They went through the bike prior to me taking delivery, adjusted the seat and installed my clipless pedals.

He continues with exasperation saying he could take my number and call me back tomorrow. If he says that nicely right away, perfect. Instead his attitude of making me feel like a nuisance instead of a customer has pushed me out of that door with my golf clubs never to return.

The place is kind of non-descript on the outside, but when you walk in, it's a super store for everything Ski and Snowboard and it was busy. I needed a repair, same day, as I leaving for the mountain on Tuesday. Even on a super busy day, he was determined to get it done and done right, and he did. I can't say enough good things. I would buy anything and everything from Viking as their Service is amazing.

Craig the has always remembered me even when I'm not in for years, he has an extremely wide range of knowledge of snowboards and snowboarding itself. Craig is the only guy I'll buy boards from at this point. The value I get for my dollar here is so high, my gear is never over priced and I always know I'm walking out with the right thing. Thank you Craig and everyone else at Viking!

We stopped by to look for shoes and apparel, and the selection that they had were impressive! I loved that they featured all the brands, and their shoe section was well-stocked.

While the local staff at this location are generally helpful, I am writing this to warn other…read moreChicago residents about the significant risks of ordering from Backcountry.com online. Backcountry uses DoorDash for "last-mile" delivery in the city, but their security standards are nonexistent. In my case, the driver dropped my package in an unsecure, open area and failed to ring the doorbell or knock. Despite the fact that I worked from home on the day specifically to ensure I was present for deliveries, the package was stolen by a porch pirate before I even saw the notification. When I contacted customer service, they were completely dismissive. They refused to offer a reorder or investigate the delivery failure, essentially stating that their responsibility ends the moment the package touches the ground--regardless of where or how it was left. If you live in an urban area where package theft is a concern, do not trust this company with your money online. Their "completed delivery" policy offers zero protection against negligent couriers. Unless you can buy it in-store and walk out with it, I recommend taking your business to a retailer with more accountable shipping practices.

During COVID you had to make a reservation for boots but we got lucky and they had a cancellation. The boot fitting was excellent and for an hour they tried various boots having my wife stand, etc. to make sure the fit was perfect. We also found a pair of skis on sale that were perfect for her. As a result, I skied nine times this year and my wife has become a fan of skiing. Next time we need boots we will be here again.
