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.

Couldn't be happier -- great skis, service, shipping I had some terrible experience with rental skis and decided it was time to buy my own. Ahead of another ski weekend, I put in an order hoping that it would arrive in time. The team at Ski Essentials went above and beyond in so many ways to make sure I got the gear I wanted and it arrived the day I needed them. Thanks to Mike, Eric and Chris for making this one of the best online shopping experiences I've ever had.

5/5. Went to my local ski shop to buy a pair. They were asking $500 for only the skis. I found the EXACT same skis along with boots and poles for $494 on ski essentials website. I asked a question through the chat feature at 9pm and received an immediate response. Free shipping only took a few days. Would recommend ski essentials to anyone

The old bait and switch The old bait and switch. Ordered a pair of skis for a good deal that was advertised online. A couple days passed after my card was charged with the skis still listed on their website when I was notified they did not have the item. Giving an extra star because the email was polite and they offered the option for a refund or a different item and not just store credit or some other deception.

Truly outstanding customer service Truly outstanding customer service! I submitted a question for basic ski advice and their cs team, specificly Mike, answered with a short essay! He included so much information and insightful knowledge! Way beyond what I expected. In the end they help me make a very informed decision! Thank you Mike!
