Got my first set of skis and boots in the 70's from Fertl Aster himself then onto snowboards and back to skis. Fertl's son Chris Aster has the knowledge and experience to make your ski/snow sport experience most enjoyable without the mistake of buying wrong equipment for your skill level. Great snow sport shop with cutting edge equipment and great prices. Their advice is always appreciated.

I came to the shop to see if my cross country skis needed service and to get some advice on how to care for them. Chris was super helpful despite being busy!! The cashier was also delightful! Great customer service!!

Chris did some amazing repair work on my cross country skis. This place is a hidden gem when it comes to ski service and product selection. Northeast Ohio is lucky to have such a great ski shop in our backyard.

Service is second to none. There is a limited selection. But that is more than made up for with honesty, knowledge, and friendlies. The first time I went in there I felt at ease, comfortable, and confident that my best interest was the top priority.

My family is fairly new to skiing and snowboarding so wanted to check out this shop even though it's a bit out of the way for me. I needed a few pairs of skis waxed and sharpened for the season and some bindings for my son's snowboard. Both times I went in, Chris treated me like I've been going there for years and took time to talk with me and explain things. I felt like I had a better understanding after leaving and you don't get that experience from many stores these days! Don't let the quaintness of the outside of the building fool you...it's quite expansive on the inside and has stock of every kind of gear you could possibly need. I will try to take my business here whenever possible!

I was so happy to find this little shop. I went in for my first boot fitting and cannot recommend their services enough! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and super nice. They are pretty small, so if your looking for something in particular you might want to call ahead to make sure they have it. Definitely will be using them as a go-to ski shop!

Not sure why anyone would go anywhere else for skis, snowboards and winter apparel. 10/5 stars, seriously. Ferdl Aster Ski Shop has been around for a very long time, and with good reason. Amazing selection, fantastic prices, over-the-top customer service. Ahem, the owner was a professional slalom skier.

Ferdl Aster ROCKS. Very helpful and knowledgeable. 10 times better than that "other ski shop in Mentor". I won't go anywhere else for my skiing needs.

My daughter and I ski locally at Alpine Valley. I've been driving past this little place for years and got more curious every time. My daughter was developing some discomfort in her ski boots and I thought she needed some new ones. We decided to check them out on a 71 degree day in January ( no slopes open) . The shop is clean and neat, with the proper patina of age that makes it immediately comfortable for skiers used to older lodges. The inventory is amazing and covers everything from skiing to snowshoeing! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, with them figuring out by listening to my daughter that she had been instructed incorrectly on how to latch her 3 latch boots. They even encouraged my wife to give skiing another go (probably won't, but she does snowshoe and liked their selection)! Without having to buy boots, this freed up my meager ski dollars to finally get waxing equipment and they gave a good rundown of the process. My skis look great now! The prices were fair, and handled every reasonable budget without having cheap throwaway crap. Once again, the staff showed their passion for skiing and were so helpful! We just found our go to ski shop!!!
