Things didn't break right and we weren't able to get them in to leave them over night so we had to come in the day we were rolling out of town. Jack was very understanding and took care to get them turned around for us quickly. Most shops would have hustled it and done a botch job but they came out super slick. Grateful to my buddies for a stellar recommendation and to Jack in the tune shop for living up to it! Thanks again!

Pinnacle is THE shop for buying, demoing, or renting ski/snowboard equipment near Stowe, VT…read more While Pinnacle offers the largest demo supply in the State of Vermont, the Shop's welcoming and knowledgeable staff truly set them apart from any other business. Special thanks to Mike @ Pinnacle, who's subject mater expertise, patienence, and genuine personality, made the visit (including the 30 min detour) all the worth the while. After discussing four different ski options with Mike, and two days of demos, I opted to purchase a pair and could not be more thrilled. Thank you Mike, & Pinnacle, for such a pleasant customer experience and successful purchase of my first pair of skis!

Jason and the rest of the crew were amazing and nice. some of the best ski shop service I have ever had. The amount of products they carry is stunning. I believe that you can get anything you need there. The value was also great. I got a top notch pair of telemark skis and boots for very cheap. all around the best ski shop in vermont.

Was curious to learn more about a ski to purchase and guy downstairs running rentals w a bit of a limp said, "I'm way too busy to bother with this" went upstairs and pretty similar attitude from woman working register w dark hair / nose ring. Maybe because its a holiday and they were probably busy and likely under-staffed, it was just a bad day, but it's tough to justify going back when there are better options such as Pinnacle in town

They sized my foot and convinced me that my toe should be touching the top of the boot, so I trusted their expertise and went with the purchase after having custom made foot beds placed. Trying boots on in the store is different than on the hill, as we all know. I regret buying these boots after wearing them for the past 2 seasons. My toes, feet, and legs hate them. ive gone back to the store multiple times to tell them the boots are too small, they've tried making adjustments for me, which i appreciate, but it doesn't fix the problem. i dont recommend going here because they might size you too small/aggressively.

100% worth it. Literally- don't pass up this company!…read more We were traveling from Louisiana (where there's no need for snow clothes) to Colorado where we would definitely need weather appropriate clothing. KitLender had it all. I ordered a full kit for myself (a north face jumpsuit, boots, gloves, and goggles) as well as a pair of snow pants. My husband got a snow bib and boots. And my toddler got a full kit (snow bib, jacket, boots, mittens, and goggles). ALL of this for a fraction of the cost to buy. However, the best part was I had to pack NONE of it. It was delivered to my lodge, we used it, repacked it, and it was picked up by FedEx from the lodge to go back to KitLender. I think it was the least stressful part of our family vacation (lol). WILL DEF BE USING AGAIN! THANKS KL!

Zero stars if that were an option. Absolute failure when it mattered most…read more I ordered ski clothing from Kit Lender for 9 people nearly a full month in advance (28 days) for what was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Big Sky. We did everything right to avoid issues. Kit Lender did everything wrong. When FedEx tracking showed delays, I proactively contacted the company on December 31. I was reassured they were "working on options." That reassurance turned out to be meaningless. Fast forward to January 2, the night before our 8am flight, and suddenly I'm told nothing can be done. It gets worse. When I called customer service, I was actually told that I should drive to Billings, Montana to pick up the shipment myself from a FedEx warehouse. Let that sink in. Their proposed solution was that I abandon my travel plans to fix their logistics failure. I asked a very reasonable question: why not arrange Saturday delivery, since the items were already sitting at the Billings FedEx facility? I was told a manager named Ben would call me back after speaking with FedEx. He never did. Instead, Ben sent a dismissive email claiming FedEx doesn't deliver to business addresses on weekends. I immediately responded clarifying that we were staying in a private home, not a business. No response. I called again asking for Ben. The person who answered hesitated, clearly knew who I was, and said "uhhh... is this Nikki?" before telling me Ben would call me shortly. He never did. I have now called four times and am sent straight to voicemail. No callback. No urgency. No ownership. Here's the part that matters most: This was a bucket-list trip for my mother, who has breast cancer. She asked for her children and their partners to take her skiing in Big Sky. We spent an enormous amount of money on this trip. And thanks to Kit Lender's complete lack of accountability, we are arriving with no ski clothing for anyone and scrambling at the last minute to fix a problem that should never have happened. Yes, they offered a refund. And then they disappeared. Refunds don't fix ruined plans. Refunds don't replace lost time. Refunds don't excuse a total failure of customer care when things go wrong. Every company looks good when everything goes smoothly. Kit Lender showed exactly who they are when things were in distress. The answer was silence, deflection, and indifference. If your trip matters to you, do not trust this company. When it counted, they did not care -- not about our vacation, not about solutions, and certainly not about their customers.

After a disastrous customer service experience at another Sure Foot store, I swore I'd never step…read morein another subsidiary. Well, one of the kids wanted custom-made boots and we went in. The experience was superb. The store takes a smallish footprint on Mountain Road on the way to the Stowe resort. Plenty of seating, well-stocked displays and a friendly and attentive shopkeeper. The technology is quite different than when I made by Surefoot boots at Whistler many years ago. Much more of a comfortable experience, and with the attendant explaining every step of the process. The boots now have Integrated heaters to make even a more pleasant experience. Yes they are not cheap but considering that boots are the number one determinant of both, enjoyment of the sport as well as performance on the snow, custom made boots are a great value. And my sister in law got a really nice ski helmet on sale, on top of that. Happy customers throughout.

I've been in a couple of times this week to grab necessities, and they've been fantastic. Knowledgeable, helpful, patient with my rowdy toddler.

They even replaced the part with one from a nicer line. When I went to pay they said that it was quick and easy and the part they used was "spare parts" so I didn't have to. I tried to insist but they wouldn't let me and just started working on the next board. Awesome store that I would highly recommend for both their gear selection, and specifically their extremely reasonably priced repair services!
