Olympic Valley Ski and Bike is AWESOME. They are the very BEST. They sell great gear, and you can…read moreeasily rent gear as well. The location is extremely convenient and right in the Olympic Valley next to Palisades Tahoe ski mountain. The BEST part about the shop is the staff. You won't meet better people in your life. They are incredibly cool, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, professional, hardworking, and FUN. Special thanks to Will and Andrew who are AMAZINGLY cool guys. Thank you for the very enjoyable socializing and great stories. And thanks to the rest of the staff. I HIGHLY recommend Olympic Valley Ski and Bike!

So that was a nice new adjustment. Also they threw in a VIP tuneup that was good for one year and I took them up on it so this came with a complete waxing and general tuneup. I got the Travis Rice board for half price and it was as far as I was concerned good as new. Definitely a great value. And they have stores all over Truckee at Tahoe city. I wish they had one in Southlake Tahoe where I hail from but the drive is not that bad!

I had so much fun at the resort Snowboarding all day and got kinda tired so when I went back to return the boots, I had left my snowboard a friend of mine let me borrow for my trip at the rental store.

Start Haus is the only place to go to get the right boots!…read more When investing in the most important piece of equipment for skiing, you want to talk to people who know what they're talking about and put you in the right boots. So when friends who live in the area tell you to go to Start Haus, you go! I scheduled an appointment (a must) to get new ski boots as my old pair were set for retirement. The person helping me out (name forgotten, sorry!) measured up my feet and wanted to know what I've experienced with my current boots. After a long discussion, he brought out a couple pairs to test the fit. After trying on the two and giving my feedback, he brought out another pair to compare. I thought maybe he was trying to upsell me on more expensive boots, but that wasn't the case. After trying all, I felt the second pair was the most comfortable and that's when he went to work! After 15 minutes he came back and had me try them on again and they felt perfect. Once I purchased them I felt happy with the whole experience... but that's not the whole story. After a few weeks I finally got to try the boots out on mountain. They were a big improvement over my old boots, but I had a couple press points by my little toe, so I went back to the shop afterwards to share my experience... they got to work again and altered the shell a bit to give me more room and voila! If you need new boots or you need to refit your current boots, don't go anywhere else!

Thank you to Buck and the entire team who are amazing. This team really cares about their work and customer satisfaction. They are all very knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and hardworking. They don't pressure you, and they guarantee their which I truly respect!

I met Buck over 20 years ago when he owned Java Summit Sport on the road to Sugar Bowl…read more Back then, it was a ritual for my family. My brother Prescott, my family, and I would stop in for that coffee and hot chocolate machine and whatever gear we needed for the day. What really stayed with us, though, was not just the stop, but Buck and Herschel. They were always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on taking care of people. We come from a ski racing background back East, so we have always been particular about fit and performance. You feel it immediately when something is off, and you remember the people who get it right. It has been really rewarding to watch them build Olympic Bootworks over the years and develop things like the Heel-N-Loc footbed. It simply works. You feel more secure, more comfortable, and it has made a noticeable difference not only on the mountain but even in my son's soccer cleats. That level of consistency over this many years is rare. If you want your feet properly supported and your gear dialed in, Buck, Herschel, and the team are the people to see. For me, this place is more than a shop. It is one of those rare places that has been part of my family's journey for a long time, and that means something.

Everyone who works here is very chill, very kind and willing to answer all of my questions. I came to Tahoe recently and realized I didn't bring a pair of snowpants with me so I rented a pair here for $20. Otherwise, for those looking to rent a snowboard package or ski package, it's about $50 for one day. Make sure to use the 10% coupon they have on their site to save some money. If you have the time to do it, make sure to pick up your skis/snowboards the day before after 4PM. They let you pick up the day before so the mad rush in the morning of people renting equipment won't slow you down. It comes at no additional cost. You must return all equipment by 7PM.

Keep in mind the owner has to be selective in his collection and product hunting, so you're also paying for the convenience of having everything you possibly need in this store. The store does a great job at keeping clothing and items clean and separated. There are a few brand-new items, but mostly second-hand. The parking is a bit confusing because there are signs for it to be an exclusive parking lot. However, if you plan to be quick you can get away with it like I did.
