Quick and easy to rent snowshoes, even offered a discount since it was for Girls Scouts. Really friendly and gave pointers and a generous bag of birdseed. My daughter loved hanging out with the owner's dog during the short time I filled out paperwork.

I really like these guys!!! This is the second year that I have used Galena Sports as my go to for snow equipment. Need ski boots? They got you covered. Need a snow board. No problem! Need snowshoes. Easy peasy. Need chains for your sports car so you can hit the slopes on a perfect Blubird day? They got you!!! Heck, they'll even do a quick tune of your skis so you can fully enjoy your day. I have never been snowshoeing. When we showed up the guys engaged in a great conversation. They asked us where we were going. We let them know it was our first time and they gave us directions. They even gave us birdseed to feed the chickadees! The entire process took about 5 minutes. And you can't beat the price! We came in, I filled out a form, paid and we left. Super quick, super easy. I didn't have any questions as I had done my research on snowshoeing. I know if I had these guys would have told me everything I would need to know. This place has been here for a real long time. If you like to support the small locals then give these guys a shot!!!

I absolutely loved the experience and the closeness to Mount Rose. The pricing is great, and the service is excellent.

This is probably the best spot to go to in all of the Tahoe/Reno area if you're heading up to Mt. Rose or the other resorts. I taught myself snowboarding this past season, and the couple that runs this place have been the best guides i could've asked for when it comes to Gear, advice on the days I was going, and even random bushcraft tips lol. They were incredibly kind, professional, and will be my go to location for boards and board advice :).

Very personable. Conveniently located. Very informative. Reasonable prices. We have been rent our snow shoes here since day one. It's become a tradition to visit chickadee ridge every spring. This libel business makes it easy to have an adventure on any given day.Highly recommend. Thanks for the experiences and the fun!

Dropped off a board for repair and tune. Store was closed during business hours when I returned to pick up the board. Since I don’t live in the area I called and informed the owner I’d have to return next season to pick up the board, he had no objections and said he’d store it for me. When I came back the following season the bindings were missing. Owner offered to replace with a used pair of far less quality. Got home to find out bindings we’re the wrong size. The store only stocks budget equipment, I would recommend purchasing gear elsewhere. However, the board repair was top notch.

On a recent spring break trip to Reno I used them three times to rent skis and snow shoes. Convenient location, friendly, knowledgeable, quick, and affordable. Will definitely use them again.

Would not suggest this business, purely due to the owner. Arlo hit our car while pulling into the business and proceeded to curse and yell at us afterwards. He refused to give us any information until we had to call the police, where we found he was uninsured. He ruined our vacation.

Hands down the best place to go!! Best prices and best staff!! The staff was soooo helpful to us especially being newbies to the snowboarding life, when i walked in with that deer in the headlights look. We went to a couple places prior to this and were not treated well or with such efficiency. Without a doubt this will be our go to place for seasonal rentals and purchases!!

Incredibly nice staff, hot waxes included in the affordable season rental, free boot/ski swapping if there are fitment issues. Overall, great vibes and friendliness in contrast to other shops where they just want you to get in and out and get your credit card swiped as fast as possible.

The owner's name is Arlo and he's a great guy, very knowledgeable and helpful for beginners to experts.
