While we were there, I found the YOLO SUP board I want. So gorgeous. Perhaps I'll get it for my birthday. I already eyed a mountain board my hubs was drooling over (he wants the kite for it too), for his birthday. Oh the toys! Everything you can think of to get you started or add to your current setup. Skateboards, SUP boards, kayaks, snow, sand and more. So fun to just go in and check it out. The place is easy to find on Michigan Ave, west of US127.

I did online research and called around to other equipment shops but no one was as helpful as Chris at Nicols. First, she answered my questions in depth over the phone, even calling the other location to see if they had was I was after. When I went to visit her in the shop, I felt like she was the first person I could talk to who really understood my skill level, and the equipment that would be best suited for me to improve. She took the time to listen to my experiences. When I told her about some of the runs I was trying to do at Boyne, she knew exactly what I was talking about. She was really supportive in answering questions about skis I found elsewhere. I really felt like she cared. I didn't get my skis here (went with an older model), but I bought my boots (Chris helped me pick them out) and had them install the bindings. The prices in the store seemed really fair. I expected them to be high for a specialty, in-store shop but that didn't seem to be the case. My husband made a special request and asked them if they would do the bindings same day. They said they would try (no promises) and ended up getting it done! They also carry accessories and apparel, like snowpants. I am so pleased to have found Nicols! I now have a go-to place in my neighborhood for equipment, gear, accessories, and apparel!

Buckeye Sports Center - Shame on you!!!…read more Saturday of last week I went to Buckeye Sports Center to pickup my skis that were being tuned and to pickup another set of older skis that I attempted to sell at their annual ski swap. My older skis did not sell and I needed to pick them up. I was late picking up my skis as a result of my Father's illness, death and funeral. Buckeye Sports Center informed me that because I was late picking up my skis from the ski swap that I was not entitled to the return of my skis or the 200 dollars that I was attempting to sell them for (for which I was to receive store credit). Please note that Buckeye Sports still had plenty of other skis in back remaining to be picked up, they just for a very odd reason did not have my skis. I gave my return ticket to the store clerk and he stated that their records indicated that someone had already picked up my skis. My response was, "well clearly you gave my skis to the wrong person." The clerk responded, "how do we know that" - implying that I was lying to him. Please note that I have been a customer of Buckeye Sports for several decades and as recently had 4 pairs of skis tuned by them. I asked the clerk to review the situation with the owner of Buckeye Sports who was in back and he did. The owner did not have the respect, nor the character, to speak directly with me and instructed the clerk to tell me that there was nothing ownership was willing to do. Thereby callously disregarding why I was late picking up the skis and completely ignoring the fact that the reason why the skis were not there was because his employees made a mistake and gave my skis to another customer who had similar skis. Mistakes happen, but there is no excuse for Buckeye Sports' poor treatment of me as their customer and unwillingness to correct the mistake that was made by their staff member. Needless to say, I will never shop at Buckeye Sports. Their actions yesterday demonstrate bad business practices and even worse business ethics.

They did an excellent job educating me about my new boat as this is my first boat after purchasing a Hobie Pro Angler from them years ago. They put a lot of time, attention, and detail into prepping my boat so it would be water ready. They worked with me to get all the features on the boat that met my needs. VIP Treatment with the boat pickup as they were flexible with scheduling, had a congratulations sign, everyone walking on the boat took their shoes off, they consistently offered drinks/restroom, their service guys came out to answer technical questions, and they highlighted critically important parts of the manual so I may quickly revisit for review as a lot of information was covered during pick up. They don't just want to sell you, but they want to make sure you are set up for success, you are safe, and you have an all around great experience on the water and with Buckeye. Customer oriented all around. Would recommend anyone give Buckeye the first stop before looking elsewhere.

The service was awesome! I love passionate employees they are THE BEST. Also, the inventory was a bit slim when I visited in January, which the employees mentioned was a time when they are moving and have moved/sold most of their product for the season. For the most part the value was great. They even worked out a deal for me when I put together a big order, so the value was also good on snowboard gear. Thanks for the assistance.

The Ski Company usually has a few pairs of higher end demo skis (very gently used factory demonstrators) available and that's what we opted to buy instead for a price well below list. I have also bought quite a few pairs of skis for myself based on thier recommendations, and couldn't be happier. Prices are always fair. This is the only ski shop I will buy from in MI.
