Was asked to wear a mask to shop here when there is no mask mandate. When I first walk in, one the employees was not wearing one and then put it on as soon as I walked in. How ridiculous. Not one customer was in there either and they still wouldn’t let me shop. Will never shop here again I spend lots on money on snowboard equipment every year. Just will shop online then. Always like supporting small businesses. Sad to see.
Luise, Tad and Brooke are super cool and willing to help. I love to support the local skate community when Im in town. If youre looking for a dealerships for from skate gear, surf & OneWheels this would be the spot.
One star because they are enforcing mask wearing when there is no mask mandate. What’s the point of the vaccine if you have to wear a mask anyways? . My family has spent a lot of money at this establishment and I’m sad to say we will no longer be supporting them.
Pretty poor website and they never have my size of gear in stock.
Would never shop here again. After many interactions, this is my overall impression.Pros: Kind staff, knowledgeable on product features.Cons: Staff tends to assume youre the average buyer/doesnt actually listen to your needs/wants, chaotic and unorganized on product availability, limited demos, doesnt call people on a wait list for specific inventory, unorganized in calling people who have put down a deposit on expected inventory when the items arrive.
I had a snowboarding trip planned this morning. Allotted enough time to buy a new set of boots assuming they would be open on time. I sat out in front of the store for 15 minutes waiting for someone to show up before I finally gave in a said what I try not to do... I went to the big box store REI. I talk to another business nearby who seem to think them opening late is a pretty ordinary thing. Piece of advice, don’t run your business like a hobby
The staff is always very friendly and accommodating, every time we visit they go above and beyond to make sure we are well taken care of! #shoplocal
Great service, and fast delivery!...also just recently went into the shop in person, and was greeted right away, I had a question and they helped me with my board right then and there! Again great shop!!!
Nice little skate shop with a variety of gear and clothing. Picked up a couple of long boards and elbow/knee pads. Spent way less then I expected. The staff was low pressure and friendly. Will probably buy parts from them to upgrade the boards after we get used to them. Glad to see there is still a local option for this kind of thing.
Knowledgeable and helpful. I know almost nothing about skateboards. My son needed new wheels and bearings and I was tasked to get him some. He purchased his board a couple of years ago at Blue and Gold on a trip to Anchorage. I decided to go back to them as they are local and my son told me they treated him well.I got the help I needed to purchase the right equipment and they even pressed in the bearings at no charge. You have a customer for life, or at least as long as my son keeps skating.
Brooke is awesome, super personable🖤
Super knowledgeable and helpful. This was recommended over a lot of shops in Anchorage. I went to 2 other shops and I had the best experience here. They don’t make you feel stupid if you’re new. They answered all questions and I would definitely go back. They actually listen and make recommendations based on your individual experience.
Awesome shop with a great selection. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely get all my gear from here.
Been 6 years since I bought my snowboard there about to go in for an upgrade tomorrow. Stoked!!
Great selection, locally minded and some of the nicest staff and sales team weve ever encountered. Love working with everyone here, thumbs up! Highly recommend for any skate, snow, or clothing items. Swing in here, go shopping, visit some of the other stores nearby, and then grab a bite or coffee at one of the great eateries attached. Blue & Gold is the board shop our state has been missing for years!
Super awesome shop! Great selection and family owned. Owner was very helpful and obviously passionate about skating and snowboarding. Can’t say how excited I am to see a great skate/snow shop like this in Anchorage. Would absolutely recommend.
Great service and selection!
Wow, the staff are spot on and know what they were talking about. Good prices, great products, amazing selection. Thank you guys!
The staff at blue and gold had a ton of helpful info on snowboards and new gear. Check them out if your looking for new gear for the upcoming season
Kicked me out for not wearing a mask the total ripped my daughter off to the the tune of 300 dollars shame on you Alaska small business
Amazing service. Old board works like new. The manager knows everything about snowboards and turned my board around in like 30min. Great place
Dropped off my board to get a tune. Fast and friendly employees. I will definitely continue to be a customer here. Love the local feel and knowledgeable staff.
It isnt possible to overstate the level of customer service provided at blue and gold. The owner helped me try on, probably 10 pairs of boots so I would end up in the right pair. They are the epitome of a small business who takes care of their customers and I wouldnt take my money anywhere else after my experience here.
Great shop! I recommend getting your board waxed and re-edged here. Dont pop in when youre in a rush because theyre, well, chill to the max, but they rent split boards and do good work! Very kind and helpful folk.
So helpful, these guys Rock!
Great customer service. Staff was very knowledgeable and patient. You can tell they take pride in their work and want to get you in the best setup for you, not necessarily the most expensive or most name brand.
There helped pick out what I wanted and gave professional advice! The staff of wonderful and happy to help. I would go there to get anything else related to snow or skate boarding!
Ive always had great service. Fast turnaround on any work that needs to be done too. My board was tuned in about 3hrs.
Great shop for all your skate and snowboard needs. Greats brands and chill staff. Mil discounts available!
I love blue and gold because buy skateboard decks and wheels
Helpful and polite
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff every time I come into the shop!
We had a broken part on a snowboard that no one else in town couldnt replace, but the helpful staff at Blue and Gold gladly repaired it in minutes and now my grand daughter is on the hill. Thank you B and G, you rock!
Good
Nice selection of boards and clothes, very friendly staff and helpful.
Very kind and attentive
Great skate shop and really friendly employees
Super knowledgeable, freindly, run a great shop.
Dope shop..but Ive been here 3 times now where the employees d idnt show up until 30mins after the shop was supposed to be open...inconvenient for when Im trying to get some last minute gear and make it to the slope.
THEY HAVE TECHDECKS FOR 7 DOLLARS
Support you local business. It makes us a stronger community and country.
Bought my first board here, Tim helped me out. Everyone was super knowledgeable and helpful.
Always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!
Cool
