Christy Sports in Fort Collins stands out because it focuses on real ski and mountain performance…read morebrands, not just generic outdoor clothing. You'll find serious ski apparel labels like Helly Hansen, The North Face, Bogner, 686, Armada, Cotopaxi, Kari Traa, Obermeyer, Spyder, Smartwool, and Patagonia. These brands are known for technical ski jackets, waterproof shells, base layers, and insulation built for real alpine conditions, which is why people who actually ski in Colorado recognize them immediately. They also carry top-tier ski and snowboard equipment brands that serious riders trust, including Atomic, Blizzard, Black Crows, Rossignol, Salomon, K2, Nordica, Head, Volkl, Fischer, Dynastar, and Lib Tech. That combination of high-end apparel and performance gear is what sets Christy Sports apart from many other outdoor stores in the area. It's not trying to be everything for everyone. It's a focused mountain outfitter where skiers and snowboarders can find the brands and expertise they actually need.

I was lucky enough to be met by an associate named Uli right as I walked in. I purchased ski boots…read morehere a few seasons ago, and it was time for some adjustments. Uli readily listened to my concerns, was determined to make my boots right, and did not make the process feel rushed at all despite it being a very busy time of year. He was endlessly knowledgeable and let me pick his brain about boots and skiing, was kind, an excellent communicator, friendly, and very professional. Uli had me thinking about this tremendously positive exchange all the way home and how grateful I was for him to take the time and effort so that I could ski comfortably in my boots. Thanks to Uli's outstanding customer service, I will definitely be back in the store should I need any further assistance or gear. Thank you SO much!!! Well done!

I asked them to please fix the zipper so I could try it on. Basically they ignored me. Went back to putting the furniture together then I found a sick jacket that I was interested in and it had no tag on it no price tag. I asked them again. Could you please tell me the price on this jacket? I was ignored again. I then stated that was there someone that could help me that I was not going to be a nuisance for because obviously you two are ignoring me and you're putting together patio furniture I've asked to for assistance twice once to fix the zipper of a jacket. I was interested in and the second was to find out the price of a second jacket. I was interested in and both times I was basically shunned ignored and treated very poorly. Once I stated my displeasure and told them I used to be in retail and I would never have treated a customer the way they were treating me. They finally snapped to it and got me the results that I needed. Got me the price on the one jacket and fixed the zipper on the other jacket that was off track very unprofessional. I asked them.

I have 25+ years of snowboarding under my belt and I'm VERY picky about my gear. On a whim I dropped into Angles before heading to the mountains, and I'm sure glad I did! Had a great convo with Nate about my riding style and he took time to set me up with not one but THREE different boards to try for the week.

Their attention to our needs and genuinely caring to ensure we were happy and taken care of the entire time during our event was outstanding.

Reminded him by text 4 days in advance and he again assured me they would be ready. Day of, at noon, I went to pick up the skis and they were not ready, but he said if I came back at 5p (just before my flight) he would be done. Went back at 5p and they were not done. After swearing at me that he had too many f**ing tasks to do and too many customers so it wasn't his fault he said he could finish the tune while I waited for 10min and charged me full price. When I brought my skis in days later to adjust the bindings I was informed by a the new shop that "the skis have not been touched at all, the edges are so dull I can safely run my finger with pressure, there are 4-5 core shots needing repair for safety reasons, there is no basework, no grinding, and no wax." This shop charged half of Snow Hut and did a professional job and a full tune that you can see and feel. I have called my credit card company to revoke the charge since no work was done on the skis.

I've never thought one ski shop was better than another. Buyer beware, I've always said. Wrong. This place has my business now, now matter where I live. I went in to ask about demo-ing some skis I'd read about. I'm a 63 year-old expert woman skier. Riley listened, paid attention and made some suggestions. I'm thrilled because now I am the proud owner of the Stoëckli Nela 88s and the Roxa boots I never had even heard of. Pricey? You bet. Worth it? Absolutely. Riley said I'd make it good if I didn't like the equipment. He won't get these back over my dead body. I'm skiing better at my age now than I've ever skied. Sounds like hyperbole? Believe whatever you want. I'm just sayin'.
