Large store. Wonderful selection. Ample parking and great staff…read more Went in to find knee pads and a new hockey helmet for my little guy. As soon as I arrived I was greeted and pointed to the right direction to find hockey items. Found what I needed. A great guy fit my little guy for a new helmet since he has out grew the one he got a few months ago. Oy! He was really good with him and made sure to try on a few and ask the right questions to find him a suitable helmet. After getting a helmet and some knew pads, we looked around the store to see what other items they had. Ended up buying a t-shirt as well since my little guy has a new obsession with Sidney Crosby? Boys! Paid for our items at the front counter and the girl was very friendly and nice. All in all, great experience and will be back for any other sporting needs.

This is probably the best Sport Chek in Calgary NW because of the size and availability of product…read more They are also attached to another sister company for camping gear so it's really convenient. Usually, i have to visit a number of different Sport Cheks if i'm looking for a specific product because of stock issues, but i find this location to usually have a great selection and more stock available than most locations. It's clean, organized, and easy to get around with usually pretty good staff. I'll run into some long line-ups onces in awhile which can be a bit annoying, but for the most part, they resolve the line-ups in pretty quick fashion.

We believe in the local economy and supporting independent business in the community for many reasons, including the quality of service and knowledge that comes with experience and a local mindset. The crew at Abominable were not only knowledgeable, they were absolutely fantastic in working with us to understand our needs, and work to deliver for us. McKayla and Chelsea at the front end got us sorted at the front end with clothes, helmets, and goggles, while Randy worked patiently with us on the skis and boots. All parties answered our questions and provided us with the understanding to assure we were getting what we needed. Once the items were selected, it was turned around super quick to get us back to the ski hill. We both ended up with new Elans and they rock!! Thank you Abominable for taking such great care of us. Would recommend you to anyone along with a solid 5 experience. Thanks!!! Jeff and Mike.

I've outfitted my kids in snowboard/ski gear. I've found their return policy very good.

I bought a pair of boots last weekend. Dylan was my bootfitter/sales consultant. He was…read moreawesome....very patient and helpful with the fitting. Used them the next day and really felt the difference in my skiing. Dylan advised me that if I found them at all painful, to ski on them for 4-5 times and them bring them back to the store for adjustment. Honestly, they were a bit pinchy in the morning, but after a full day, they already feel better. The liners just need to pack down a bit more, I think. Love this store and would send anyone looking for ski gear to go. If you want ski boots, ask for Dylan!

I had been gifted Mountain Hardware womens' trousers - and broke my fingernail after many attempts to open the very stubborn clasp.

Very happy with the customer service. Thanks Vlad.

BAIT AND SWITCH WARNING…read more Went back here three times looking at some expensive poles they had priced on the rack for a great deal. I even discussed with a salesperson what an amazing deal it was who concurred with me. At the till that price would quadruple.

They have a good selection of used and new equipment ranging from combat boots to tactical flashlights. While you're there don't be afraid or intimidated to ask for help as everyone I've encountered there is friendly and helpful (despite their strong-man appearances). On nice days they have their yard open to the public; check that out if you want to look at some vintage gear and shelters. Don't forget to look at the back (really the side) store room for more goodies like packs, sleeping bags, MRE and even military bikes (very neat!). They've recently organized the store to make it flow much better so I'm quite happy about that. In the past you'd be knocking over clothing piles or running into boots on the ground, no more of that. It's not only a place to go if you need something. If you're ever in Inglewood and want to pass the time this would be a great place for that. If I were still single I would totally bring someone here on a first date, just imagine the conversation pieces!

Honestly, it was his friendly nature that made me return to find some more pieces for the cooler weather. I love supporting Local & great staff make it easy to do so. ‼

I've fished with the Wayne, his son Trevor, and grandson on several occasions and have used their "Trout Hotel" on the Bow River for several events for my workplace and clients.

I work downtown so can stop by over lunch to pick up what I might need for the weekend, and spend some time bending the ear of Wayne and Trevor and any unwary customer. I highly recommend this shop.
