A couple of years ago I bought Rossignol X-ium "skin-skis" from Northbound, after a lot of discussion and a "test drive" to be sure 203cm was the answer and these specific skis were the key. Used these skis to finish ski marathons in Austria, Switzerland, Iceland, Estonia, Finland and Argentina...... Great staff; professionally-knowledgeable and expert tuners. Highly recommended.

Skis, boards, swag, birks..you name it. On top of the array of various accoutrement, the owners Michelle and Casey were so warm, helpful and knowledgeable. Michelle consulted with me about some Birkenstocks. Casey gave me a fitting and Michelle scoured the stock room and then gave me her card and was super casual and conversational throughout. She offered to custom order and provided me a decent time frame. Sunglasses, boards, shirts and the birks were all reasonably priced. This store offers everything for a true, upnorth experience.

We didn't realize how expensive they got up too but we were still getting it just so we could fish.

Many "newbies" and aficionados will appreciate the variety Dale and Scott provide in their products and their service is top notch! Looking forward to my next trip up at the end of the month - keep up the great work - it is very much appreciated!
