While the river was a little low, Sean was great at pointing out how to navigate. He also kept up with all of us, from the fastest to the slowest (me). Sean was a real hit with the 12 and 14 y/o grandchildren, finding the best swimming spots. He also took lots of photos and sent them to us after the tour. And I have to also mention Asa, our driver. He and Sean were a great team. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a family outing.

She clearly didn't think we rated to be in her store and seemed to make it her mission to try to point out what idiots we where to ask if she had a particular item.... she was contrarian to the point of contradicting herself when we agreed with her about the weather.

Every other time I've bought a bike, the conversation has basically been "what kind of riding do you want to do? Okay, here's what we have that fits that kind of riding. This one's in your size." At FitWerx, the conversation started before I ever got there with a telephone consult, then a multi-hour one-on-one session complete with detailed body measurements and flexibility assessments, an interview about fitness history and athletic goals, testing out and dialing positions on a fully adjustable bike-fitting machine, and then discussing bikes that would be available for custom order directly from the manufacturer, what their specs are, what their short term availability would be, what sorts of modifications and part swaps would be advisable to make it fit ideally, etc. Then Fitwerx ordered me a bike and had the manufacturer agree to swap out certain default parts, and they specced it up to my exact fit. They also adjusted my current bike to make the riding position exactly right. It obviously took longer than just walking in to a store with a slate of inventory and then walking out with a bike, but if you want the custom treatment and *exactly* the right bike selected and tailored specifically to your body and your intended use, this is the place. Will definitely return here for my next bike purchase.

Arrived as it was leaving with another customer. I was very interested in a kayak Umiak advertised on their website. I called and spoke to Brian on Sunday to confirm it was there. He advised it was there. I explained that I was VERY interested and was concerned it would be sold before I could come see it. I was assured it was fine and not to be concerned. Monday we had a snow storm. I called and spoke to Brian. I explained I was really wanted that kayak and was worried it would be sold before I could get there. I provided Brian with my credit card info etc. and asked if he could consider it SOLD. He took all my info and said he wouldn't charge the card until I got there but that the Kayak was mine. I spoke to another person there Tuesday and explained that, as it was a 14' kayak, I'd like to come with a trailer but couldn't be there until Saturday. I was assured that my name was on that kayak, they had even just wiped it down for me and it would be ready for me Saturday. I explained again that I was concerned about it being sold before I could get there but was assured it was fine. Saturday I arrived just as the kayak I had "purchased" was leaving in the bed of another persons pickup. Brian apologized, said he had messed up, etc. none of which does me any good. A specific trip was made to Stowe. If I'd had any indication I should get there earlier I would have. I'm not sure if this is incompetence or a lack of ethics on their end but unfortunately I, as a consumer, have no recourse but to complain. Maybe someone in the future will be aware that this is not a business that lives up to it's word.
