    We went to look at ski boots for my wife, Steven was incredibly helpful and had some great suggestions for comfort and an easy fix for minor big toe pain in one boot. Purchased Rossignol Alltrack Pro 80 W GW in beige/sage green.

    Doesn't stand behind their products. I tried to use a dry bag on a one week trip and the bag ripped, and they were unwilling to return as that was deemed “wear and tear”, not issues with the product. No reason to shop here if they won't honor returns for problematic gear

    I like REI but avoid the ski shop at this store. They don't take your directions even if you explicitly ask for a ski setting. They leave it to "the experts". And if you dare question Mr. Expert, he will come out of his hole angry and fuming if you notice the work was not performed as requested and you ask for an adjustment. The guy was so rude I was expecting him to break my skis or throw them at me for asking. Refused to fix until I signed a waiver, which is fine, but the whole moaning and pissed off attitude isn't professional. A total jerk.
