Every enjoyable ski experience starts with the right equipment, whether you’re droppin’ the Palisades, skiing Shasta, or simply looking for the best skis to help you get to the next level.

As the premier shop in the Bay Area, we are able to carry the gear we want without restrictions. We spend a great amount of time testing out gear. Our staff tests every ski we sell. We also send employees to the yearly magazine boot tests. If that is not enough we tend to test a lot of other gear in the field. Bindings, poles, goggles, you name it. We use what we sell and are constantly evaluating new gear. Most years we generate over 200 test cards from our staff before making final decisions. This allows us to cover every resort or touring skier with gear we truly understand and believe in.

There are few “bad” modern skis, but there can be bad matches between ski and skier. Do you want a ski that will accelerate your technical development? Or do you simply wish to make what you already do easier and more fun? Whatever your needs or wants, we help you find the perfect ski equipment package.

Ski boots are even more important than skis. Boots form 100% of the connection between skier and ski; they are the control link between skier, skis and snow. Your skiing enjoyment starts with happy feet. A proper ski boot fitting is essential for your skiing enjoyment. We specialize in custom ski boot fitting and orthotics to assure not only perfect fit, but also ultimate performance, tailored to your specific needs. Our Master boot fitters and expert staff have over a century and a half of combined experience and will help you find the perfect fit.

We are now selling cross county skis. Snow shoes too! We have been renting both items for a few years now. The snowshoes are basic winter gear. Nordic skiing is a whole new sport. We had never dabbled in Nordic skiing other than as individuals on our day off, but the demand (based on phone inquiries) seemed to be growing. Then the last place in the bay area that rented them closed, so we decided to bring some in.
