    Coming from Vegas and our first time snowboarding. The staff are very accommodating and helpful! Price is cheaper too! We will definitely rent out again next time!

    Vincent was AMAZING. We came in for a preordered board and wertreated like queens. He made sure to set the bindings to our needs, even after 3 tries, so patient. He fitted us for boots, molded them and all. Then he made sure the boots had the correct arch support to give his best recommendation. He even made sure we didn't over pay and suggest what was best to keep us safe vs upwelling us and getting us out . EVERYONE should go see them.

    Super friendly service

    I was in dire need for some ski rentals for my twin girls and was overwhelmed with all the choices in Big Bear!! Big Bear Boards had the most positive reviews and I'm so happy I found this place because the process was so seamless! Jul was so friendly to help me fit the girls. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a rental or purchasing quality snow gear.

    This team was so helpful.. seriously.

    Ask the Community - Big Bear Boards

    Hi, I'd like to bring a friend who has never skied to the mountain. How much does it cost for my friend to rent skis and for a lift ticket please?

    To rent skis at the shop is is $30 that includes skis, poles and the boots. As for the lift ticket the prices change daily and depends if you buy them in advance so I can’t tell you a accurate price for the lift tickets.

    Does your shop provide board waxing and tuning services ? What is the price and duration of treatment ? Need to make an appointment?

    We sure do

    Do you offer kids ski tune up? Quote?

    Ski tube up? The sleds or kids snow suit?

    How much are ski lessons?

    Ski Lessons vary on length of the class. Only the Resort is allowed to provide lessons due to Resort rules. Snow Summit’s website should have all the information but not sure if they list the prices them in the off season.

    Pretty disappointed with our board and equipment rental experience at Scotty's Ride Shop, and like…read moremost experiences, it was the people that made all the difference. AI said Scotty's was known for its friendly and helpful staff, and specifically a good place for families newer to boarding and renting outside of the local resorts. It's not our *first* rodeo, but it was the first time we ventured away from renting onsite at the resort. To be honest, I was a little intimidated at the thought of renting at a "board shop", imagining being surrounded by intermediate and expert-level boarders both at and behind the counter, impatient with this mom and her relative-noob 10-year-old son. Well, it could have been worse I guess, but my fear was confirmed. We walked in around 8ish Friday night to rent for the next day. Zero other customers in the store. The lead clerk was engrossed watching something on his phone and looked up with a scowl. The tone of his "How can we help you?" was agitated, as though we knocked on his apartment front door at 11 PM asking for a cup of sugar. Once I said we were there for a board rental for the next day, he groaned and without eye contact, he droned rote orders to start the rental process. His tone down-shifted from agitated to condescending, as though I was a petulant child who had already disobeyed his commands the first round. Now I was pissed so the smile left my face and I dropped my cheerful tone. I was grateful when his colleague took over the next step; he smiled at us and chatted us up but unfortunately, it was back to muppet-hair (yes--this was his defining physical feature) for the rest of the process. By this time, another couple walked in and he might have realized he was being a jerk to me because he bucked up back into a passable professional tone and demeanor to greet them. Maybe it's because my son is a tween, but the remainder of this dude's spiel was back to a condescending and rude tone--again like we were 5 and stupid. He even made a point to shame us for choosing Snow Valley, explaining it was really because he would NOT be coming "all the way" to SV if there was an issue with the board my son could not fix over the phone or FaceTime. Not the family- and beginner-friendly vibes I was promised by reviews. To be fair, the clerk who answered the phone when I first called Scotty's a few weeks back (definitely a different guy--different voice) *was* super friendly and gracious! Where was that guy that night? My son had noticed the grouchy and condescending tone as well, commenting on it once we were safely back in my car. And when it came time to return the rental, he said, "I hope it's not that same guy." I assured him it most likely wasn't because now it was two days later and a different time of day. Wishful thinking; it was the same clerk! He was about as friendly as that previous Friday night but at least this time we were prepared for it. The board itself--just the basic package--was pretty nice and newer, that part lived up to expectations as advertised. It was so nice that my son's Snow Valley snowboard instructor commented on how sick it was which made my son beam and me feel like I did right by him. But all the local board shops offer this for around the same exact price, so the difference is customer service as far as I can tell. I have a feeling this guy was the exception to the rule at Scotty's--just bad luck we got him, I guess. But enough where I'm not gonna roll the dice on this shop again anytime soon.

    This is THE spot. Scotty's been taking care of me and my friends for the last 5 years. He just…read moremoved into this bigger shop and it's even closer to Summit and Bear. He has different levels of boards and skis so you can upgrade to some cool stuff. They have a bunch of gear to buy as well. I bought my first snowboard from here and he hooked it up with a great deal. Got to know some of the other employees over time and always a warm welcome at this place. The prices are great, cheaper than some of the other spots I've seen. This new location is way more convenient, it's next door to a 7-Eleven and a Mc Donald's.

Now let's begin, Check-in was fine, but things quickly went downhill. We were initially 3rd in line for the ski demo 'expert'. He seemed to be quite knowledgable to his credit and took his time with each customer. However, despite us waiting patiently, he started having people who arrived much later, cut in front of us. We somehow go from 3rd in line to being 16th. We stayed patient up until this point, until he got a little too excited with this younger girl behind us. This was the final straw. This is when I finally spoke up that we've been waiting a long time and needed to be taken care of first, when he got extremely salty. At this point his mood had shifted quite drastically. He starts by saying I notice you put 'Intermediate' as your ski level. For context, I was on the Mammoth Ski Team for 2 years when I was much younger. That being said, I hadn't skied in a few years by then and grew a few inches so I didn't remember my exact ski height. Continuing throughout our conversation, he says "Oh if you were an intermediate skier, you'd be able to know what your ski height is." Then proceeds to say this 3 more times throughout our interaction. The ski boot fitting station wasn't that helpful either as he had given me an ill-fitting boot that had a massive divot by the toe section. I proceed to hand it back and ask for him to get me a new pair after explaining the situation. And he blankly looks at me and asks if I need a new pair. This store was very disorderly and condescending. As an Asian customer, I feel like preferential treatment was given to others. This was not my interaction with Dustin (the owner that responds to these Yelp comments), but one of his employees.
