    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Highly Recommended! I visited Spotslife Hillcrest today to purchase ski equipment for my family, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. David and Charlie were incredibly professional, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to understand what we truly needed, and provided great advice throughout the process. Thanks to them, our entire shopping experience felt relaxed, enjoyable, and comfortable. I also want to give special appreciation to Craig, the store manager. During our visit, my younger daughter wandered off and was about to walk out of the store. Craig noticed it immediately, stopped her from going outside, and came over to alert us. His attentiveness genuinely prevented a potential accident, and we are extremely grateful for his quick reaction and care. Overall, we are very satisfied with everything at this store. The staff are professional, caring, and go above and beyond. A big thank you to everyone at Spotslife!

    I went to this location back to eight years ago for the first time, bought my first Arc'teryx Gamma MX shell jacket. And thanks to Ken, whenever I was wondering what brand or style to choose from, he can always tell me his valuable advice. Thanks to him and amazing team here. And I do appreciate Sporting Life for being sponsor for either 10K Run or the Biking event in Toronto. That is very meaningful to inspire our community.

    Ordered a down jacket for my baby with original price and then 5 days later, Black Friday Sale started. I requested price adjustment but got the answer "No". So funny that I have to order again and then return the previous one, which could be must easier for Sporting Life just to do the price adjustment. So sad I have to waste my time to do this and they have to waste their shipping cost. But for those ones who believe Sporting Life will do price adjustment during any holiday sale, hold your "place order" button and wait, because they are not going to do that!

    I had an excellent experience at Sporting Life thanks to Andrew in the ski department. He helped me with a custom ski boot fitting and was incredibly patient and knowledgeable throughout the process. He took the time to explain every adjustment, made sure the fit was perfect, and clearly knew his stuff. It’s rare to get this level of service and expertise—highly recommend asking for Andrew if you’re getting boots fitted.

    Yesterday, I went to buy the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4, but one of the staff told me they didn’t have size 9 in stock, so I waited for 30 minutes and left. Today, I checked the website and saw that the item was listed as in stock, so I called the store. A female employee answered, but she told me to check online and said she was too busy to help before hanging up. I explained that I had visited the store yesterday and was told my size wasn’t available, yet now it’s showing as in stock online — but she still said she couldn’t check because she was “busy” and ended the call. This store seems to discriminate against Asians. Do not go here. The call took place at 3:36 PM, and the woman didn’t sound particularly young.
