The Word on the Slopes

My partner and I got away for a weekend of skiing but we were both in boots and gear that was over 2 decades old. We decided to pop in and see if we could be fitted for boots and skis. The staff was SO helpful and knowledgeable. They took their time and helped us find boots and skis that were perfect for us. Not to mention, they set up our bindings right on the spot so we could literally walk out the door and go right to the slopes. After a few runs, we were BLOWN AWAY at how amazing our new setups were and how much control we had. Getting the right gear was long overdue. Thank you thank you!

I bought new plug (race) boots at MS&G for a very reasonable (actually more like unbeatable) price. Miguel did a fantastic job fitting them and they fit me like a glove (zero negative space yet comfortable)! There aren’t many boot fitters of this caliber in the US and I can’t recommend this place enough. Whether you’re a recreational skier or a racer, this is THE place to go for boots, skis, etc.

I am an avid skier and they did an amazing job sharpening my edges and waxing. Dare I say it was the best quality service I’ve had on my skis ever. They removed all the rust and repaired a small core shot. The best part of this was they did the service overnight and for less than 50$. Honestly amazing place for ski servicing!

Took my son in for a boot fitting with Hannah. My son has unique feet and has had great difficulty finding the right boots. Great experience from a true boot fitting professional. From a person that has owned a business himself, people like Hannah are a rare find and a true asset to the business. Could not have been happier to have worked with her to get my son’s boot drama solved. Thanks for a great experience.

Thank you for my new boots and the time you put in to make this an unforgettable experience. I recently purchased Tecnica Mach 1 95 LV and I can not express what a difference it made on the slopes!!!!! My current boots were too big and these fit me like a glove. Thank you to the Salesperson that took care of us. I wish I remembered his name. He fit me perfectly and help answer questions for my husband. My husband also took his advise on some new skis to try and we will be purchasing those also. Thank you again!!!! My boots were a game changer.

My wife and I love shopping local but sometimes prices online are way better than what we see in stores. Not so here. Not only were the prices comparable to the prices at online stores, the personal touch was irreplaceable. Matt went above and beyond to find us gear that was perfect for our size and ability. And he took a lot of time to make sure everything fit perfectly. We’ll definitely be back to buy our guy and for our kids.

-Jeremy B.

Best place in town for ski + snow boarding gear! The owner was very kind and helped me quickly with a pair of boots I purchased last season that were too tight on my legs. 100% recommend for anyone looking to purchase gear!

Made an appointment and met with Nick S. Nick is very knowledgeable, professional and can explain what you need or want in your next ski or board set up. He will taylor your needs to your next set up. His knowledge and fitting skills for ski boots make him a class above the rest. Thank you. Now go see Nick and tell them Jimmy P sent you 🙂 you won’t be disappointed!
