Honest reviews and great service I was looking for new skis this season after finally getting fed up with my current ones. While researching various brands and types of skis, I came across several in-depth reviews by SkiEssentials.com. They definitely narrowed down what I was looking to buy. When I was ready to buy, the price was great and the service stellar. Very happy to support businesses like this.

Terrible experience. Purchased boot from this retailer through Amazon. I like to support smaller shops, but I am in between sizes on the boots and need to return. Discovered that the return shipping fee they charge is $60 for the boots, which is insane and was not described on the listing. Robbery when other retailers charge at most $10 return shipping. Will never use them again.

Bought a pair of Elan 106 Ripsticks Bought a pair of Elan 106 Ripsticks. Had about 6 resort days on them when the edge blew out. On the outside edge by the way. Local ski shop said if it were them, they would warranty. Sent photos to ski essentials and because there was a scratch near the edge blowout they determined it was from impact. I wouldn't be surprised if they considered a water spot "impact". Garbage ski shop and rude customer service with that hipster-I know everything about skiing-attitude.

Amazing people and products Amazing people: friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. I learned a lot and really felt they had my best interest. They even talked me down from a more expensive ski because they knew what I was looking for. I will never go anywhere else to buy ski equipment other than ski essentials and Pinnacle (their B&M)

Received a wrong spec of product Received a refund on return shipment & $30 2-Day Air, being offered 2-Day shipping on the order for 2nd set of skies. Received a wrong spec of product, paid extra $30 for 2-Day Air but a carton arrived after 4 days. Sent an email, left a voicemail but no response since this morning. Horrible shopping experience with them.
