I have visited this Lululemon three times now and on my most recent visit, I finally purchased a new pair of yoga pants.

Absolute nasty business, and I wish I could give them -100 star…read more Their name is sports experts but they are actually the expert for rip you off. We rented a few ski sets and when we return it, they claim the ski is cracked and charged me $350 for it. The "crack" is almost invisible, and more importantly, it could totally be a normal wear and tear. The "expert" Keiran admitted we are "unlucky" that the ski broke on our hands, totally despite the fact that the ski could reach its lifetime. If they rented out the ski out 20 times and it broke at the 20th customer, the unlucky 20th customer must replace the whole set? What a business! And despite they claim they are the "expert", they messed up my daughter's snowboard, and give her (10 year old) a snowboard for 5 year old, according to the snowboard instructor at sunshine village ski site, however they gave me refund at last. I bet that's the reason that they claim the ski is broken and charge me for that. The refund is like 20 somthing and the charge of the ski is $350, and tax on top. Generally, nasty place, if you don't mind to be ripped off, please continue to shop there.

DO NOT RENT FROM HERE!!!!!! My father and I rented two sets…read moreof skis and were told by a sales associate "Make sure to get the insurance, because there are a lot of rocks out there." We bought the insurance, as recommended. Sure enough there were rocks and the cheap skis cracked. When we returned them we were informed that the actual ski was not insured and were forced to pay for both pairs. Why have any insurance if not to cover the skis?? Simple con. The manager came out yelling "You should have skied where you were supposed to." "My sales people told you about what the insurance 'covers'." (Which they didn't). We hadn't gone under a single rope or out of bounds part of the mountain. I do not appreciate being called a liar or swindled. They give you cheap skis hoping you break them so you are forced to pay for them. Greasy. Also, do not buy your goggles here either, I bought a pair and got to the car realizing they were heavily scratched, they would not take them back. Been skiing 29 years and this takes the cake.

Cute store in Banff with loads of Canada and Calgary and Banff-themed items inside like hats, cups,…read moresocks, sweatshirts, stickers, you name it. Not everything is touristy - some of it is really good quality and they have a pretty large store with a bunch of outdoor items if you are in need of some warm weather gear that you didn't bring and the weather has changed. It's expensive - but the quality seems nice. My husband found a nice hat inside that he loves from Banff to remember our trip.
