My wife bought new boots, not at this store, and had problems with the fit. Brent bent over backwards to help her out and after several adjustments over multiple visits they now fit her perfectly. He is one of those boot fitting geniuses, that the Tahoe area needs. I have talked to him multiple times about skis and bindings and he really knows his stuff. If you need any help with ski equipment, or skiing, he is also a youth team coach, Brent is your man. Blue zone is lucky to have him.

Prior to the 2024/2025 Season, I had not skied for maybe 25 years? I don't remember why I stopped…read morethis personally enjoyable sport, other that family and professional obligations probably filled up the timescape. After moving to Genoa in late 2020, it took awhile to direct my attention to skiing in general and Heavenly in particular. That happened through a combination of conversations with friends, a good deal on an EPIC Tahoe Value Pass, and realizing that it was about 20 minutes from the House to Heavenly's Boulder Lodge Parking. As far as the Skis, bindings, and boots went, I opted for a season-long rental package through BlueZone Sports in Carson City. I had to buy the poles separately and I already had Helmet, Goggles, and Ski Bib in hand. I ended up with Fischer RC Fire (165) skis with RS9 bindings, and Dalbello Vantage 4F Boots. Looking back on the season, I think that was a good combination, lacking any frame of reference to what might have been better. I went out to Heavenly 8 times during the season, which wasn't a lot, but was a good start, largely on groomed Blue slopes. I'll definitely be out next year and probably with purchased equipment. The BlueZone Sports shop at Lake Tahoe has a Labor Day sale for previous model skis and demos, so we'll see what happens. I was happy with the service that BlueZone provided at both the beginning and end of the ski season. I particularly appreciated the patience shown to this "old guy" as he initially ventured forth and then finished up with a great deal of Alpine satisfaction.

Other than the entrance moving, the interior is fairly the same?!?! Well, it did seem like the snow board section got way larger? At the expense of the ski section? Open 7 days a week. From 11am to 5pm, 6pm or 7pm. See my pictures. Service - Always good. Greeted when we walked in and EVERY employee asked me if I needed help. Price - Expensive unless on sale.

One season they even let me switch from a snowboard to skis mid day without any issues, which I really appreciated. Super accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend if you want great prices and great service. This is my go to spot every season.

I love going to Tahoe Dave's whenever I come up to Tahoe to go snowboarding. I've been coming here…read morefor years before I got my own snowboard. Everyone who works here is very chill, very kind and willing to answer all of my questions. I came to Tahoe recently and realized I didn't bring a pair of snowpants with me so I rented a pair here for $20. Otherwise, for those looking to rent a snowboard package or ski package, it's about $50 for one day. Make sure to use the 10% coupon they have on their site to save some money. If you have the time to do it, make sure to pick up your skis/snowboards the day before after 4PM. They let you pick up the day before so the mad rush in the morning of people renting equipment won't slow you down. It comes at no additional cost. You must return all equipment by 7PM.

However, if you're in need of a repair or maintenance, expect to be without your bike for a few weeks, regardless of the job.
