First of all the shop is laid out so well... you dont see a store dedicated to boarding like this any more. Everyone in there is so knowledgable, you can tell they are all people that not only work for a board shop but also use the product themselves. There genuinely interested about there customers, there boards, and what they are planning on doing. They fixed/tuned our boards in 1 day, they gave us some amazing tips for getting back on the mountains, and there prices where very reasonable. I hope to continue boarding and will go to them first for all my gear!

Whether someone agrees or disagrees with the message, it's not REI's job to tell customers how they should think or act. I came here for outdoor gear, not political messaging. Companies should focus on their strengths--serving customers and selling quality products--instead of jumping into virtue signaling and social posturing. This kind of messaging feels more alienating than inclusive, and it made me decide this will be my last visit. Sell gear, not ideology.

In just 10 minutes, I was all set and ready to hit the slopes. I really appreciated the great value of this service, which was also reasonably priced. I'm so grateful they were able to fit me in and help me get ready for the hill. Thank you so much!

We love Greenwood's Ski Haus. I've purchased most of my ski equipment here including boots, poles,…read morehelmets, gloves. And I have had excellent customer service experiences every time. I appreciate how their associates are knowledgable and passionate about skiing. It makes a world of difference when a sales rep knows what they are talking about and can ask the right questions to make sure you get the best products for your skill level. They take excellent care of their customers especially for their boot fittings. I have never felt rushed or brushed off during the fitting experience. I have also rented skis here for my kids several times and I appreciate that you can trade in equipment as your kid grows during the season. This is 100% worth it for me because my kids like to outgrow shoes as soon as I buy them. I recommend Greenwood's for any skier no matter what your skill level is. They will meet you where you're at and get you fitted with the best gear.

Lemme tell you! Ok so REI is obviously a great store. There are some things about them I can't…read morestand..:like when they get involved in political crap. That ruins the vibe for me for any business. It's still a great store, but people need to shut up with getting involved in anything that has absolutely nothing to do with sporting goods, outdoor activities etc or whatever their business is. REI is crazy expensive tho! Ooooh! So Al's just opened. I was sad to see the trampoline park close and leave. Sports Authority was at this location at one time too. Mittens was on the board, soooo...ahhh! Never mind lol. They closed. Sad. Anyway, finally a store goes in there. Obviously we are talking about AL's. This store is fantastic. I know it's going to be pricey eventually, but when we went in, the sales they were having were amazing. They had great prices on almost everything. With Christmas coming up, too, I'm sure their sales will once again be epic. They have all kinds of top brands. North Face, Patagonia, etc. Any place that carries Patagonia is ok in my book...even if Patagonia is another company that gets too political way too often. They make great jackets tho. I've had my R3 for like 17 years and still looks new. So walking into Al's and seeing they sell Pats, made me happy. Pats in general are very expensive. So if they happen to have these on sale, don't hesitant to pick one up. Same goes for a lot of the other name brands they have here. Great store for hunters, for anyone who loves kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, I mean, it's just a great store. I'm usually iffy on these chain stores, but I think this one is mainly specific to this area of the country, PNW, and obviously Utah and ugh, I'm sure California as well..at least Northern California? Who knows. Most people I know have already been. My hunter friends are in love with this place. They have gotten some insane deals here. However, if you haven't been, you definitely need to check it out...especially now that the Christmas season is like a day away from officially beginning. No, it doesn't start the day after Halloween lol. We got a few things here when we went. One thing was a flashlight. There was a guy in that section, wish I remembered his name. His main job is he's a fireman. I remember at least that much. This guy was such a great help. Knew the products well, super friendly, perfect teeth haha, and I mean, he was fun to look at. Sorry, had to throw that last bit in haha, because shiiiieeeet! Hahaha! Super nice guy. Everyone we came across that works there was great and eager to help. I hope this place succeeds. That spot it's in is a weird one. It seems to do good elsewhere and with Boise being a huge outdoor city, I can't see this place actually failing. I can only see it flourish and I hope it does. Check it out. Thanks for reading, YelperAl's!! Cheers!
