Was curious to learn more about a ski to purchase and guy downstairs running rentals w a bit of a limp said, "I'm way too busy to bother with this" went upstairs and pretty similar attitude from woman working register w dark hair / nose ring. Maybe because its a holiday and they were probably busy and likely under-staffed, it was just a bad day, but it's tough to justify going back when there are better options such as Pinnacle in town

They sized my foot and convinced me that my toe should be touching the top of the boot, so I trusted their expertise and went with the purchase after having custom made foot beds placed. Trying boots on in the store is different than on the hill, as we all know. I regret buying these boots after wearing them for the past 2 seasons. My toes, feet, and legs hate them. ive gone back to the store multiple times to tell them the boots are too small, they've tried making adjustments for me, which i appreciate, but it doesn't fix the problem. i dont recommend going here because they might size you too small/aggressively.
