Our rental expert Matt was so insightful and really helpful! Very thorough in showing us how to set everything up, I can’t recommend coming in to get backcountry rentals enough!

Great store, genuine staff. Justin was extremely helpful with a niche touring boot issue I had. Sorted after much tinkering and effort on his part.

Went in to try some backcountry ski boots, and Rafael (I hope that's correct) was so helpful and knowledgable. It really makes a difference to be fitted by someone who really knows what they're doing. Thank you!!!
