We'll definitely rent from them again if we are back in the area!

We rented a pair of Trek Domane's and took them out for multiple days of 7+ hour rides without any mechanical issues on every climb in the area. You pay for what you get; the service on the bikes and the fact that the shop takes care to maintain their equipment made the difference for us.

So that was nice that we didn't have to worry about it the morning of. They actually ended up delivering it to our hotel free of charge! We came into the shop, which is conveniently located in downtown and we were the only ones in there. So getting fit was easy and a friendly experience. They were super patient with my kids and we ended up adding helmets for me and my wife. I would highly recommend this company as it was great service at a low price.

Rented for 2 days here. Great, top quality gear. Very friendly staff in the rental shop…read more Problem: my boots were too tight and I couldn't ski after a half day. It had been a while since I rented so my feet have changed a bit. Not their fault. I was skiing at Lake Louise which is 40-minutes away. In order to ski, I would have had to drive 40-minutes, change boots, refit the skis, then drive back to the hill, pay $140 for a lift ticket after losing a couple of hours. So, just decided to skip the ski day. Returned early afternoon in the second day, explained the situation and asked if they could refund the second day or, at worst, give me store credit. They said, "No, we can't tell if you skied on them today." It was a bit insulting that they pretty much called me a liar (but, I do get it, it is a business concern and I tried to not take it personally - they don't know me). But yes, you can tell if I skied on them. The skis, poles and boots were bone dry. It is impossible to get skis bone dry in 2-hours. I used to work for a rental store. Along with that, we wouldn't hesitate to give the refund. I tried to meet them in the middle where I would buy something I didn't need from the store just so I could get some value, but nope. It also wasn't because I didn't want to ski, the equipment wasn't operable for me. So, in short, they were ok. If you want to rent there, ok, there are positives. My issue is my issue. I had a problem and couldn't ski. They made a business decision and I thought they handled it very poorly. So, in exchange for $20, they get a negative review and hurt their Yelp score.

We were visiting Banff as a family, eager to ski at Sunshine and the team helped equip us and gave us great advice and helped make sure we received excellent value. In addition, sadly we had a family emergency during our trip and had to cut our trip short, and the team at Adventure Hub was so helpful, understanding, and humane - they helped credit us for some unused days of equipment and could not have been more kind and caring and communicative. Everyone we worked with was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, a great listener and knew how to resolve all of our issues. Banff was great, Sunshine Village was fun and challenging to ski at, and we cannot thank the team at Adventure Hub enough! 5-star experience.

The Fairmont concierge recommended the ebike to Johnston Canyon with White Mountain Adventures…read more I've never been on an ebike and always wanted to try one so I was game. There were 6 members of our group and we meet at the White Mountain Adventures office in town. Four of us started off on the ebikes while the other 2 drove to Johnston Canyon and hiked first...and then rode the bikes home. Luke from Australia was the guide for the 4 of us who started off on the ebikes. We did a little test run around a nearby parking lot to make sure we could handle the bikes, although he assured us if we could ride a bike we could be OK. At first i found it a little tricky because it was a little scary how the bike would just take off, but as the ride went on I got more comfortable. I found myself lagging behind the group at first and Luke would nicely come join me. Once I asked what gear everyone was on (6) and adjusted min to be the same I was keeping up with no issues. I actually loved the bike ride. You definitely don't get as much exercise as you do on a normal bike, but i think this 15 mile hilly trip would have been too much for me on normal bike...and it was perfectly enjoyable on a ebike. We also stopped about every 10-15 minutes to take in the beautiful scenery and get some pics. It took about 90 minutes to get to Johnston Canyon and I was a little bummed when the ebike adventure was over. My husband and I were such fans that we talked about buying them for our annual vacations in Sun Valley, Idaho- another place where it is so fun to bike, but can be difficult with all the hilly terrain. The hike itself was probably my least favorite hike that we did in Lake Louise and Banff. Luke was a great guide and the canyon itself was beautiful, but it was sooo crowded which made it less enjoyable. It was also pretty easy in comparison to some of the other hikes we did on the trip (tunnel mountain, agnes tea house). But if you're looking for an easy hike with little incline and don't mind the crowds this is recommended. I don't recommend parking though since it's super crowded so rent a ebike to get there! We were lucky enough to be with White Mountain Adventures so they had a van waiting for us after our hike to get us back to town. I would have loved to e-bike back, but we had our next adventure waiting (a trip up the gondola) so driving back was super convenient. While we could have easily rented an ebike on our own I do think it was helpful to have Luke get us there safely, especially since we were riding along the highway for quite a bit of it. It was also great to hear about Luke's adventures living in Banff and learn a little more about the area from him. While I didn't love the hike itself I thought the company did a great job and it was one of my favorite activities of our trip.
