OMGGG..I can not rave enough about this place!!! Ever since a good friend recommended it to me years ago, my fam and I have since come back for our EVERY snow need. PF Powder (aka P.F. McMullin Snowboard and Ski Co) is a cute small business ~ literally your one stop shop, specializing in all things ski & snowboard. It's located in Santa Ana in the deserted looking Edinger Business Park. They are definitely known for their discount prices on all winter/snow-related gear, outerwear, and accessories, as well as services like waxing, tuning, and rentals. When you walk in, the store is so neatly arranged and organized, it's super easy to find everything you are looking for. After coming here for so long, I legit just discovered that upstairs houses their "gently used" section, for those looking for an even more affordable option. The workers are super friendly, with a chill vibe. Everyone is knowledgeable & always willing you help you. My lil fam of 4 snowboards every year, so we have come here (year after year) to update our snow outfits, to googles, boots, snow socks, thermals, & beanies. You name it, they have it..AND we've bought it! Even when my kiddies wear younger..babies, we even got sledding/tubing gear here, so they could play in the snow. We really appreciate the affordable prices ~ ranging to discounted ones to more pricey name brands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

It's been like 20 years since I've gone or touched a snowboard. I was out of touch with all the new gear and board types but the two people working there were SO helpful with everything. Helped me pick a board, boots, and bindings. It's been so long since I have been anywhere that actually has good customer service. Im glad to see some stores still have it. read more

Such a cool small business. The workers here give off the hip chill outdoorsy vibe- like they know what they're doing, could scale a mountain, and they would never be bothered by anything. We were greeted multiple times stepping into the store and asked if we needed any help. We just came here for a snow jacket to prepare for real cold. The inside has cool decorations, snowboard brands etc kind of like a little wooden fort. Theres even a laddered second floor where they sell 2nd hand items. The store is divided into sections for board care/rentals, they have curtained fitting space and a toilet. They even have helmets and ski shoes. The prices here for snow jackets/gear (have pants too) are definitely cheaper than other name brand outdoor places and good quality (150-200), even cheaper than some outlets (but im not too well versed in brand comparisons so dont quote me if you are seasoned). I I think accessories might be cheaper at outlets?, but its more convenient to get everything in one place. They have toe warmers and google covers. They even have the board conditions for different mountains written on a white board as if you were up there in a resort. It would be great if they had a diagram for beginners of what clothing items/essentials to get including accessories and thermal layers as the store overall is very approachable to a southern californian newbie. The only thing is that it is a bit hole in the wall, parking is a bit confusing as you do look like you're pulling up to an inn. But there is a parking lot and we seemed okay parking there for our time here. Had a good time here, would recommend it to anyone looking to get into winter sports. read more

I like the welcoming crew that works here. They're all so knowledgeable about the gear they have in for the season. Cami help me pick out my first snowboard. She helped me find one that was the right fit; size and style wise. They have a huge selection for goggles, helmets, boots, bindings, beanies, jackets and pants too. They're not open year around so you do have to plan a bit. You'll get great deals and amazing service. So if you're looking to replace your old snow gear or bring it in for repair. I would check this place out before going to a huge retailer. read more

PF Powder - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I've lived in the area all my life and had no idea they were here!! I've been to REI and they were super helpful but don't have my size and what I needed and they were super expensive. I also went to OC green room in CM and no one there helped me or even said hi so I ended up just buying my gear online. Now I needed a place to calibrate my skis and get them ready and I needed to look for a new place. I checked Yelp this time and found PF. I came in to have my new skis calibrated. Cami was super helpful and quickly got me taken care of and I was in and out. I saw they had some things I will come and shop for to support a mom and pop shop vs the other online giants. I sent my bf in so he can get his board wax etc. Highly recommend this place! read more

$35 to rent boots, bindings and board!!! This is ridiculous people, how are you all not driving here for your rentals? $199 snowboard jackets for $99? I picked up an $89 Oakley snowboard goggles today and a $65 Smith helmet. This place is such an OC gem. read more

Visited last March. Came here for full snowboard rental package ($35). Good selection of gear. The $500 deposit is only temporary. Friendly, straightforward, professional service. Store is crowded with merchandise but few customers. Plenty of parking available. I think they didn't have double boa snowboard boots. read more

Shout out Max and the team for being so helpful with any and every question I've had for them!!

Picked up skis for the upcoming season! huge thanks to Michelle for helping me pick out my skis, binding, goggles, and boots, great selection of gear and wonderful customer service. read more

PF Powder - skis - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Such a great shop. Everyone was so friendly and helpful in adjusting my equipment. I'll be back for sure.

10/19/2024: Update (5 Star, Amazing): I was pleasantly surprised when Cami, the owner, reached out to me and quickly addressed all the issues I had encountered. She was incredibly thoughtful and kind, and I truly appreciate the time and effort she put into resolving everything. Her approach and care for her customers really stood out to me. I'm happy to say that I will definitely continue to visit the shop and recommend it to my friends for their next equipment needs. Cami's dedication to her customers is the reason I've been a loyal customer for almost a decade, and I'm grateful for how she handled things. 10/15/2024: I've been a loyal customer of PFPowder for 9 years, starting my snowboarding journey in 2015 when I bought my first snowboard at their Santa Ana location. Every year before the season, I've upgraded my gear through them. However, things changed recently. In October 2023, I bought a pair of K2 snowboarding boots at PFPowder Santa Ana location. The staff measured my feet and told me I was a size 7, even though I had been riding in size 9 boots for 8 years. They recommended the smaller size for better performance. While I could fit into the size 7 boots, they were extremely tight, but I trusted their advice. After 10 days of riding, the boots became unbearable after a few hours on the snow. Eventually, I went to another store in OC and bought size 9 Nitro Team boots, which fit perfectly. This didn't change my overall positive view of PFPowder--I just figured the issue was with that particular boot. I even sold the K2s at half price once I got the new pair. A month later, before Thanksgiving, I bought a Sidas high-arch insole from PFPowder Ontario after they measured my foot and suggested the product. After a few days of riding, I started experiencing discomfort. While visiting Mammoth, I went to another shop where they re-measured my arch and told me I actually have a low arch, not high. I was surprised since PFPowder had recommended a high-arch insole. When I returned to PFPowder to explain the situation, the only response I got was, "Oh, I'm sorry." As a loyal customer for almost a decade, I expected a bit more than just an apology. While I still have a lot of love for PFPowder and the memories I've made there, I'm no longer sure I trust their recommendations. I might shop there again, but I'll definitely be more cautious in the future. I also take responsibility for fully trusting their measurements and should have been more cautious after years of snowboarding. For reference, you can find my 5-star review from six years ago, where I had an amazing experience with them. read more

This is the best local spot for all your ski and snowboard needs! They have a great selection of gear, snow clothes, and accessories - all for great prices. Everyone here is always so knowledgeable and friendly! My family has been coming here for years and each experience has been great. Highly recommend! read more

Great place to rent equipment, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Prices are fair and equipment is good.

I used to do a lot of skiing and I have not done a ton of ski gear shopping lately. When my son asked for some snowboard gear for this season, I really had no idea where to go other than online shopping. When it comes to boarding or skiing, fit is incredibly important, rentals are a pain in the behind to deal with, time consuming and expensive. Some friends of ours are an avid skiing and boarding family and swear by this place. I'd never heard of this place before but I'm super happy to have found it. It's on Edinger near the 55 but I was lost trying to find the storefront as it's not in a typical retail strip mall. It looked sketchy as hell from the outside but, as I walked in, I knew i was in a great spot. Super friendly gal at the counter told me they have been in the same spot for 50 years. Obviously, the emphasis has shifted from skiing to boarding to keep up with the changing times. For folks my age, gone are the slim bright powder suits, tight ski pants and short jackets. In are the loose, grunge-like baggy, plaid, dark separates. Rack after rack of jackets, pants, long underwear, gloves, goggles, hats, socks, boards, bindings, boots and, yes, even some skis and ski boots. The staff is beyond helpful. Jacob took great care of my son with his board needs and James is some kind of Boot God, knowing the biology of the foot in relation to boarding angles, turns, padding, support, posture, as well as body weight, experience and budget. He took so much time with us and found some relatively inexpensive options that fit like a glove on a surgeon's hand. We walked out with a pair of boots, bindings and a used board. Highly recommend. read more

The staff here were super accommodating and have gone above and beyond with every help they can serve. It's a well organized shop for such a small spacing too. I've had my board waxed here and it only took a few days even with the high volume they had to work with. Special shout out to Jack, super cool guy, honestly one of the greatest interactions I've ever had with a staff member. Recommend going here for all your snowboarding and skiing needs! read more

PF Powder - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Santa Ana, California

We've been renting snowboards for our kids here the last 2 years and it's always been a great experience. This year I was looking for new boots and bindings and purchased them here as well. They have a decent selection and the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable when helping me find the right fit. Thanks PF Powder! read more

I hd no clue about how to keep warm in cold weather. That is, UNTIL I went to PF Powder in preparation to visit legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Cami and Andrea answered all of my annoying questions, explained my options, and recommended items to stay warm at the "Frozen Tundra." They absolutely know what they are talking about, and the price and quality of the five items I purchased was superior. Temps were between 35 and 42, with a bit of wind and sprinkles. I got to meet Packers alumni and Super Bowl champ Dorsey Levens, the Pack beat the Niners, and just as imporant: I. Stayed. Warm. Thank you, Cami and Andrea for taking weather out of the equation today, and for helping to make my Packers game experience awesome! read more

I loved the selection of snow pants for adults and kids. I also rented a snowboard, and it worked really well for my trip. They don't charge for the day you pick it up, and the day you drop off. Friendly staff that are very helpful and knowledgeable. They also had a selection of beanies and socks. read more

The folks at the store are very knowledgeable and helpful. There's something about the vibe that's very positive. I liked the selections they had to offer but I know it always depends on personal preference but I would definitely come back read more

Great prices and great help. Nice selection! Highly recommend to come here for great service. The girls here are amazing.!

Friendly service, great rates and has parts that no other board shop in SoCal had. Highly recommended, big bear and mountain shops didn't have parts I needed nor the ones in LA. Highly recommended!! read more

A local gem in OC when it comes to anything ski and snowboarding. We always rent from PF before heading up to the mountain. Do yourself a favor and skip the lines up on the mountain. Pay a local shop in OC (and less) for great equipment. Really nice people. Thank you PF for always taking care of my girls before we go up to board. read more

PF Powder - Board/Ski service January '24 - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Ever since I decided to start investing in snowboarding. PF powder has always been one of my go to's. Everyone there is super friendly and easy to talk to. I talked to like 3 different guys there in one day just about bindings and how each brand and model function. It made my decision pretty easy, especially since they have a ton to select. The price is always the best around, they are your discount:non discount store. They sell right under retail but they deserve the business. I bought my board from somewhere else and they still mounted my bindings I bought from them onto my board. I won't go anywhere else, their waxes and tunes are exceptionally priced and performed compared to places like REI read more

PF Powder - Mounting my new union bindings onto my board - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Thankful that we have P.F. McMullin to bring a little bit of winter to Southern California! While the city of Santa Ana doesn't get any snow, they might have one of the best ski shops around. P.F. McMullin specializes in everything snow-gear: gloves, beanies, jackets, pants, snowboards and skis. Since I'm a true Californian who only owns light jackets, I stopped by to stock up on snow goodies. They offer an array of gear split into sections by kids, women, and men. This place is affordable compared to what you'll see online or at your local REI. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable and can educate you on the gear you'll need to stay toasty and get you properly set up with a new snowboard or skis. I snagged a pair of snow socks and I'll most definitely have the warmest feet in town thanks to P.F. McMullins! read more

Since James was busy with other customers, I had the pleasure of working with Max who is also very knowledgeable in snowboard bindings. Max helped me find exactly what I wanted which was bindings that could fit both a size 6 women's boot AND a size 8 women's boot. Thank you again!!! read more

Awesome shop. Great experience picking out skis. Quick installation. Friendly service. Will be back next season!

It's been about 25 to 30 years since I've gone to the store. Have no idea why I haven't returned. I needed some new snowboard boots and looked on Yelp for stores and this was the highest rated place around... for a GOOD REASON! I walked in and they pointed me over to James "the snowboard boot guy". They said that he knows his stuff and boy were they right! I would highly suggest going in and talking to James when you have time to try on boots and spend a few minutes walking around in them. It was definitely beneficial to go on a Friday afternoon when there weren't a lot of people in the store. Although I was there for 45 minutes or so, it was well worth the time spent to get a pair of boots, that almost feel custom fit, that I will likely wear for many years. DO NOT try to choose your own boots blindly! Make sure that you talk to someone that knows how to get a proper fit and James is that guy! Thank you James! Really appreciate all of your help! read more

Great place , good prices . Everything you need .good services . I will definitely return again !

Seriously, best low key board shop around OC! They were able to fix my binding for free with another binding from another board, I just needed something just to hold me over for my upcoming trip this coming weekend instead of forking over the $200+ for the whole shabang. You guys are amazing! I came to this location prior maybe 3-4 years ago to get my board rewaxed, and it was such great service, love you guys! read more

Honest and reasonable prices! Can't recommend this store enough, everyone we have encountered is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Whether you are an expert or brand new to snow sports, this is the best place to come. They have great deals on rentals and used gear! read more

I have been snowboarding since 1992. My kids are now 21 and 19. PF McMullin has been the source of several iterations of my kids overall gear from the time they learned (6 years old) til now. I just called the store and it's always the same pleasantries...I asked about their selection of 8.5-9 men's boots for my son and it was immediately "Hold on for a minute, let me check". She came back with a list of all brands in his size. These days, retail customer service rarely goes to that level. If I called a competitor they would say something along the lines of "Duuuude....we got all kinds! Come on in!" Anyway, I love this shop and the fact it is a family business and not some huge corporate gig. Now lets shred some Pow... read more

I rarely write reviews unless I feel the need to. I've been coming here since I was a little girl and have always had the best services and the best selection. I've been boarding for awhile and wanted to get a more advance board. Hayden was extremely welcoming and educated me on so much. He did everything he could to find me the perfect match for me. I really appreciate all he did and shows how good of a worker he is and an amazing work place environment! So excited for next riding season!!! Thank you read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Went into this pace for the first time yesterday. Was looking for a snowboard , boots, and bindings with and for my son. My son was buying with his own money so his budget was limited. James was SUPER helpful and went over how to pick out a board and boots. He must have talked to us for at least 45 minutes with absolutely no pressure to buy. This guy is an absolute fountain of knowledge and is super genuine. Never been to a shop that actually guides you and helps you pick out what is best for YOU! Most places don't give you very much info. We left with a new board boots and bindings .All within my sons budget. If you want a SUPER knowledgeable place to rent or buy, you better shop here! AGAIN...THANK YOU JAMES ! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!! read more
