I was a bit dismayed to discover that they no longer sell secondhand skis, that was such a great service to the community, but in the end I went with new and was super happy with my decision. They offered an excellent price for the whole kit - boots, skis, and poles. They are pretty basic but exactly what I need, lightweight and comfortable and just my size. The service from everyone was friendly, chill, helpful, funny, just great. I love that they have a quality control station where someone makes sure everything you bought is in good working order before you go. And I love how much outdoor equipment they have from Montreal companies. Now... if it'll just stop raining...

So you're looking for skis or you're looking for hockey equipment or maybe a snowboard. This is…read moredefinitely a place you need to check out. Poubelle du Ski has been around for a long time and they know their stuff. They also have outdoor active wear like pants and coats. Some notes on ambiance. This place is normally packed so be patient. They'll get you what you need but sometimes the place is busting at the seams so a little patience goes a long way. Éric and Yan helped me out this time around and when I tell you these guys know what they're doing I mean it. I'm a hard for for boots both hockey and ski but these guys knew exactly what to grab if one bit wasn't working. My visit to be fitted for ski boots and hockey skates took a couple of hours but again that's down to me being a hard fit. Don't feel rushed by the atmosphere, take your time and pick the right boot or skate or coat or whatever it is you're looking for. The staff will never rush you.

The place: This store is smaller than its counterpart in Laval and thus, more cramped. It was a little difficult to get by other shoppers when moving down some of the aisles, and the store wasn't packed at all. The goods: These guys primarily sell outdoor clothing and backpacks, though, personally, I think there is a wider selection of bags over at MEC. In terms of clothing, they carry brand names - off the top of my head, I remember Lole and Prana. Service: No one greeted me or assisted me while I was there but the cashier was very friendly. Price point: To be honest, the only reason I stopped in was because I was dying of heat and I wanted to get something short-sleeved to change into. So, being in a rush, I got a Lole shirt which ran me $54. A bit steep, but I like Lole and I was too darn hot to go look elsewhere!

In my case I was searching for a new pair of ski boots and was told by a friend that the folks at Ski Town did proper boot fittings. Armed with that tip I hopped in my car one weekend morning and made the trek out to Ski Town in hopes of finding a new pair of boots. It is far if you live on the island and it isn't accessible by public transit but I really wanted good gear. Once I arrived I was quickly greeted by one of the sales people and had my measurements taken for a boot fitting. From there he brought out several pairs for me to try on. I was so happy when I was able to find one that fit me properly. Indeed after two ski outings I can confidently say that the boots work well for me and I couldn't be happier. The trek out here was definitely worth my time.
