We had such a great experience at Clearwater Sports! The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful from start to finish. The girls rented snowshoes and sleds and had an absolute blast. Everything was easy, smooth, and fun. We’ll definitely be back!

My 10 year old daughter said to me when we walked out. 'He was so nice'. I don't need to say anything more about our experience.
