I was looking for an All-mountain board that would better suit my riding style for the upcoming season and I always enjoy going to Easy Rider. The staff here are always friendly and were very helpful in helping me select a board that fit my needs. You can tell these guys ride and really know their stuff!! They had an impressive selection of gear for the upcoming season but also a good carryover from last season on sale for 40% off. I wound up going with a Burton Deep Thinker from last season, and at 40% off, I was thrilled. Easy Rider has a huge selection of snowboards, boots and bindings as well as a good selection of outer wear. They also carry some pretty specific boards for carving and backcountry that you don't see in your average shop. They also have skateboards, longboards and stand up paddle boards to cover your summer sports. This is my go-to local shop for anything skate or snowboard related!

I was on the phone most of the time trying to communicate between my boyfriend who was in Calgary and myself while I was discussing the difference between the Union Atlas and Burton Genesis he helped us select the one that would work best for the type of ridin we'd be doing. Honestly he wasn't pushy and you didn't feel pressured this is exactly the type of service you want!!! If I have anymore boarding needs I'll definitely be coming here !!! Thanks David.

They let you choose your style of sharpening as well. They also have a decent sized collection of hockey equipment and sticks in the winter, and the same the summer with cycling equipment as well. Definitely would recommend this place for sharpenings if you're on the Northside as I've been going here for greater than 10 years.

The best place I've seen in Edmonton so far! The staff is…read morevery polite, helpful and very knowledgeable for what they do! Unlike other chain stores that the objective is: sell quickly and hit the target, they take their time and talk to you and try different options to make sure you get the right product and leave the store satisfied! We were there for ski boots and I think we took the longest time for our purchase! I'm very happy that I went there. If you want to enjoy skiing or snowboarding, go there! :) I know I will!

After sharing a…read morebit about how he skis (and that he has had a few concussions from hockey), Ryan was able to narrow us down to a few helmets and fully explain the technology and differences between them. He did not start at the most expensive equipment, but asked my son a number of questions to ensure we got him the best equipment for his needs. As well, we were lined up outside at open, and I was pleased to see the attention to capacity and ensuring the right number of people were inside as per the guidelines. Every time I have shopped here I have received excellent customer service. Thank you!

Skier's has a lot of higher end stuff - it's not SportChek. And they have a great selection. If…read moreyou're a serious skier, you have to check this store out. Because they have some amazing stuff, prices can be a bit expensive. But you are paying for quality so it's worth it in the long run. They also have great sales throughout the year. And, unlike a lot of stores, they don't mark merchandise up just to take a few dollars off and call it a sale. When they have a sale, it's legit and it's great savings. The ski tech at this store is very knowledgeable and pretty friendly too. They also have a good selection of backpacks and outdoor clothing so it's not strictly for skiers (despite the name of the store). Great store!

This is a specific call-out to Abdula at Mud Sweat and Gears. He went over and above to help me…read morefigure out if I could add aero-bars to my e-bike. I I ride long distances on this bike and my hands get numb after a while and so wanted to add these aero-bars. The bars I bought last year from United Cycle wouldn't stay on though since the handle bar is not a uniform width. Abdula explored multiple options including new handlebars and ultimately discovered that there were ways to reconfigure the ones I had to make them work. He spent many hours messing around and researching options. In the end he figured it out and charged me only for the time to install them (as well as a gear fix that needed doing). Amazing service. Thank you.

They moved to a new grander location. The service work on the bikes is very good. The tune up on…read moremy bike was amazing and seems to be lasting. Wait times are weeks, so you need to book early. The place feels more upscale and they likely are paying higher rent. A basic bicycle tune up is now $150. And it doesn't include the wheels. A nearby bike shop is only $100. And they quoted replacement sprockets and chain would get me over $400 dollars. So this place seems expensive in my view. For that price I could just buy a new bike. Hippy types at the front counter in hoodies, wish they had clear identifiable work attire. Selection of bikes and accessories is good so I would go there for that but I would seek bike service elsewhere.

I love this place!

He asked if I wanted some assistance and because I'm no expert I was happy to get the help. Even something as simple as ski pants can be overwhelming with all the choices. I was in and out in less than a half hour. If I was on my own looking it would have been well over an hour. If you need ski or snowboard equipment this should definitely be one of your stops!

If someone is quite adamant about not selling me something and recommends to hold off on a purchase it helps me trust them!! They are not for the quick sale but high quality service. I asked for skis and some affordable boots and they showed me some boots from 2012 that fit very well. I didn't end up buying that day but am sure I'll return!

Went to the store to pick them up and the rude/arrogant manager said i'll have to wait for it to be shipped from Calgary?! I had my order number and email confirmation of sale and the staff there, who was literally holding the item I purchased, said I have to wait until it is shipped from Calgary. Are you serious buddy? I know you are your biggest fan but shake your head! Do not purchase anything from The Source if there is any other way to get it.

There was a disagreement between myself and my son regarding which board I was willing to put money out for, and the salesperson was obviously uncomfortable but politely indicated that he would be in another area while we fought it out. Once we moved onto the helmet section, he popped back over to see if we needed any help. I felt the service was pretty good, definitely friendly and the prices were slightly below the other over priced snowboard shops in town. I appreciated that it was brightly lit and a lot of space (I hate dark cramped stores!) I will definitely be checking them out next time we need to purchase more snowboarding equipment as they have it all. I was quickly looking at their jackets (I'm a mom who doesn't snowboard, so if they have a different name, you know what I mean) and they seemed reasonably priced compared to other snowboard companies.
