So, logically, when I decided that this would be the year for me to finally wrap my head around this whole "snowboarding thing" they were my go-to guy, er.. store. I stopped in mostly just to figure out what size boot I needed, since it is a bit different than fitting a ski boot or a shoe, and walked out with a really comfy, and kind of snazzy looking, pair of boots for under $200.

There was no packing slip, I still don't know what would happen if I were to return it. But I'm gonna keep the items. I got 600 down filled Columbia jacket for my hubby for a great price.

We have purchased ski equipment and ski gear from Hoigarrd's for many years including all new ski…read moreequipment for our almost 14 year old this year. My son was finally able to ski yesterday with my husband after being medically sidelined for a couple weeks. Anyway, they were on the ski lift after their third run when my son/husband noticed my son's skis were chunking apart all along both skis. My son had not crashed. My son is an advanced but cautious skier and with my husband the entire time. They were at Wild Mountain doing first season runs. Nothing wild about it. Anyway, when they returned I took the skis in as clearly there was a product issue. I was greeted by John in the ski department. I was, undoubtably, frustrated as my son had ski plans for today and starts school ski club Friday. John made a rude comment about me being frustrated and how "kids banging their skis together cause that kind of damage" that immediately put me on defense. My husband and son arrived at 10:45am and I had received a text about the skis falling apart by noon. I again repeated that they had only completed three runs and asked how that was possible my son damaged the skis. John continued to blame my son for the damage. Now my husband is a life long skier, I took skiing up as an adult, and if anyone should have damage to skis it should be me. My husband was floored as to cause as he has never seen skis do this. The manager was brought in and agreed to take the skis back, replace them and bind them (thank you) but that is where the only positive customer service ended. John came back to have me sign a release for mounting and kept going on needing to talk to my son about knocking his skis together (because that is what happened in his opinion) and would not let it go, again and again, even after I again stated this was noted after three runs, first season runs, at Wild. I finally asked John if the entire interaction would have been the same had my husband been standing there instead of me. John continued on. The manager stepped in and told John to give it a rest and he still didn't want to stop. I appreciate the quick turn around help from the manager but the front facing customer service was horrific. Hoigaard's lost a customer last night.

We came here on a suggestion for skateboard/longboard. We've been to one other store and it was meh. Trevor was our stellar longboard master help this evening. He was SO knowledgeable and patient with us. We easily sucked up almost 2 hours of his time. He went above and beyond in my opinion for customer service. We walked out with a beautiful put together long board that my daughter felt great about as a beginner- wheel color & type, bearings, & truck color of her choice- all switched out by this cool dude- Free of charge for him to give her exactly what she wanted to boot! Plus all the tools and padding needed for her to get started with. The rest of this store...now I'll admit that I have t been in too many store like this but it seems to me they have a lot of great things to offer for multiple type of "sports". Frisbee golf, water sport, winter sports... They even carry some hats, fun gloves, backpacks, sunglasses, and even summer flip flops! We will definitely be back when Emma is ready to do some upgrading or need the bearings changed on her board. These guys rock!!!

I brought new downhill skis and bindings into Erik's to be mounted. Details of the timeline and my…read moreexperience are below, but the summary is - I'd suggest you find another place to mount bindings. Erik's, in my experience, is not skilled at this task. Timeline: December 10 - brought Season powder skis and Marker bindings into Erik's. I bought these skis/bindings from Evo.com (online ski retailer) as a compatible combo. December 11 - I received a call asking me for my proof of purchase for the bindings after the Erik's ski tech cracked what they referred to as the "Clamor" part of the bindings, and they needed to contact Marker to get a replacement. December 13 - I was informed that the mounting failed, which left holes in the skis in the location where the ski manufacturer recommends bindings be mounted. Erik's staff asked if I was OK re-mounting my bindings in a different location on the skis, and the previous holes epoxied. I informed Erik's that I was not OK with this, and we agreed that Erik's would replace the skis. December 22 - Erik's confirmed the replacement skis were at the store, and the replacement Marker bindings parts were as well. I was informed that my bindings were going to be mounted by the Erik's ski tech who does all the training in order to reduce risk of mounting issues during the next attempt. January 5 - I was informed my skis were ready. January 6 - I picked up my skis, and was charged the full amount for the mounting of my bindings despite the time and hassle cost of the experience. Summary: In the end Erik's made things right, and did a good job of communicating clearly along the way as well as setting expectations appropriately, but I would caution against having bindings mounted by Erik's unless you have no time pressure, and are willing to deal with potential hassle along the way.
