My family and I went in yesterday to get fit for season pass ski rentals. The two gentlemen helping us were so friendly and knowledgeable. Made it fun for our two kiddos, super patient and helpful for my husband who has two different sized feet, and made the entire process efficient and pleasant! Thank you! We're so excited to ski this season! read more

I bought some touring gear here. The person that helped me was unwilling to share his actual knowledge of ski gear and sold me on expensive used gear that was too big. I expressed my concerns of my inexperience, but he insisted this was the set up I should buy. He mentioned cutting me a deal for the used gear but when we got to the counter he brought out skins that had now glue left and said I will throw these in for free. Don't go here. They will swindle you and they have no return options read more

Good prices and prompt shipping. Not the widest inventory but if you can find what you need then you'll do well.

Everyone was super friendly and made the process of getting new ski gear far easier than I could have imagined. I'm brand new to skiing and didn't really know what I needed. They listened to my goals and budget and had me fully geared up with boots that feel like I'm walking on clouds and new ski/bindings that should help me learn and progress for years to come. I couldn't recommend their shop more, especially if you need a boot fit. read more

I had a great experience at the new boots annex. The service is excellent! They really take the time to insure a great fit. The staff are pros, not timps. read more

These guys are very friendly and they have everything you could think of for a day on the slopes...from boots to clothes to protective gear and high-tech avalanche safety stuff. They also rent snow pants, which a lot of sports equipment rental places don't. When we checked out the options in Bellingham and along the way to Mt. Baker, Glacier Ski Shop had everything we needed and was also a perfect pit-stop on the 1hr + drive to the Mt. Baker Ski Area. read more

Glacier Ski Shop - Ski & Snowboard Shops Near Me - Glacier, Washington

Ordered a set of boots online. Was nervous about purchasing boots without trying them on. The staff was helpful and answered all my emails. The boots worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Glacier Ski Shop the service is over the top. read more

Went in to the shop today to rent a full ski set up for the weekend. The owner refused to rent before 3pm. He stated that his system wasn't set up for that until 3pm because I could take the skis up to mount baker and pay half price lift tickets and that I would have to pay for an extra rental day. I was perfectly happy to pay for an extra day so I didn't have to come back after 3pm or first thing when they open. Will not be spending money here and will advise my many out of state friends against it as well. read more

We can't say enough good things about Marsha, as well as Dustin and JP. They helped us with AT ski and boot rentals for a group headed up to Baker this past weekend. They were so friendly with our whole group Saturday morning, getting us through in a quick fashion, so we could hit the powder fast. The efficiency continued when we returned the gear on Sunday night, and we will 100% for sure rent from them when our Intro to Backcountry trip rolls around next winter, too. Thank you! read more

Best rental shop we've used in years. Fast efficient even for family of 4 and the gear was great. Rented cross country gear. Friendly smiley staff who knew there stuff and played good music too. Being able to return following morning a plus too read more

My son is 14 bought a Marker Clark helmet here & used it 3 times and it cracked. He took it back & they refused to replace it claiming that he'd cracked himself by being careless. He's a great rider, didn't fall hard, and kept the helmet in a bag in his room (he saved his money and paid for it). The shop's response was to give him a sticker to cover up the crack. Pathetic service, was it because he was 14 and couldn't advocate for himself. He (we) will never shop there again, and we buy lots of gear. You could have had a customer for life. read more

Been in a few times to pick up some basics and rent snowshoes and skis as we own a cabin in Glacier and have never been impressed. I went in to see if I could borrow a screwdriver for 15 min as I had a door jammed at my cabin (a mile away). After being questioned what it was for by the guy behind the counter, offering up my DL, and my reason being evaluated, the guy leaning on the counter literally said, "Um, yeah... No tools leave the premises..." Plenty of other places to rent in Bellingham or even up at Baker. read more

The Ski Shop gets 4 stars just for having an awesome fence made out of old skis.

We have been customers for 3 years now; kids season rentals, skis for my wife and daughter. These guys know Baker and the equipment needed. We are very happy with all their advice and great deals on equipment. Recently I bent a ski pole that I purchased there and they straightened it out no charge. Thanks Joe! read more

Quick, uncrowded spot with friendly staff! We were in and out in 20 minutes. It is super worth it to rent gear on the way to the mountain rather than taking the time once you're there. Plus, the prices were really reasonable. I spent $15 renting boots only and they were never-worn $400 retail. Highly recommend! read more

We stopped in the shop to pick up some things and to seek help for my daughters bindings. We support small business owners and would prefer to pay a margin to help local communities. The guys around the shop were stellar and very helpful (they are the only reason for the 1 star). We were fitting pucks on an empty counter when the owner came over and was extremely rude. He told us to move out of the way and his approach could/should have been a lot more humane and patient. His tone was comparable to a nasty parent scolding his child who ignored his first 5 attempts to get their attention. He was ostracizing his employee for being so helpful to us. He is a grade A - mountain fed jerk. I am sure he is a washed up mountain king who was never taught any manners. We went in the store looking for help and to buy other products. I will NEVER spend another dime in that place. News flash - customer service will lead to prosperity, which is the only thing you have left to keep your ego fed!!! What a piece of work. Stop somewhere else unless you are lucky enough to have the owner stay home, so he can stand out of the way of his helpful staff. read more

These guys know their stuff. They do hours of product testing and can recommend the gear that you will love! Thanks John and Drew! Cheers!, Buck Brown read more

The service was excellent - helpful and knowledgeable. Rented snowboard boots for my son at an affordable daily rate. Easy rental policy. Definitely will rent from here next time we're back! read more

We've rented snowshoes and also purchased a couple of pairs. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. As well as providing rental and new dear they are also very helpful with suggesting a suitable location for the days activities based on the people in the group and the weather conditions. read more

Yea...my advice is to rent from backcountry essentials in Bellingham. You may think you are saving time by cutting up to glacier but you aren't. These guys aren't gonna get anything done any faster and often times are stand off-ish. I used to bring guests from out of town there but finally quit when a number of my friends called me out on it...no bueno read more
