Came on a Monday when all the ski shops and bootfitters were closed in the area. Harley took us in…read moreand was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly, and he took extra time to explain to us what to look for in choosing boots, which was super helpful because it was our first pair of boots! He was transparent about all the prices and accommodated our desired budget. He explained the fitting process in full detail making sure the boots were a comfortable fit and would work amazing on the slopes. He also answered all of our questions patiently. When one of us was deciding between two ski options he gave us an accurate side by side comparison so we could make an informed decision. He also gave us marked down prices to reflect the summer season. He sold our friend to come here next season to buy skis. He knew we were leaving town the same day so he got the ski bindings done in 15 minutes! The policy with the skis also includes a two year fitting warranty. Thank you Harley for being fire!!

I went there for renting skis to go to NorthStar…read more It was open from early and closes at 7pm, so I could pick up and drop off before going to skiing. I was there on Sunday and it had few customers, no wait time. I was in and out with 10 minutes. Everything was very quick and clear. Return was the same, very quick agian. No wait time. The price was much cheaper than at the resort and service was better.

Taylor was in the shop. He immediately made us comfortable with his knowledge, listened to our questions and made thoughtful recommendations. We came to check out the board, we left with the full gears - board, boots, google, pants, and etc. Highly recommended. Look no more. This place is it.

Start Haus is the best. We've been going here since at least three location changes by them, and…read moreit seems to keep getting better. The number of StartHaus ski wraps we have in our ski locker tells me how much we love the place. They routinely take really good care of us getting bindings mounted or doing slight tune ups to our gear. You can tell they know what they are doing and take the time to do things right. We've never bought gear from them directly (as I often get last years gear on sale) but they don't seem to mind. My brother-in-law says their boot fitting service is top notch.

Solid store with the brand hailing from Venice, CA. They're selling snow and skate boards and gear…read more I didn't look too much into quality. I picked up some sunglasses from an Australian company on a Black Friday deal. My husband really wanted a shirt, but they didn't really have any inventory or really any interesting apparel, which was definitely a missed opportunity. Definitely some great designs in their boards, so if you're searching for a new ride, not a bad spot to pop in and check out.

I stopped in at BlueZone the other day as my ski boots had become exceedingly painful and was fully…read moreprepared to buy a new pair. As it turns out, thanks to Nate's help, the boot that was the most painful had an extra footbed in it. Nate had me try on the boots after removing the footbed and gave me a few tips when putting them on. He then helped with sizing me for custom insoles, which were likely to help even more (and were a fraction of the price as new boots!). Bonus: Nate was also very helpful when I struggled to get the cuffs of my slimmer jeans down past my calves. We definitely had a good laugh and workout in the process.

What a great find here in Truckee! We happened to stumble upon Alibi when another beer hall ended…read moreup being closed for the night and were happy we did. Alibi was a cool spot with awesome wall art inside their bar and in the adjacent dining area. You order at the bar and can choose either scene to enjoy your food and drinks. The dining hall was more lit and made a cozy spot to catch up with friends without too much loud noise. I ordered their seasonal Asian Wonton Salad ($15) with a sweet dressing and loads of cabbage, carrots, and onions, and it was a refreshing bite to pair with my draft beer. Drinks were fairly prices and had a great selection of local choices. If I'm ever back in warmer weather, would definitely enjoy checking out the outside patios.

First (and best) chauffeured ski rental experience I've ever had. I have skied in Italy many times,…read moreColorado and now California for the first time. Usually I get skis from the base of the mountain, but I read great reviews about this place and they were everything people said they were. They showed up right on time and we didn't feel rushed, brought two pairs of boots and skis and it really felt white glove throughout the whole process. We opted to pay extra for the performance skis but I believe they give everyone two options of equipment. Quality of gear was great. We needed to return our skis a day early and they were so accommodating. This service saves you SO much time. My husband and I truly felt like we were in great hands the entire time. I hope to use them again! Thanks so much Ski Butlers!!! Special shout out / thank you for Sean (Shawn?), Mackenzie, and the young woman who helped fit our skis at the house. Pro tip : book early to get the best delivery window times and let them know the days you are not skiing - they accommodate for that and have the best attitude.

I am not sure who idea this was, but they deserve a prize. What a joy to be privately fitted for my…read moreskis and boots without the hassle and chaos of getting fitted for rental equipment at a resort. The ski butlers came to my townhouse to fit me for my skis. They were on time and the fitting took about 10 minutes. The gentleman who fit me was very knowledgeable about the area and gave good advice regarding navigating the different resorts in Lake Tahoe. Once I was done with the skis I set them out on the back porch and they picked them up that evening. What could be easier? Ski Butlers is the only way to go for rental skis!
