I was really excited to purchase a merino wool pullover from East Slope Outfitters in Big Sky Town…read moreCenter. It was performing well, so I went back the next day and purchased a second one. Unfortunately, the first pullover started developing pulls almost immediately. One particularly long pull in the front snagged on something as minor as my cuticle--something that shouldn't even be possible. I also noticed additional pulls on the back, even though I had been careful with it. When I went into the store to discuss the issue, an employee was empathetic and directed me to the manager. However, the manager--a brunette helping a customer with ski goggles--was completely dismissive. When I explained the situation, she responded with, "Oh, it must have pulled on something." I acknowledged that it caught on my nail, but I was shocked that such an expensive pullover would be so fragile. Rather than offering any assistance or even engaging in a conversation about product quality, she quickly shut it down, saying they couldn't do anything since I had already had it for a few days. For a store selling high-end outdoor gear, I expected better durability and customer support. Spending around $130, I at least hoped for a discussion about quality assurance or a possible exchange. Instead, I was met with indifference. It felt like they cater more to tourists passing through than to customers who actually care about their purchases. If you're looking for durable gear from a store that stands behind its products, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Best ski shop I've ever been to. My snowboard had a gash in the sidewall and a broken edge.

When I picked up the board, they had not only performed the previously discussed repairs, but they also did a bunch of p-tex work on the base and a wax, and still charged me the previously agreed upon price. I'll definitely be back here next time I need tuning work done.

This week, we returned to the Surefoot store (this time in Big Sky Montana) and had an exceptionally good experience. My wife got new boots and the technician there made multiple adjustments to a pair of boots that I had acquired about three years ago. The fit is critical as I have undergone 13 surgeries in the past 10 years to replace and revise (2-4X) both ankles. Couldn't be happier with the service we received and the entire staff here in Big Sky!

You'd expect it to be outrageous but it wasn't in the least. They walked through options and didn't push anything. Prices were great. They knew their equipment. Friendly and charming. Super cool.

Garrett was the first person to help me who was super friendly and very patient and tried different types until we found something decently comfortable. I ended up coming back and having to get a size down which Ashley helped me with. The next day I was having shinbang and came back for an adjustment. Taylor put some foam things on the shins to make it more comfortable but it still wasn't so he got me a different boot that had pressure in different places and felt better. Ashley helped me with the skis for this new boot. Very appreciative of the attention and kindness of the staff at this location. :)
