The best personalized professional friendly service! The custom insoles they carry are sooo worth it! Better quality than other ski shops. My feet are so comfy in my boots! So wonderful to deal with a family owned shop! They take pride in their store and customer service.

Love this shop. Rick and his family were so helpful. We bought two sets of skis and rented two sets for our kids for the season. An amazing and stress free experience.

We came in looking for snow pants for our first snowboarding trip. Debbie helped us understand the types of pants we would need and the ratings of the pants. She brought me several to try and carried several styles in womens plus sizes up to 22. She gave us general advice about skiing/snowboarding and helped us prepare to be comfortable. I am so glad we came to this local shop instead of the next chain store. Thank you for all the help Debbie!

Quick shout out to the manager, and staff at the Ski Shop. After a ski accident with a tree I needed a new ski helmet. Excellent service, selection, and price on the new helmet. I encourage all to SHOP LOCAL and support your local shop that has been operating in CS for decades. Cant get that online!

Ive had nothing but good experiences here. The staff is very knowledgeable and take their time to help you find the right gear for your needs. Kevin helped me find the perfect boots, bindings and snowboard and the new gear has been a complete game changer on the slopes. The rental gear for my daughter also worked well. Highly recommended!

Thanks for taking over $1,000 of my money to buy as well as rent equipment for myself and my family, having me pay full price for being late. (I’ll own up to this as my own fault balancing being a father and taking care of my kid instead of returning your equipment on time and I was okay with this fee)- My issue is with you/your staff allowing customers to bully their way to be served over others as if they are more important. So on top of treating me like third class, allowing three people to be served before me that came in after me- I especially appreciate that you allow two of these customers showing up after me not only to cut the line but also to parade in the rental area without a mask like they own the place. No, you cannot have a referral nor any future business from me. Thanks for allowing my and my family’s safety off the slopes to be of no concern to you.

Need ski/snowboard equipment? Shop here! These folks know their stuff!!! Wonderful customer service and friendly staff. The guys in the ski dept. are very knowledgeable and make sure you’re happy with your purchase. Two year boot adjustments can’t be beat. I won’t go anywhere else for ski equipment. They are the reason this shop is Best in the Springs.

Hands-down the worst base grind and structure I’ve ever seen in a “tune.” I asked for an aggressive base grind on my snowboard and what I received seems to have barely touched the surface. The structure is inconsistent or nonexistent on the majority of the base. It appears as if they ran it through the machine once and didn’t even look at it. I’ve been snowboarding for more than 30 years and I was an instructor for 15 years, and when I dropped off my board for the tune I made some specific requests that have been easily accommodated by the shops I’ve used in the mountains, but was told instead that they couldn’t do it because of the limitations of their equipment and the poor quality/construction of Never Summer snowboards like mine. Based on the many positive reviews of the store, it seems that they offer great service and other areas, but I would not recommend them for snowboard tuning.

Bought a 2020 model board, left it to be mounted, waxed, etc. Called to see if I could pick it up early and they had it ready so I came in to get it.The board was dirty, had some marks on it from whoever worked on it, and the rust on the edges, which accumulated from sitting in the shop, was still there even though we talked about removing it. I voiced my dissatisfaction and they agreed to fix it and I’d pick it up in a day or two.I called to check the next day and it was ready. I picked it up and they had completely cleaned and fixed every little detail I requested to be fixed. The board looks beautiful now and it was delivered with excellent customer service from salesmen to the shop workers. They took good care of me even though I complained. Says a lot

If you have never skied or been snowboarding before, make sure you come here to rent and ask questions. The team working on boots and rentals are super helpful and knowledgeable. I went with the wrong boots for so many years and came here to look and ended up buying a set of molded snowboarding boots which helped immensely. My wife always rents from here and prices are excellent.

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.

Wow. We just had a great experience buying boots for our two young ladies. Thanks Kevin & Scott for your patience and expertise. They offered a great selection of boots. We wanted to make sure we were getting good advice and expert fitting before investing in boots. The Ski Shop delivered! We are new to town and will certainly be back for all of our future ski/snowboard needs.

Review №36

Horrible experience with customer service from the owner, Rick. I bought boot heaters from this shop that malfunctioned and didnt fit properly, and asked for Rick when I arrived to solve the problem. He couldnt get on to the next customer quickly enough, brushed off my concerns about the fit of the boot with the heaters he installed, and refused to start with a new set of heaters even though I asked him twice to do so. He offered no apology or any remorse when I spoke to him about being treated so poorly. Being a Colorado Native with skis underfoot from the age of three, as well as a business owner dealing with consumers on a daily basis, I cannot support this business with such an abrasive person at the helm. I will never enter this store again.

Review №38

I went skiing for the first time on Tuesday. I didn’t know a thing about it. When I went in Monday to get rentals, I thought I’d just pick up some skis, poles, boots in my size, and I’d be good to go... obviously not.Luckily, I had Ashley there to help me! She seemed genuinely excited for me to go skiing. She was thorough in explaining to me the reason for differences in the stiffness of the ski boots vs the flexibility of snowboard boots (I’d never tried either before). She was patient, friendly, and very knowledgeable! The following morning at Monarch, my friend was impressed I didn’t need help putting stuff on. Turns out I’m pretty good at skiing, too. :o)I live in the NE Springs. I initially came to this shop because of their prices, but I’m not going to go anywhere else because of the phenomenal customer service provided to me!Ashley — You are AWESOME!

I grew up in a high-service specialty sports retail business, and must say the Ski Shop always provides a high value experience the way my folks would want things done. The crew here found me just the right pair of skis and custom fit boots to my wide, high instep feet. The custom boot fit service made a world of difference for me. I just love the powder jacket I purchased here for ten degree days. Everything we have purchased or rented here has been first class. Rick and his crew at the ski shop are simply the best.Oh, almost forgot— the Ski Shop’s season rentals and a Monarch, Cooper or Loveland pass is totally the way go with kids. So much fun to see a good weather forecast and just decide to head to the slopes knowing equipment is dialed in and you can get first tracks if you want to. When the kids get good, the performance rentals take it to the next level. We had such a great year in 2018-19. Thank you, Ski Shop!

I have purchased skis and equipment at The Ski Shop for the last several years and I have always been pleased with the results. Their staff is very knowledgeable and has never failed to point me in the right direction for any kind of purchase I have made. Ive bought multiple pairs of skis, and other equipment and it has always been the highest quality and the intuitive staff has always found the right stuff for me. The best investment I made at this lovely shop was my ski boots. Their fitting staff selected the perfect fit for my foot and made my skiing experience that much more enjoyable just by enhancing the way my foot felt in a boot! Ive recommended this shop to all of my friends and me and my family wont shop anywhere else! Theyre the best!!

The knowledgeable staff at The Ski Shop knock it out of that park every time I visit. There is NO reason to go anywhere else in town, as a matter of fact, I go out of my way just to go there. As a Colorado resident and someone who has been on the slopes for over 35 years it is refreshing to visit a place with such pros!My latest visit consisted of me searching for a new pair of snowboard boots. Scott was who helped me, he took the time to talk to me about my wants and likes and also took the time to measure my feet as well as analyze my arch and width of my feet as well. The first boot he put me in fit perfectly but that did not stop Scott from bringing over several other boots to make sure I was making the best choice. I did end up walking out with the first pair he fit me with knowing that was the best boot for me as all other options didnt quite measure up to the first one. Thanks Scott and The Ski Shop for your expertise and professionalism and for taking the time to make sure I had the best boot for me, cant wait to get on the slopes in these new boots!

It was a very nice place. The staff was very nice and polite.

Their was also a very knowledgeable guy who helped me with the type of tune I needed for my board. I would recommend this place to any of my friends from the experience I had.

This ski shop is amazing! Absolutely incredible. I have flat and wide feet so it is hard for me to fit into ski boots here comfortably. I went in and Scott was great at finding me boots and being very patient while I try on lots of different pairs. I found some I thought I liked and bought them. After bringing them home figured out I didnt like them anymore, and so Scott worked with me again for hours the next weekend to find the right pair of boots.The customer service here is amazing, and they really know their stuff when it comes to skiing and boarding. They will also work with you to fix and help mold the boot to get it to fit if you ski on it and find something wrong. This shop is amazing! I would recommend Scott and the team to anyone that needs new ski gear.

I have been buying from The Ski Shop for over three years. I dont buy anywhere else. Rarely do you find a shop that puts your needs above their need for profit. Both Scott and Rick will not put you in anything you dont need and are not ready for. The best customer service I have ever received from any business. You can actually be better on the mountain because of the service you receive in the shop. A perfect fit is priceless. Leave the big box stores with the inexperienced help behind and go to the best Ski Shop in Colorado Springs

The Ski Shop Inc. provided me with the single best customer service experience that Ive ever had.I went in there in January to get my old ski boots punched out and maybe look at some skis. I ended up leaving with new skis and custom fit boots and could not be happier. I have really weird feet and have never been able to wear ski boots for longer than half the day without being miserable in them. Now, I could sleep in my Atomic Hawx Ultra120s! I now have a new love for the sport. I was waited on and shown true care by the owner himself and I will be a lifelong customer of the Ski Shop. Thank you for everything and I would recommend this store to everyone! Support Small Business!

The Ski Shop is one of the few family, locally owned city specialty shops that has been taking care of families like mine for generations. The secret to their success is obvious the second you step in the store. 1) you will be greeted by one of their employees, and likely Chilly; their loveable shop dog. 2) They will thank you for visiting their store and assist getting you to the right department and hook you up with someone that specializes in what you are looking for in that department. 3) You will receive expert advice from guys and gals that love what they do and share the same passion for skiing and snowboarding as you. 4) You will leave with the feeling that you are part of The Ski Shop family and treated so every time you come back. Chilly too!

These guys are absolutely amazing, I cant recommend them highly enough. I brought them in a near dead Never Summer, she was covered in rust and random pieces of carpet (the general assumption is the board was flooded and left to die). I brought it in to see if the was anything they could do anything and hot damn, she looks like a brand new board. The staff is polite and professional and didnt feed me any bullshit about pricing or what would need to be done. Outstanding place to go for your ski and snowboard needs.

Have been going to the Ski Shop since I was a kid, and now I take my family here to get all of our Ski & Snowboard gear. The guys and gals at the ski shop really know what they are talking about and will never push you to buy anything that you dont need. There is no pushing to buy the newest/advance stuff on the market when they can find something that best suites you, your budget and your skill level. The service department is also top notch, always doing a find job on any tunes, waxes or repairs we have ever needed.

Review №95

Unhappy experience.Main gripe:We rented boards and skis to take a ski trip in three days. We were to pick up the equipment in two days (the day before our trip). The associate assisting us recommended we come in as late as possible to ensure the previous renters returned the equipment and the store had time to maintain them before we showed up. He said they close at 7 so we planned on showing up at 6. Contrary to what the associate claimed, they closed at 4. They gave us a call around 3:50 informing us they close in 10 minutes and that they would stay open up to 10 minutes late if necessary. Unfortunately, we were closer to 30 minutes away so we wouldnt have made it. We stuck with our original travel plans and rented boards and skis at the resort. When we returned after our trip, we spoke with a store associate explaining the mistake of telling us they close later than they did and asked for a refund since we werent able to use their equipment. The store owner refused a refund claiming they would have stayed open an extra 90 minutes after their posted close time, which contradicts what the store associate said. Instead he gave us 50% rental credit.Secondary gripes:We had little ski and snowboarding experience so the associate had us try on boots for sizing. He had us spend 30 minutes trying on boots before telling us they have no boards left for rental during our trip. He offered high performance boards with no discount. After choosing boards, he let us know theyre out of bindings. Ultimately, we postponed our trip a day, which was fine. I just wish he had told us at the beginning.

I have worked at several ski shops during my collage years, and I was thoroughly impressed with their operation. The tune I got was fantastic, as was the customer service. The owner brought out a rocking horse for daughter while my wife tried on boots. The place is warm a lively. The less experience kids working there were being mentored by more experienced ones. I really enjoyed this place. I wish they carried telemark equipment, but I understand that the demand is low (Garmont is even getting out of the business). This place is up there with Larsons Ski and Sport in Wheat Ridge!

Review №98

Having just moved to the Springs, we are constantly looking for family-owned businesses worth of our money. This is absolutely NOT one of those places. My family came in for ski rentals after having shopped for ski-wear here a few weeks before. Aside from the high prices, our experience in the retail section of the store was pleasant. The young women working there were polite and attentive, so we expected this same service when we went in for rentals. Instead, we were met by a short, dark-haired man wearing glasses who completely ignored us for the first 15 minutes while we stood just across the counter from him. Excited for our trip, we tried to make conversation with him about local ski resorts, but he rolled his eyes and reached over to hit a service bell that he made clear we should have used. Thankfully, a young woman came to help us, but we had to listen to this man (who I later found out is one of the owners) verbally harass his employee, speaking to her like a dog, and at times he would direct his attitude back towards us. He explained very simple paperwork to her over and over in front of us in a tone I would never let someone speak to me with. We got the impression that clearly this man needs to feel superior to someone in his life. Feeling embarrassed for the employee, I asked another employee to speak to a manager about the situation and she politely informed us he was an owner. I was shocked, but we just wanted to finish the rental process and leave at this point. One of my family members felt the need to explain to the young woman that nobody should be allowed to speak to her like that. She handled our comments and the situation very professionally, but I sincerely feel very, very sorry for anyone who has to work under this man. He took an experience that was supposed to be fun and exciting and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. Needless to say, we will be taking our business to one of the other countless ski shops in Colorado. There was no excuse for his behavior.

I love this local gem of a ski shop. Great prices on a variety of gear, and a staff that is very informative and helpful during the shopping experience. Their repair and tuning department is the best in town.

Kevin made buying my first pair of ski boots so easy! He was extremely knowledgeable and found the perfect boot for me.
