Purchased a new pair of socks-came home and found out they were used, unwashed and retuned onto the store floor! Disgusting 🤮 This store has unfortunately gone downhill very fast. I’ll won’t be shopping here anymore

The staff at the ski and snowboard repair area were so helpful and kind. They made my sister and I feel welcomed. Will be coming back for all gear here!

Customer service levels have really dropped recently. I recently asked a salesperson to check a price for me (they used to have a station to do this yourself, but it seems to be gone) and she got annoyed because I interrupted her call on the store headset. I didn't even know she was on a call or I wouldn't have interrupted her. When she indicated that she was busy, I walked away to find someone else. She called to me to come back and scanned the price, but when I tried to ask a question about the sale sign for the area where the items were located, she just interrupted me (three times) and snapped that I should use a coupon. Then she told me again that she was trying to hear the call. I just wanted to understand the sale sign. Note-the sale sign said 70% off and pointed at a back room. I was trying to figure out if the 70% would be taken at the register as it was not marked on the tag, or if the item was not 70% off.
She was clearly angry that I was bothering her.
I left the item and walked out. I work too hard for this.
The sad thing is, I used to love this store, but I think I am done. Will probably ditch the credit card too.
