These guys hard at work. Friendly and quick.
Conrad G.

This place has the best deal! When we walked in, the employees were very busy juggling multiple customers at a time. They were able to get people in and out while providing good customer service. One of the guys working (I didn't get his name) helped me setup my new Flow bindings and thanks to his expertise, I learned how to setup my bindings properly. Also, they have a nice machine that waxes your board quick. They really do a good job! My board ran smooth and I feel like my snowboard was properly tuned thanks to this place. My friends rented snowboard gear. The quality of the boards are A+. My friend got a brand new snowboard to use for her first time. Can't beat that! We are coming back next week and will use them again.

Kyle was great in the shop and super helpful. Definitely recommend the shop for rentals. They know their stuff and the fees for the equipment are super reasonable, we use them each time we come up here. Thank for the great service!

Boards and boots thanks to the guys from Blauer rentals

Snowboarding in president's day weekend. All 7 of us piled into my tiny SUV. Couldn't fit our boards in the car so we decided to rent at Snow Summit. After seeing snow summit's rental prices I opted to look elsewhere. Thanks to good old Yelp I found this place that's just down the block from Snow Summit. Stopped by first thing on Saturday morning to rent snowboarding gear. They're awesome! We were the first ones to pull up. The staff was in the front shoveling snow from the steps. It was half an hour before the store officially opened but they took us in anyways. They were quick, efficient, friendly, and cracked some jokes with us as well. Prices were very reasonable. The boards and boots were in great condition! Would definitely rent from them again!

Our little 4-years old and 2-years old snowboarders!

Since I have my own equipment, I didn't need to rent anything this weekend but I suggested this…read moreplace for my friends to rent skis & snowboard It has a great price & the staff are always kind every year when I come! Snowboard, boot & binding was $35. 2 sets of Ski, boots, & sticks were $70 Return is very convenient! We also rented the equipment the night before & it's only considered a one day rental

The only positive about this shop are the dog that roams around, and the reasonable pricing. I…read morestumbled upon this shop through a few Reddit recommendations. of this place. 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.

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.
