I'm a frequent shopper.. Purchased some Hoka's back in November- but one side started ripping - so I returned and purchased another On shoes.. Surprisingly they did not fit.. (yet I have four pairs that are the same size and fit).. go figure- Returned them and started browsing in store.. Just my luck- found a nice On pair- I like these because it's really not messy on the upper.. Noticed an email on the Rei app about the new On Cloudsurfer 2 trail running-.. Wow- those are ones I just got..! Comfy and decided to wear them today..

I was here for the "exclusive" locals sale last Saturday and came away with a pair of demo…read moreDeathwish Skis at $399. I wanted made in the USA skis in general, and local ones in particular. I also added a pair of Solomon bindings (20% off), with a future discounted boot purchase somewhere on the horizon. When that's done, I'll bring them all back for Moment staff to mount the bindings and adjust the settings. That part and how they ski for me next season may be the subject of a future update. Last season was my first in over 25 years. I enjoyed myself enough at Heavenly (the Boulder parking lot is 20 minutes from my house in Genoa) that I figured that I could financially do better with my own equipment rather than rentals. Of course, I lot has changed equipment-wise in all that time, and I appreciated the friendly and patient Moment staff giving me concise sizing and model advice that I could use and trust immediately. When I arrived just before 10 AM, there was already a line into the demo tent, including folks who were here a lot earlier. After maybe a 20 minute wait, I arrived with previously obtained model and size information (via email and inside) written down. The guy helping me had a couple options, and after weighing the features, I made my choice. As a Senior Intermediate skier (think groomed blue), I'm sure I was outclassed by many of the downhillers here, but Moment staff quickly put me at ease. The background music, plus free foot longs, chips, and sparking water was a nice bonus.

Best experience fitting new plug ski boots ever!…read more Moment ski boot-fitting shop has ability to perform all types of high-level custom work like footbeds, punches, grinding, lateral and fore/aft alignment, and even calf width and forward lean modifications. During the assessment process I was actually able to describe my technique improvement goals to Reid and he translated them to modifications that needed to be done to my boots. There was absolutely no marketing hype, just very personalized recommendations based on deep technical understanding of different skiing techniques. Highly recommend, especially for racers, ski instructors, and other people looking for continuous improvement.

I don't usually write an update so soon, but after today's (3/12/26) amazing event, I just had to!!…read moreI am sure you can tell from my excess photos, we shop here too often... We are very loyal customers. Quality/Quantity - Here for the Wax and Watch event DIG. My first time and what an amazing event. Fundraising for so many nonprofits, see pictures. Also sponsored by Fifty Fifty Brewing Co; I had a few too many beers, too good of a time. I also found out about Fifty's Grand opening at RPM, which we also supported and attended the next day, see other Yelp Review. Non alcoholic drinks were also available. Too lazy to have brought our equipment for the wax. Plus Mt Rose gives us each 4 free waxes that I rarely use up. Raffle - We did NOT win. Atmosphere - Clean and organized location. Love the NV art on the side of the building/in the parking lot. Cool! See pictures. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 7pm and on Sundays from 10am to 6pm. Small parking lot, but because we came in off peak (weird) hours, it is rarely an issue for us. And today we got lucky as the lot was full but a car gave us his space. Service - The team is so welcoming and friendly. This is the #1 reason we are loyal customers. Events available - See website. Again, my first but NOT last time that I will attend an event. We will probably come back Sunday for the Mt Rose Passholder Spring Sale. Price - Expensive, but worth the quality, service, and culture. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1973. And thank you for also giving 1% to not-for-profit workers "to defend the earth." And having programs that raise awareness of environmental and social issues. My favorite program is Worn Wear. You can either sell Patagonia your used clothes or trade them in so they can fix it. I believe that reusing is better than recycling. Furthermore, they give you credit ranging from $15 to $150.

Great customer service!…read more I appreciate the recycling philosophy and I want to be a patron to businesses that support a reduce, reuse and recycle model. Well laid out with plenty of equipment! I got exactly what I needed for what I felt was a fair price. I especially appreciated the hours of operation. I was able to go by after work. I had planned to browse and price compare, then go to REÍ and Sportsman's Warehouse. Gear Hut had just what I needed that would work for me. Support local, and support conservation!

Scheels is the mother of all sporting good stores. They seriously have everything. Even a cafe!…read more I wandered around for over an hour in a stupor. They have sporting goods, an aquarium, a Ferris wheel, animatronic presidents, stuffed animals and more! I think there's something for just about everyone at this store. Even a small grocery section with things like coffee and snacks! I stopped at the cafe and ordered a salad for $10.00. It was fresh, crisp, and had a bunch of bright red strawberries on top. Afterward, I bought some beef sticks, for only $1.00 each. What a deal. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

All of the employees here are incredibly friendly and helpful, must be a nice work environment, and you can't forget the icing on the cake of military discount off EVERYTHING!!!! For the size of this store, maybe the most shocking part is the prices, not only is nothing hiked up, most of the time stuff here is considerably cheaper then other places in Reno. LOVE IT!

They carry the following: sunglasses, shoes, clothing, ski and snowboard equipment, bikes (both electric and regular), camping gear, etc. Rentals also available.

Semi private small parking lot, but there is plenty of parking in the mall. Service - 5 stars, greeted and thanked on our way in and out. Price - Expensive, but that is the cost for quality products. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2014 with your 6 locations and this location opening in November of 2023. How is it that we have never been here before???

We were staying in Reno & wanted to take a tour to Lake Tahoe. Jim was an excellent tour guide. We…read moregot wsy more than we expected. He toured Reno, Donner Lake, Lake Tahoe, & a few other areas of special interest. He was very informative & knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour & would highly recommend.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!! TIM IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE & LEAD US INTO A DANGEROUS CONSTRUCTION ZONE…read moreWITH HIGH WATER & STRONG CURRENTS! This should be negative stars. My aunt booked a trip for a river float for my cousin's birthday. There were about 10 of us. The guide, Tim, was completely incompetent, rude, & overall just creepy with the things he said. He kept singing songs about smoking in the morning and getting drunk at night. He also told us an inappropriate story about how he found a guy "jerking off in a crawl space". Aside from the inappropriate comments/ stories, there were multiple signs telling us to exit the river because there was a construction zone ahead. We asked Tim multiple times if we should be getting out soon because the signs were telling us to. He ignored all of us and just kept us floating. We passed by 3 warning signs telling us to get out of the river and we were seeing other people floating get out where the signs were. Then there was one last sign saying "Emergency River Exit Here" and people hanging out by the right side of the river telling us "get out now!" But Tim still just says nothing. Luckily, a random girl hanging out by the water decides to try to stop our group so we can try to get out safely before entering the construction zone but then she got swept away with the current & 4 others in our group and she almost drowned. We told Tim, "this girl is drowning & she needs help!" and he said, "well she's not apart of our group so she's not our problem" as she was visibly almost drowning and literally gasping for help. Luckily, she was able to grab onto my brother's tube and they held onto a branch for at least 10 minutes. One of the group members who successfully got out before the construction zone threw down a life jacket for the girl but she and my brother were still stuck on the opposite side of the river against a concrete wall IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE WHERE WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE. Me, my husband and my dad got swept further down into the construction zone and then finally, at the last minute, Tim says, "get out now!!" as we're already in a complete danger zone. So we all try to get off to the left side of the river as fast as we can to get out. His exit strategy was to grab onto a rock or branch as quick as we could so we didn't go into the rapids and diverted river area. Luckily, we all got out in time but we were literally in an enclosed fenced/ locked construction zone and had to pry ourselves through the fenced area to get out. We had to walk back to the office and tried to talk to Tim & get a refund and he says, "I don't have any money. I'm a terrible person and I want to die. I should just kill myself." (Which is a great thing you want to hear from your "tour guide"). We were also supposed to get a "lunch and drinks" after our float. We were given warm beers in a bag, NO LUNCH and left alone outside on the patio. We walked out of the office after Tim was being suicidal and crazy & he eventually locked himself in the office so we weren't able to talk to him anymore. We were stuck outside wondering how we're going to get back to our hotel because there was no one outside to give us any information. We HAD TO PAY TO GET AN UBER BACK TO OUR HOTEL because Tim would not communicate with us. We also talked to the owner, Jim and he called us liars and didn't believe any of this happened. Can't make this stuff up. Craziest experience I've ever had with any type of "tour guide". During the float, Tim also called a girl in our group "retarded" because she fell off her tube and had a hard time getting back on through the rapids. He was also yelling at her for falling off and said "you shouldn't have let go!" DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR OR ANYTHING WITH THIS COMPANY!! YOU CAN EASILY (& FREELY/ MORE SAFELY) FLOAT THIS RIVER ON YOUR OWN!!! Save yourself the money and headache. WE DID NOT GET REFUNDED EVEN AFTER HAVING TO CLIMB OUT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE!!!! The most unprofessional and UNSAFE experience! Here is a link to a video that shows the construction area Tim lead us into: https://www.rgj.com/videos/news/2025/06/06/the-truckee-river-is-diverted-as-construction-continues-on-the-arlington-avenue-bridge-project/84079962007/ In the video they say, "One of the things we are encouraging the public to be aware of is; as the river is currently diverted, the south side of this channel is going to be HIGHER and FASTER. So we are telling people NOT to use the river recreationally in that time because of the SPEED and DEPTH." Attached are some photos from the video link that show the exact location we floated past into the construction area and shows the "EMERGENCY RIVER EXIT" sign that Tim floated us past!!
