Went in about a month ago to get my first board for a trip. The salesman (wish I could remember his name) who helped me was beyond helpful. He got all my info on experience (used to be good but hadn't been in 10+ years) and helped me pick out a board based on that. He also helped me pick out boots and bindings, once he found out my size he immediately pointed me towards some used Burton step ons in my size, which saved me hundreds of dollars. They also got my board all set up for me. I recently returned from my trip and everything was perfect! The board was an exact fit for my skill level and I was so glad to have step ins. I wish I could give more stars as my experience at the store was 5/5 and my experience with the equipment they sold me was 5/5. Added bonus, even without used boots my board was significantly less expensive than if I had bought it from the online retailer I was looking at.

I went in to buy my first set of skis. Al and Will were amazing. They answered all of my questions no matter how beginner, and they gave me great recommendations. Their expertise and ability to explain the whys behind everything was really appreciated. Lastly, Will went above and beyond to turn around my skis so they were ready for my trip. I’ll be going back here for all of my skiing maintenance and needs.

Thanks to the salesman with the Wrangler shirt and colored loafers who helped my teenager buy snowboard boots. I'd rather buy local any day and he made it easy. He sold him a pair on sale too. Appreciate it!

These guys blew me away! I have shopped with them for awhile, but when all the areas in Colorado closed due to the Coronavirus they went above and beyond all expectations! Also THE best tune ever! A must for any skier. Thanks to Rick and the crew.Update 2024! Just had my boots re-worked and they did an awesome job once again! Thanks to Will and the guys!

Boot fitmentI have a high instep. I have trouble with boots...to include getting them on. My frustration was off the charts after trying on more than few different brands days before. I rolled into this place on my way thru town because maybe....? I got hooked up with Al(?). I told him about my "loft" ability and how I was going to use them and he got to work. After more than a few measurements and comments on the 3x's size higher instep I have he disappeared/reappeared with 2 different boots. Both models slid right on. They were tight but comfortable. He suggested I go with the tighter model. After heating the inside, sliding them on and strapping them down I swear the clouds parted and the sun shine thru. THIS is what ski boots can feel like?! After a short discussion about custom sole inserts we made a pair of those too. I havent tried them on yet but Im sure heavens will part and angels will sing(no offense, you apply your own beliefs here).Thanks Al!SummaryIf you want boots....GO HERE

Leaving a review to provide feedback as I want local shops to continue to thrive. I've shopped here several times for ski stuff since moving to CO a couple of years ago and have had mostly great experiences. A big highlight for me was their boot fitting process. Staff in that area were fantastic. They were very patient and encouraged me to try on multiple boots to find the right fit. I ended up purchasing my boots here and eventually got custom inserts the second season. No regrets there. I also had the same level of help selecting a helmet and accessories on different visits.Seasonal rentals - my Wife and I both did this the first year and it worked out well. Would recommend to beginners looking to ski on something reliable all year and have access to the shop.The Demo rental experience however did not go as well. I initially made a demo reservation hoping to ski near a 100 waist ski to get some more experience with that width. I was mainly interested in a k2 mindbender 90~00 or Rustler 9/10 as those were my target purchase skis at the time. When I came in however, it took them forever to pull me up and then get a ski (New rental system they are adjusting to atm). While in the process of picking my boots up I was recommended the Nordica Enforcer 100. I believe this was due to lack of length size ski for me in the other two (maybe not?). Regardless, I chose to go with the recommendation. Upon getting to Crested Butte for a couple days of skiing I pretty much gave up on it after five or six runs. The stiffness kept bucking me off in the bumps and it became super frustrating. Feeling like I was stuck, my friend with me actually took me into Epic and put me on a Rustler 10 at the base and I ended up skiing that for a day before trying a k2 experience (nice being able to swap demos out). Also, a $100 deposit for some beat up Nordica 100s seems a bit silly, I already paid a damage waiver. And the yellow deposit slip? I get it's a mom and pop store but requiring people to hold onto the physical piece of paper rather than managing that electronically is ridiculous to get a $100 deposit back, C'mon now (Edit - apparently this was only due to conditions and some bad experiences they were getting - I had not seen this before and hopefully they don't have to do it again in the future). Admittedly I'm probably more irked about that given the exp with the demo (I locked that yellow slip up in my glove compartment). Finally, returning the demos went fairly smooth given how busy it was. The poor staffer in the back was by their lonesome and it was probably the busiest I had seen it on a random Tuesday. She asked me how they went and I was upfront with her and she seemed genuinely curious how she could help, but she was just to overwhelmed at the time.Edit on 1/12/24. One of the owners did reach out to me about my demo experience and went over some things they could have done better moving forward. I appreciated the open communication and they definitely made things right for me. I intend to give the demo experience another go with them this season.

I took a pair of Volkl performance demo skis out and they skied great but had some kind of factory defect that caused a huge part of the top sheet to rip off the tail. I was pretty worried about returning them needless to say, but the owner was great about it said he would handle it as a warranty with Volkl. Great customer focus, they earned a long term loyalty with that.

This is the second year I've had Austin wax and tune my snowboard. As a new rider, he explained why this helps with riding and compared to the people I took it to before, I feel way more confident. Definitely will keep coming back to work with him!

Had boots fitted here and they are amazing. Good selection and fitting felt very in depth.

5 stars simply is not a satisfactory form of scale. This Ma and Pa ski shop deserves 10 stars at a minimum. Never had my board tuned before and the crew in the shop made it look as good as new! The employees were also very informative when assisting me in picking out a new helmet and boots. Will definitely be back for my next set up. Thank you!

Felt compelled to write a review on this place. Have done business here a handful of times since moving to Colorado Springs last year (after a 17+ year hiatus from skiing). Purchased a pair of fitted ski boots today, sales associate Kevin helped me (who apparently has been working there since 1983, don't see that employee loyalty anywhere these days). Has been a fantastic experience every time. Family Run Business, I try to support local enterprises as much as able. Highly recommended!

Rick, the owner, took care of me while I was shopping for skis - I visited many places and The Ski Shop was by far the most knowledgeable and helpful. Skis are a big purchase, and Rick was patient while answering all my questions about all the different options. We would recommend them to anyone without hesitation and we will definitely be back ourselves!

My wife and I got fitted for new ski boots. Staff was incredibly knowledgeable, nice, and helpful. They were able to fit both a veteran skier and a novice with ease in no time! Cannot recommend any higher!

Picked up ski gear for the whole family, completely outfitted. Staff helped us get sized correctly and out the door on a first year skiing economical budget. Went back this year for new boots because I knew they would get us fitted and provide the same great customer service. I will continue to shop here as long as we continue to love and enjoy skiing.

Wonderful, family owned business with exceptionally knowledgeable team there to help you with all of your needs. Top notch customer service and competitive prices. I'm in the process of purchasing new boots with custom insoles and I'll have the boots molded when I pick them up..... I couldn't be happier!!!

The Ski Shop has very knowledgeable staff and competitive prices. I really appreciate their attention to detail and consistency when tuning my skis. They also have a great amount of demo rentals at good prices. I recommend to anyone looking for a ski shop or technician.

John Tinney

20:55 03 Nov 23

Bought new boots today. Very knowledgeable people helping me which is why I go there instead of the larger stores. They also have the ski store smell that only shops that specialize in ski gear will have, lol. You know you are in the right place when you smell the wax! They have tons of skis, boards, and boots to choose from. They are also great at tunning which I've used them for in the past. Highly recommend!

I went in this past weekend for their big sale and am exceptionally pleased with the service I received from Bill and Rick. Every member of the staff with whom I interacted were friendly, funny and eager to serve.Bill completed my boot fitting and I felt he was VERY knowledgeable. He took his time evaluating my feet, and my bunions, in order to get me in the right boot for my feet, height and weight. We shared a few good laughs throughout the process, and he was very patient and kind with me.Look, I’m not exactly rollin’ in the dough at the moment and I LOVE that they offer layaway! No one does that anymore and it’s greatly appreciated! Now I can get into the RIGHT gear so as to avoid injury and be able to actually improve my skiing. I’m so stoked to get my custom-fit boots in possession and hit the slopes! Thank you Bill and Rick. You both were awesome and I look forward to doing more shopping at The Ski Shop Inc.

Absolutely loved my experience. Have not skied in a long time and by no means an expert. I went in to inquire about purchasing some boots and skis. The customer service was brilliant. They took the time to fit me properly for the boots and the owner was a huge help in helping me pick a suitable pair of skis for my ability and price point. I would highly recommend this store for all your ski and snowboard needs. 5 star service amazing products and knowledgeable Staff.

I came in with a load of non-sense…skis, boots, snowboards, and boots for that too. Purchased it all on the interwebs at my own convenience, and they still took really good care of me. Kevin has worked their since I think the store opened in 1989, and I was super meticulous and incredibly patient with me in fitting, molding, and demonstrating proper wear of my new boots. He is an extremely helpful and knowledgeable individual that loves what he does.Then, when it came to snowboard land, he threw me over to Joey. Another helpful employee with a great attitude and willingness to help. He too answered all of my ignorant questions with a smile on his face and an understanding demeanor. All great folks up there! I highly recommend it.

Stopped in after going to a few other shops (local & national), but not finding that "Cinderella" boot fit. Rick really helped out with finding the right set of ski boots. He took multiple measurements and impressions, above and beyond what I experienced elsewhere. He instantly recognized the problem I was describing with my current points & knew just where to guide me. I finally felt confident with a bootfitter. Plus they have a layaway option and will help adjust the boots for up to 2 years after purchase. Definitely looking forward to working with The Ski Shop again.

I visited The Ski Shop for a new pair of ski boots. I have very narrow feet and Kevin did a great job finding boots that fit my feet well. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and very low pressure, which I appreciate. Can’t wait to try my new boots on the slopes!

Jacque Moore

If you’re looking for a ski shop that knows ALL ABOUT the products they sell and has an array of products for hard-to-fit sizes, look no further! I remember going to The Ski Shop with my parents as a little girl and yesterday when I was in town with my own kids—teenagers, one of which has sensory processing disorder— I could REALLY see why! We have trouble finding pants that fit AND are comfortable enough for my daughter to wear all day skiing without falling apart (the daughter, not the pants). Debbie (who I now believe is the most patient woman in the world) must have hauled out 20 options (maybe more?) for her to try on and she knew EVERYTHING about them—the fabric (did you know they exist with stretch now? Me neither!), the cut, the manufacturer, which ones ran small/large (they even carry petite sizes!), etc. until we finally found not just ONE but TWO pairs for my daughter to choose from. I’ve never been somewhere with so many pants options! I live two hours away, but I will certainly put The Ski Shop at the top of my list next time we are in the market for new ski gear.

The best place for renting or buying snow gear in town! The store is well stocked and the staff is SO friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and helpful! Being an avid snowboarder I shopped at dozens of ski shops all over Colorado and this store is my favorite! On top of their professionalism the owners Debbie and Rick are also the kindest people as they regularly give back by organizing winter coat drives, fundraisers and other charitable outlets.I'm usually too lazy to leave reviews very often but I just truly couldn't say enough praise for this amazing family owned local business.

Multiple staff members worked with my wife and I on skis, bindings and boots with custom fitting. They took the time to help us decide which brands, models and options made the most sense for our needs. The provided expert advice that showed they had first hand knowledge from using the various products personally. It included helping me, and black/double black skier, decide between the Atomic Bent Chetler 110, the Bent 100, the Salomon 98 QST and the Nordica Enforcer 104, taking into account my skiing style and previous gear experiences, and choosing the Technica Cochise boot for both resort and backcountry riding with the Marker Duke binding that reduces weight on the skin track with a detachable toe. They also helped my wife, and intermediate skier, choose a ski that will improve her confidence initiating turns with a softer shovel and overall higher flex, the Blizzard Black Pearl 88, with new Salomon boots and bindings. For all that, their prices matched online prices from sites like Evo, Ski Essentials, REI and Amazon, and then they took an additional $30 off each pair of skis. The boot fitting was one of the best I've had among many over the years.

We love coming here every year for season rentals and gear. Always top-notch service. Bonus is that you get a voucher for a discount after you turn in your rentals at the end of the season. Additionally, using the insurance was a breeze for replacement when one of my kids broke their ski.

Johnny Pham

Got fitted for new boots and it was a great quick experience, made sure to recommend it to a few friends of mine that were needing new equipment and they echoed the same opinion that this was the place to go in town for any and all ski stuff you need

We rented demo skis from The Ski Shop in March 2022. My wife has been dealing with a chronic hip injury and had not skied since 2014. The staff listened to her situation and hooked her up with a great pair of skis! She had a great time! It was a super-positive experience -- they are top-notch!!

This place is great! From renting my gear for the first time to buying my own gear just months later.Spring 2020, Scott was a fantastic help with getting my new ski boots and getting what I needed. Telling me everything I need to know on what to look for and feel in a boot.Spring 2021, Rick gave me the rundown on some skis and gave me recommendations based on my current level, and where I would be on later down the road. Stoked to break them in this weekend!10/10, highly recommend.

Above and beyond service. We bought new boots for difficult to fit feet. Past injury, titanium plate and bad circulation made it a challenge. Rick tried everything and made the impossible happen! Everyone was wonderful.
