, I know the type, brand and style of boots I want, and after all, it's my feet. So I went to my local ski store and I got a dismissive "you take what we have". A friend of mine clued me in to Golf and Ski Warehouse and I went in on the defensive, considering the two previous experiences. Their sales staff is not only knowledgeable but was actually concerned with what I wanted and how it fit and how I skied and what kind of skiing and a myriad of other parameters. I left so satisfied that I decided I'd come back. Repeatedly. I've had the boots now for two years and I absolutely love them. What's more, when I enter, I usually see the same salesperson who invariably asks me how they fit. That's customer service.... They also have a superb shop for ski maintenance. For the last two years, I've taken our skis there for pre-season tunes, specialty repairs and end of season tune. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I've been impressed at the entry and shopping protocols they have adopted. Max 20 people in the store, masks are absolutely required, sanitizer everywhere, and credit card transactions are contactless. It gives the customer a safe feeling when the staff is also taking precautions and enforcing safe protocols. Next purchase is a new set of skis. And I'm in the research mode.....

The West Leb location has quickly become my go-to golf club location. In the past 12 months, I've…read morehad numerous fittings for various parts of my bag, and feel good about every visit. Their selection is very impressive, and covers most, if not all the OEM's clubs that you would want to try. The free fittings are also more comfortable than expected, and I've never felt rushed, or "sold to." During an iron fitting, I ended up taking 2 hours and tried 16 different models, all trying to find our perfect fit, and never once felt obligated to get out of there, or to purchase (even though I did get the irons). Then they were very good about putting in a special order for the custom options we settled on, as well as shipping them to me for free. The driver fitting was equally about 2 hours, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. It didn't hurt that the rewards program they have made for a nice discount on the driver purchase. I've also been for two wedge fittings at different times, and the first time my swing was off, and rather than trying to force a sale, the fitter suggested reconvening at a different time, which was relieving. I came back, and am happy with the results. Great store selection, low pressure salespeople, easy custom ordering, and fantastic rewards program. With the driving range across the parking lot, it makes for a must visit fitting location that I recommend to all my VT friends. EDIT: I should also note, each time there, I've dealt with a different salesperson and each one has provided me with a solid professional experience.

We bought snowboard boots there about a month ago, and that experience was great. But what really…read moreset them apart was the service a month later to see if the boots could be refitted after some discomfort with their use. Randy took the time to really evaluate the needs of my daughter, the rider. He explained various reasons why her foot shape may cause pain and worked to expand the boots in certain spots. He took a lot of time to make sure the fit was just right. In this day and age of home delivery and service through bots, it was so nice to experience a company that stands behind their product, even after the sale. Highly recommend!

Except this time we had three members of the family bought boots. Every aspect of our experience was top notch. Max, the boot fitter, is an expert. As well as a personable individual. As well as a good salesman. The store is an emporium of anything related to skiing, boarding and cycling. They carry a huge selection of clothing and accessories too. Impressive place. Minutes away from the Skyeship Gondola. And hands down, about the best I've seen.

The resort is owned by the venerable Woodstock Inn, a gem of national distinction. And the upscale air is evident in the friendliness and poise of the staff at Saskadena. A huge lodge with historical pictures everywhere, including memorializing the first motorized life transportation in the US, a 900 foot rope tow built in 1934. Formerly named Suicide Six, the resort centers around a modern yet charming lodge with a huge hearth, a bustling cafeteria, and a well stocked bar. The resort is a scant eight minute ride from the beautiful town of Woodstock, where the Rockefeller and Billings legacy is still visible. Parking at Saskadena Six is not an issue, the parking areas are close to the lodge and a ramp takes the visitor to the lodge area. Saskadena Six has been a part of the Indy Pass for a few years now, and it has become a family favorite. Entering the lodge, one can perform ticket purchases inside or outside. Donning boots and equipment is done in benches and chairs in the lodge, with inside cubicles around the walls. The lodge has plate glass windows on its entire slope facing side, providing beautiful views of the ski area. Once ready to hit the slopes, the nearest lift is the fixed quad that takes the visitor to the 1,200 foot summit. The resort has a 650-foot vertical drop, featuring 24 runs on 100 acres.. Besides the quad, Saskadena sports a double lift on the far side of the resort, and a J-bar. The challenging Show Off run is a steep, mogul filled track, while The Face and Crystal are parallel black diamonds. Several other runs feature both natural, groomed and mogul filled. Saskadena Six usually gets 110 inches of yearly snow, augmented by a vigorous snowmaking system. Dining at Saskadena Six is quick and efficient. A roped off area separates the alcohol-served areas from the rest of the lodge. Several local brews are on tap, as well as national selections. Skiing Saskadena is a pleasure. Small but quite pleasant, devoid of the stress of the larger ski areas in New England. Its history and charm are welcome assets in an industry where sterility seems to be popular. Terrain is rated 30% beginner, 40% intermediate and 30% advanced.

They have a food court with quick options, a bar with a more elaborate menu, and an indoor and outdoor fire pit. Their bar/restaurant Perley's is where we had lunch. My only complaint was the prices for this place. $25 for a cheese burger and fries is criminal. I would stick with the foodcourt instead of bar food.

Easy to access and plenty of parking too. Will be further investigating these e-bikes.
