I've come into the store twice, once last year and just this last week. Last year I came to pick…read moreup a pair of sandals (Tava's) for a reasonable price. I really appreciate the service I received last year while purchasing my sandals. The woman helping in the shoe department was extremely helpful and friendly, and guided me to the appropriate pair of sandals. It's been a year so she made a positive lasting impression. This year I picked up a hat with good coverage for my son's. Along with some souvenirs, my son wanted to bring home for his friends (Truckee stickers). Besides my positive experience, the store seems to have just about everything from grills, too fishing gear amongst other things that you would carry an Ace Hardware store. They also had a nice varying selection of said categories. At the checkout counter there was a younger girl who welcomed me and ready to answer questions, I bought my hat, and I was on my way. Thanks for the consistency.

It went on from there. He was genuinely interested in my projects. He walked me through the processes, options, basics and pitfalls. He did a sample stick that I've used routinely in the last few months. Nate is knowledgeable and passionate about his work. I highly recommend him. He's a credit to Ace.

You can immediately feel the good energy in the space. The team was not only knowledgeable, but fun and engaging to be around. They took the time to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure I felt set up and excited for the adventure ahead. Nothing felt rushed or transactional. It felt like being welcomed by people who truly love what they do and love sharing it with others. They made me feel comfortable, included, and ready to get out there and enjoy everything Tahoe has to offer. In a mountain town, places like this really stand out. Great people, great vibe, and the kind of shop that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend supporting them.

Truckee Boardhouse is a hidden gem! I just got back into snowboarding after 15 years. Last Monday…read moremy wife and I went in looking for a new pair of snowboarding boots for me and ended up with boots, a new board, helmet and goggles. My wife also decided to get back into snowboarding and got herself a complete set up. We would have not bought that much if it was not for the attention and guidance we received from Shane. He spent time learning about us and figuring out what would be the best fit for both of us. Not only does the Truckee Boardhouse have a great selection but most importantly they know what they are talking about. I was looking at other places before walking in last week and within the first 10 minutes I knew I wasn't going to look anywhere else. You cannot put a value on customer service and expertise. We now will only go here for our snowboarding needs. They are also a full service shop where you can get your boards waxed, edged and repaired. We currently live down the hill from Truckee about 1.5 hours. I feel comfortable knowing if something goes wrong with my equipment on the mountain I am within 20 minutes of the Truckee Boardhouse to get something fixed or replaced. Hands down this is the place to go if you want a great selection, service and knowledgeable staff. They also have a killer deal during summer months to clear last year's products to make space for the new season as well as a great selection of summer goods and accessories.
