Blauer is our go-to shop if we have to rent gear in Big Bear. Efficient, friendly, and well priced. Always had a good experience!

Thank you for the support with our last minute order. Positive experience, would recommend

Gotta say I have always reserved on property, but after my last visit i was a bit leery of how many people were packed into the rental area with little to no distancing. So, I broke my long tradition and reserved skis the day before at their website. Pulled up 5 minutes after opening on a non-holiday Friday, the line outside wasn't very long. Pleased to see they only let a few people into the store at a time. Skis were ready and waiting. Rave reviews on the comfort of the boots. People were friendly and bathrooms were immaculate, even at the end of the day. Heading back up the mountain tomorrow and reserving my skis right now. One thought might be to have a separate line for people who have reserved skis as I spent quite a while waiting for a person to pick which goggles they liked best. See you tomorrow!! Update February 15th Arrive early on Presidents' Day. Boy we're they ready. The line moved perfectly with no messing around. It was great. Got our gear and we were on the road within a few minutes. Snow boots again were a perfect fit and very comfortable. This is my new go to place for ski gear!! Bravo to the Blauer team!!! read more

Excellent service, super efficient rental and return processes, great staff, top notch gear.

Very easy rental online and when we arrived, everything was pulled as we reserved. My daughter needed a size up on her boots and staff was very helpful to make sure she got what she needed. We left with quality ski equipment and had a fun day. Traffic coming out of resort was horrible so I called to tell them we were going to be late and they assured me they would wait and not charge late fees. Would definitely rent from them again. Great shop. read more

Blauer Ski & Board - Great ski equipment rental and experience! Bravo - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Running Springs, California

Excellent service, quality gear, fast, efficient, great price, cool shop dog. What more could you ask for from an outfitter?

So glad we gave this board shop a ring for our tune ups this year. Had 3 boards waxed and sharpened and also did some work on my binding toe strap that broke last season. The people working were kind and professional, we'll be back and recommend you give them a try! read more

Reserved skis the day before on their website (which I highly recommend), and when I picked up my rental, I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The staff at Blauer is fast, efficient, and give great customer service. I rented demo skis and they were perfect for an awesome day of skiing. Definitely renting here again! read more

I've rented from them twice now, and had them do some work on my equipment once. Doesn't matter if they are slammed on a holiday weekend, or quiet because of inclement weather -- they are always friendly, helpful and get the job done. Anytime I have someone with me who needs equipment, this will be my go-to rental location. And they will always get my business tuning my gear! read more

Great place to rent gear! We had car trouble and couldn't get our rental dropped off on time. We called beforehand to let them know and they were kind and understanding! They have are business from now on! Thank you!!! read more

Scott turned a bad situation around, what a nice guy who puts his customers first, thank you for taking great care of your customers. I fully recommend getting your ski gear from this outfit! read more

They were nice and friendly, and work to make sure you have the right equipment. The line was super long when we went, so make sure you get there early. Basically, on the mountain one of my boots broke so that I was unable to ski at all, they didn't even ask, they just refunded my money and were professional and cool about the whole thing. Affordable and cool, definitely get your equipment from here! read more

Excellent customer service and selection!! I bought a board from them online and they provided awesome customer service when there was an issue that I created myself with the delivery. They quickly turned my order around, cleaned up my mess, and got me my board. Especially when the snow is this great, I wouldn't have expected such quick and friendly customer service. Above and beyond!! read more

I've rented skis and boots from Blauer's several times and the rental process is quick and easy. You can reserve online or in the store. They have all sorts of equipment and gear for all ages. I love that they're located a few miles from the snow resorts so it's very convenient to pick up your equipment and then head over to the slopes. read more

Blauer Ski & Board - Skis - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Running Springs, California

Reserved skis, poles & boots the night before heading up to Snow Valley. I arrived at 8:30 the next morning. After I checked in and signed the needed paperwork, my gear was ready. The guy behind the counter had me double check the boot fit and I was out. 10 minutes. Had great fun on the slopes. Felt I was fitted exactly to my skill level (intermediate). Will return. read more

Easy to reserve and all is ready when you arrive to pick up. Great selection of boots and skiis to try.

Rented from Blaur Ski and Board for two days of boarding for my kids. I did the online reservation and pick up was super easy. They offer the convenient day before pickup so you're not trying to rush in the morning. Will definitely return for our next trip up to the snow!! read more

First time reserving our skies with Blauer. They deserve 5 stars for the reservation, service at the store, and the drop-off process. They are rightfully popular at Big Bear. I recommend you make your reservations online during the hot season. The crew is super nice and fast. We did not need additional gear, however, you can find everything related to snow vacation in Blauer stores. And if you are lucky, you might see their wonderful dog hanging out there as well. read more

I made a reservation to pick up snowboard rentals. I was in and out in minutes. The gear was in great shape and the guys helped us everything was good to go. read more

Just went day skiing no hassle walk in get boots get gear go skiing. Easy in, easy out.

Took family up to Snow summit for my birthday , one son needed boots skis and poles. My wife found this place made sense as we always rented away from resort had great success. We arrive front cashiers where great Left my don to get his gear to use bathroom . Get to hill and top boot buckles will not close with tension. Loose , tried all adjustments. Anyhow returned the equipment and mentioned to the guys in return hey these boots Dont close up. I was not looking for a refund ... he told me to take the card charge slip to front desk that it was the kids working boots fault. Lil redhead cashier got in defensive mode and started snipping at me you should have brought them back right away... ??? Seriously After paying parking unloading car lift tickets and getting in front of chairlift go ow they messed up the boots are not closing lets leave resort drive all the way back to return . Not . This was not about money but bad customer service . I wasn't going to argue with a glazy eyed kid over wrong or right . Beware To make sure everything is working before leaving blaur so your day at the hill wont be a bad experience guess we should have tented at the hill this time to avoid this ‍ read more

Came here for ski tune up, I just got my skiis somewhere else and found out that they were too big.. The guy who helped me out was super nice and helped me get some rentals cuz otherwise I wouldn't have been able to ski after driving all this way. Thanks guys for all your help and made it turn into a good day even when I had bad news. read more

The people were nice The worst skis and boots we have ever rented They were new , but incredibly uncomfortable 4 of us all agreed... read more

This place is excellent. They are very fast, well-staffed, knowledgeable and very kind. I had an issue with one of the rental boots (completely my fault), and the manager, Scott, was absolutely amazing to deal with and got us sorted out quickly. I couldn't imagine renting from anywhere else on the mountain. read more

Easy in and out, friendly staff, and a great price. The Running Springs location is really close to Snow Valley. The equipment was in good shape and was just what we needed. read more

Very easy-to-use website to place a rental order for a family of 4 the day before our ski trip. Plus used the 10% yelp discount coupon. Easy and efficient pickup the next morning on the way up to the slopes. Better prices and quality of rental skis and boots compared to what you get at the ski resort. No lines and clean bathroom too! Will definitely use them again next time were up in the Big Bear area. read more

Rented skiing and snowboarding equipment for all 3 of us. Everyone was friendly, we were in and out quickly and everything worked well. Will definitely use them again next time we're in the area. read more

Easy to book online, and great and fast service once in the store. Forgot to add helmet when making reservations, and was happily helped out with this, no problems. Great equipment as well. Will definitely visit again. Sooo much better than renting on the mountain. read more

Love being able to make a reservation and your gear is ready for you at pickup. Staff was very nice, friendly, cool, and helpful with rentals for my entire family including kids, and handling last minute changes due to my husbands broken arm. I have rented from Blauer before and will continue to do so. Thanks for making our trip a little easier! read more

My first time renting at this spot and I was not disappointed. Pick up was quick and easy. Staff was attentive and quick.

Came up for a weekend to try snowboarding and Blauer's reservation site was quick and easy to navigate. I love that they have the option to pick up the gear the night before without a fee, super convenient and also reasonable prices! The day of use we were having car troubles on the way back to return it and I was able to give them a call and they allowed us to return it first thing the next morning!! Super appreciative of the understanding services of the workers. I would highly recommend :) read more

Rental Equipment was really new and great quality, service was super speedy. Staff were all really helpful and patient as we tried stuff on. A much better quality of gear rental than you get on the mountain. Like the fact you can pick up gear the night before to save time In the morning. read more

Fantastic service and incredible rental equipment! Most comfortable boots ever, will return!!! Thanks!

Picking up the day before was awesome. Staff was friendly and helpful as they had us in and out quickly. Prices were great and equipment was solid and new! read more

I haven't walked in the store, but just had such a great experience with whomever answered the phone this morning. I asked her how the roads were (we're in Twin Peaks and it's gnarly over here with the storm), and she pointed me in the right direction to get the best real-time road condition updates. And even though Blauer is sold out of seasonal rentals, and does not have too much equipment left to sell, she gave me the name of another business that does have equipment, which is super super cool to do! That's some amazing customer service right there! Thanks Blauer team! read more

I needed to use the restroom badly one of those situations i stopped by here and asked if i could use the restroom the Gentleman over the counter didnt hesitate to let me use it me and my family 02-08-16 3:15pm read more

Blauer Ski & Board - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Running Springs, California

We were pleased with Blauer Board Shop online reservation service.Everything was prepared as we had arrived!It was fast and easy!They always meet our expectations!It is better than renting from Ski resort! PS We were in rush and didn't check the adjustment on my daughter skies, it was our fault.It is easier to do by yourself;) read more

Everything was smooth until I was yelled at by 2 employees to move my car. Maybe if they had asked I would have told them I had a broken chain that was messing with my break line. Great trip besides being treated very poorly. read more

I came here on my way from arrowhead to snow summit. I hadnt snowboarder in a few seasons so I wanted to get my board a wax since it had been sitting in storage. They were so nice and looked at my board and told me I didnt need a wax. So friendly and didnt try to upsell me and charge me for a wax when I didnt need one. A good honest business. I ended up getting a cute new stomppad. Clean and organized store with honest and friendly staff. read more

Fast service. Cheap prices!! Sniw board binding, board, and boots for less than $30. I have been renting my gear at the summits all of last season but this time my boyfriend was able to suggest renting it at this gem which made the picking up and returning a very smooth process. We were able to avoid the chaos that happens at rental places. Convenient location at Running Springs. There are also multiple locations near Bear mountain. You can return your rentals at a different location than the place of pickup which I thought was pretty cool. read more
