First and foremost, Matt and his team are fast and friendly. Their prices are fair and the place is conveniently located. I usually rent the demo package and have been happy with the equipment for a few years now. This place is much more personal and feels like a small town shop, not like some of the other elitist and crazy impersonal shops around town. read more

After entering, we were greeted by friendly employees who helped us out. There was a wide selection of skis and boots and the prices (although I haven't been to many other places) seemed very reasonable. Overall, the entire experience from picking the boots and skis to returning was very hassle free, quick, and enjoyable. read more

Great experience! We rented a set of demo skis and accidentally cored them on the mountain. They accepted them back without making us pay extra. Plus they helped us get the right boots for my most comfortable experience skiing. Would definitely go back! read more

Customer service was amazing when we came in 20 minutes before closing for walk in rentals for three. The guys took the time to really understand our abilities and made sure we were all dialed in. Old school customer service at its finest! Will never rent from anywhere else in Mammoth!!! read more

I needed some race quality work done on my ski edges, and reached out to Fast Ski Sports via email as suggested on their web page. The owner, Matt, responded promptly and confirmed that he could do the work and turn it around quickly, despite the fact that this week is a very busy one in Mammoth as the industry demo teams are in town. Matt delivered a superb tune overnight as promised. For any tuning work, including race-level tuning, I can highly recommend Fast Ski Sports. Ask for Matt - he'll make sure the work you want gets done well and in a timely fashion. read more

Smaller shop with a nice selection of high end products, great service! A couple years ago husband and I both bought Elan skis here and have been very happy read more

Reasonable prices, convenient location, quality gear and very friendly staff. We had a great experience and they got us outfitted quickly with outstanding customer service. It was obvious they take pride in their work and have a high level of integrity. Do yourself a favor and don't make the mistake of going anywhere else. read more

Awesome customer service! Came in to get our boards waxed and they do a free machine wax, which only took about 10min per board. Most places charge about $10-$15 for this. The person who helped us was very friendly and informative. He made sure to give us the correct wax as we wanted it for spring conditions vs end of the season wax. read more

Great selection, awesome service! I needed new ski pants and poles on my recent trip to Mammoth and tried like 5 different places (it's end of season so selections most places were limited), not only did this place have a great selection of ski pants I really liked (I ended up buying 2 pairs), but the guys working there were so helpful and patient with me trying on a bunch of pairs. They had end of season discounts, so I got the 2 pairs of ski pants and poles for about the same cost I expected to pay for just 1 pair of nice pants. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Stop in and see Matt for all your skiing needs. Matt has been outfitting our kiddos since they could just walk and Fast Ski has been a staple for us for a decade. I don't trust anyone else in mammoth to get my kids equipment properly dialed in. Whether you are looking for a season rental, a day rental, new gear or some gently used gear, Matt will get you going. At Fast Ski you will get a level of attention and service that you won't quite find at the other shops in town. I love that I can often buy a set of gently used boots or skis for not much more than a season rental and pass them onto my next kid. Add to all this that Matt and his staff are genuinely nice, good people and it's hard to want to go anywhere else. read more

Friendly service, though crowded in the morning. They did the best they could. The equipment was very good, except maybe my helmet, but even that worked out. I recommend going in the late afternoon/evening beforehand and getting your stuff for the next day, if you don't want the delay or you don't want to waste time read more

These are the nicest people at mammoth. I stopped by for an infrared wax. They're awesome.

I came in late in the day hoping to get my family's skis waxed. They were able to get us waxed up & ready for the slopes in very short order while we waited. They were super nice, friendly, and knowledgeable; with decades of experience. It was my first time there, but it won't be my last! read more

Lemme start off by saying Matt is the BEST! He has the best quality rentals in Mammoth. Trust me I've rented them all! Also he is a real class act. Rentals are way cheaper than everywhere else, and they have a cool logo. I slapped one on the Range Rover. Thank you Matt for taking care of us, and we will be recommending everyone to here from now on. Thanks bud! Bret & Lindsay read more

Great shop. Knowledgeable people and a free ski wax to boot. We came in to look around and they offered us free ski waxes and they were done in five minutes. read more

Best service in town, cheap rentals, great employees, friendly, and they are super accountable.

Tuning waxing or buying new equipment, this is the best place in Mammoth. I even got a good deal when I forgot my helmet and needed to rent one for a few days. read more

Best people and rental shop around. I call them one week before we go out and they have skis and boots for my kids ready to go! Along with a complimentary quick wax for the gear I own! On this trip I asked the owner to find good demos and the specs I was looking for and they delivered! Ended buying great skis and bindings. This is the "Cheers" bar of ski stores where everyone know your name! Thanks Matt, Emily, Robin, And Stu! read more

Mammoth is open super late this year, so my wife and I wanted to get some skiing in on our summer vacation -- but we didn't want to haul skis on top of camping gear. Rental skis were in order! We tried "Fast Ski Sports" since they were next to the Vons we already stopped at. I was greeted walking in the door with a bored-looking employee. I told her we needed to rent skis and got a response that still boggles my mind: "Sorry, you should try a Ski Shop" what the heck is Fast Ski if not a ski shop then? totally bizzare response! read more

Just came here to rent some gear, showed up a bit past 8am. Matt was the only one there and he was awesome. Took great care of us, was very knowledgeable, and was so kind. We're so happy we came in! read more

What a great small business! They're personable, knowledgeable, and very friendly...they treat you like family! From the moment I called to make my appointment to have our ski's and boards ready, Matt was so pleasant! When we picked up, it was Stu...just as pleasant and friendly. We've been to Mammoth 3 times already in 2021 and we're only in February and each time I brought in my family and friends, groups of 8+. I've met Logan and I believe, Connor, was his name. All of them have Great customer service!!! Thank you, Matt and Stu...we will definitely be back and when my friends go to Mammoth, guess where I'm telling them to go? You got it, Fast Ski Sports! read more

This is my second time renting a snowboard and bindings from here and it's so affordable since I have my own boots. As of April 2023 it's $25/ day for just the board and bindings. If you reserve at least like 48 hours in advance you and rent for a couple of days I think you get a 20% discount. read more

Accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly staff! Awesome prices! Our go to place for snow rentals!

I came to rent a snowboard, boots, and bindings. I've previously rented in Big Bear and this would be my third time snowboarding. Much better customer service experience here, talking me through what the boots should feel like and how to put them on and take them off best. Appreciated their answers to my questions! read more

This is the place to get your skis tuned in Mammoth. They do hand tunes for racers and know their stuff. Matt, the owner, was super helpful in sorting out a bad tune I had done at another place. They have a great non-stressed out approach there, and really take their time with their clients. I noticed that with myself and the other clients being served around me. They also have some nice high performance demo skis to rent there. They even have this Japanese brand called Ogasaka. They're the only place you'll find that brand in all of North America. read more

I read a lot of good reviews on this place so I decided to take my family iof 5 in to rent skis. I noticed online I needed to make a reservation. However, I wanted to know what type of demo skis they rented. I emailed them. No answer. I finally got around to calling. The gentleman was super nice and told me about his brands. The window of 48 hrs had passed to make a reservation but he said there was plenty of skis to rent. I get there Tuesday 1/3 at 3.30 and the girl at the front said they could not accommodate our party size. WHAT? Off we went to another rental place. I guess lesson learned to make a reservation. I would of talked to the older gentleman but he was helping a family. It looked like they had skis in stock- I was willing to rent demo skis. Oh well off to the next rental store: read more

We have gone to Fast Ski Sports each year, for a decade, for our annual snowboard trip to Mammoth. These guys are so patient with kids, and us, since we arrive there straight in from an eight hour drive, to prepare for the next morning. They are good people, and the service is excellent. read more

These guys rock!!! Up in the area for the first time for a hockey tournament and we're in need of some extra gear for our goalie. They pointed us in the right direction for face and hand protection, and never tried to upsell. Wound up renting boards and helmets for a couple hours for the boys to take a run on some hills ..... My son went back in today to thank the crew for the help and before he said anything they remembered him and asked how he did in the tourney...was awesome. Thanks guys!!!!! read more

What a great place to rent your gear! We came 7:30 to rent for me and the kids, we had 2 people helping us gear up, all with great level of explanations and details. The day after, kids decided to pass the ski, so the store did not charge us for the extra day, I think this is also less expensive than to rent up in the mountain ($25 for kids/$40 for adult) Will sure use them again when I hit mammoth lake again, read more

The owner and his wife are super kind and give every customer personalized attention. The equipment was nice and well maintained. For the above reasons I want to give a 5 star rating, but the downside of that level of service in a small shop is that it may take a while to rent or return equipment during peak morning and after-ski hours. read more

I had such a great experience finding the perfect snowboard rental gear at this place! Matt helped me try on multiple pairs of boots to find just the right fit and my feet were happy on the slopes all week long! Super friendly staff and great selection of gear. Highly recommend! read more

We were a family of 5 coming in prob close to closing & the staff was soo friendly. They were a little pricier then other rentals but worth it with their patience and gave us many tips since we are beginners. The owner and employees were very patient & the gear was perfect. We would def come back for the outstanding help and everything worked out great. First shop when you come into town and drop off gear was super easy too. Thanks for making our experience so nice and being so patient with us and the kids. read more

Great rental gear and excellent service! I'll never rent any where else when I am in Mammoth. read more

Great experience here! We wanted to avoid the long lines and save time renting the night before skiing. Since it's been snowing so much we knew there would be crowds at the lodge. I liked the fact since it was after 5pm they did not charge us for that day of use and only charged one day of use. The staff had great attention to detail and wanted to make sure all the equipment was perfect for us and everything went through a double check. Most rental places I've been want you in and out and don't care if the boots fit correctly or if you have the correct sizes. They wanted to make sure everything was perfect so we'd have a great tome on the slopes. We weren't sure if we'd ski for one or two days and the owner said if we wanted a second day that was fine, just give him a call to let him know. The equipment we rented were all in great condition, the boots seemed new as well. Highly recommend coming here to save time waiting in line up at the mountain. read more

The owner is the greatest guy and knows his stuff. We come here specifically to do business with him and say the heck with every other shop in town. read more

Amazing service, a nice change for a Mammoth Lakes board shop. I was looking to have my board waxed and tuned and didn't want to go to the same stores that were on Main St from past experiences. The shops on Main St are usually ran by teenagers that are often rude and not very helpful. After doing a quick search, I decided to give Fast Ski Sports a chance from the other great reviews. I walked in and was greeted by one of the two older gentleman that were working there. After informing him what I needed, he apologetically explained to me that what I needed could not be done overnight. I needed a minor top sheet repair, edge tune, and a wax. He explained to me that they were already booked up for overnight service but also explained to me that the top sheet damage was minor and that I could try to fix it myself with some epoxy work. He also provided directions to the nearest hardware store where I could get some supplies. I asked him if he could give me a quick machine wax and he said that he would be happy to for free. He promptly waxed my board happily and I was on my way. I wish I could have purchased something from there to thank him for his wonderful service but I didn't need anything. I will definitely visit the store on future visits for any supplies that I need. read more

this is an updated review for them. our 2nd time renting from this place. again, this one everything was excellent. the owner Matt is a great dude. they stayed open during thanksgiving day, we got here around 1PM and we were in and out within 10 minutes. we were the only group that was in there. and i had a good chat with Matt regarding the city and the ski area. would consider them again for equipment rental. even one of the girl in our group ended up buying the shoes that she rented. it was just that great of a quality. lol Thank you Matt! read more

This little shop does a GREAT job tuning skis. New owners since September 2017, Matt and his staff work hard to provide their best service, advice and good pricing. We arrived at a VERY busy time of day during a Spring Break week to rent a set of skis, boots and poles and get new skis and bindings set and tuned and they got us taken care of as quickly as could be expected. Not only that, but Matt remembered us and the details of our interactions later when I brought in a second set of skis to be tuned. Those skis, Volkl Mantras, never slid so well. I'm stoked!! They are conveniently located near the Vons store. Highly recommended. read more

Top notch service! Stu really helped me out of a jam. My wife's boot strap decided to split apart weeks before our trip. Stu was able to put it perfectly back together. On top of that, their free wax is a can't miss! Will be going here often! read more

This small shop is located right across the street from my condo on Old Mammoth Road. They have a hot wax roller and offer free waxes (it's customary to give a tip - the tip jar is near the cash register and helps buy dog food for the resident pit bull who sleeps on a cushion near the front window of the shop.) There is a small selection of gloves and ski equipment and they do ski rentals. Robin, the Australian store manager, usually has a football (aka soccer) game on the telly and provides local mountain gossip, occupancy rates, ski conditions, etc. He is quite helpful when it comes to ski equipment and will help you with various issues you may be having. I'm guessing he doesn't specialize in snowboard equipment advice. For that, I would recommend Wave Rave on Main Street. I appreciate the free daily hot waxes and enjoy chatting with Robin in the mornings. Command Performance/Fast Ski is another example of a nice, down to earth Mammoth shop. read more
