Regardless if you would like to rent, buy new gear, or buy used gear, I recommend you come here before you go anywhere else. A major tip- If you're looking to rent for the entire season, do not wait until peak season because they will likely be out of many rentals by then. Be sure to start the process of renting your skis earlier in the season. However, even if they're out of rentals, they have phenomenal sales on a lot of their ski equipment and it may be a better investment for you to buy from them. I can't stress how friendly, patient, knowledgeable and helpful the staff is. They're very thorough and helpful with all of their services. Highly recommend!

It would veer off to the left or right when applied as well as squeal annoyingly. Amity installed a set of hydraulic brakes that operate perfectly.

To us, it was just a ski shop: snow gear, goggles, jackets, repeat. But then, in late March '25, hubs spotted a large Teak patio sale sign. We both did a double-take. Curious, we rolled in one Sunday, about an hour before closing and let's just say, the surprise was real. The showroom is spotless. And that earthy teak scent lingered everywhere. The teak patio pieces were gorgeous- just priced a bit out of range. But we lucked out big time and scored a black metal patio set already rust-treated. A solid win. Service was outstanding. We spotted a floor model and liked what we saw. We'd asked if we could take it home- as long as they were willing to knock a little off the price for it being on display. They didn't blink. Deal done. What's more, we'd also asked about delivery since we're not far off and two of the guys delivered the set in a snap!

We are advanced skiers and on our first day out skiing, we found out pretty quick that our skis were railed.

They could immediately see the poor tuneup on our skis and were told that we were lucky we didn't get hurt as a result. Our skis were great after the second tune up. Guess we'll be going elsewhere.
