    Matt was extremely helpful. He guided us on the correct ski sizes we needed and gave us lots of useful information about skiing. We really appreciated his help!

    I came in here looking for a pair of comfortable boots for the dawning winter and had a legitimately great shopping experience. The people working here were super friendly, the store is well organized and they have everything you need if you’re the outdoorsy type. I wish the REIs where I live were this good, but to be fair it’s probably an issue of demographics. The greater Cincinnati area has a lot of beautiful nature and people who regularly explore it, where as my area it’s mostly City folks who like to Cosplay as Outdoorsy and when they actually go hiking end up getting lost. Lol
