Upon arriving we were treated like family within a few minutes by son was trying bikes, we were getting good information and within about 30 minutes we had selected a bike. I feel confident this mere 30 minutes will launch a lifetime change for my child. Look forward to our next visit and the memories made here forward. They were very clear on warranty, price, product and life expectancies. They also agreed to do a one over with my son so he can learn the right way.!!

I read a review from a dissatisfied customer about new tires, but shops do not make huge profits on them, so profit likely wasn't the motive. As with car tires, it's wise to proactively replace bike tires even if you're unsure. I trust these professionals and am grateful to have reliable local mechanics at a time when their numbers are declining. We would certainly be at a loss without The Bike Smith!

I will always take my bike here for service and/or repair and have already recommended them to other friends with bikes.

However, if you're in need of a repair or maintenance, expect to be without your bike for a few weeks, regardless of the job. It seems like they only have one technician, and every time I've been in, he's been in the back--probably where the repairs are done. So, while it's a good spot for parts and accessories to support a local business, it's probably not the best option if you need repairs done in a timely manner.

Being that I was so excited I couldn't wait. I landed on this shop and I'm sure happy I did. The guys there were very friendly and knowledgeable about their craft. They had a few bikes in front of mine and said on (Tuesday) they have it ready before the weekend. My bike was ready a day and a half later. Which was awesome! They offer the best hourly rate and the task took only one to complete. I'm beyond happy with their service. I highly recommend them.

My wife bought new boots, not at this store, and had problems with the fit. Brent bent over backwards to help her out and after several adjustments over multiple visits they now fit her perfectly. He is one of those boot fitting geniuses, that the Tahoe area needs. I have talked to him multiple times about skis and bindings and he really knows his stuff. If you need any help with ski equipment, or skiing, he is also a youth team coach, Brent is your man. Blue zone is lucky to have him.

Prior to the 2024/2025 Season, I had not skied for maybe 25 years? I don't remember why I stopped…read morethis personally enjoyable sport, other that family and professional obligations probably filled up the timescape. After moving to Genoa in late 2020, it took awhile to direct my attention to skiing in general and Heavenly in particular. That happened through a combination of conversations with friends, a good deal on an EPIC Tahoe Value Pass, and realizing that it was about 20 minutes from the House to Heavenly's Boulder Lodge Parking. As far as the Skis, bindings, and boots went, I opted for a season-long rental package through BlueZone Sports in Carson City. I had to buy the poles separately and I already had Helmet, Goggles, and Ski Bib in hand. I ended up with Fischer RC Fire (165) skis with RS9 bindings, and Dalbello Vantage 4F Boots. Looking back on the season, I think that was a good combination, lacking any frame of reference to what might have been better. I went out to Heavenly 8 times during the season, which wasn't a lot, but was a good start, largely on groomed Blue slopes. I'll definitely be out next year and probably with purchased equipment. The BlueZone Sports shop at Lake Tahoe has a Labor Day sale for previous model skis and demos, so we'll see what happens. I was happy with the service that BlueZone provided at both the beginning and end of the ski season. I particularly appreciated the patience shown to this "old guy" as he initially ventured forth and then finished up with a great deal of Alpine satisfaction.

The views are EXCEPTIONAL and out of this world. Trail: The path itself takes 1.5 hrs to the end and back, and there are out of the world spots along the trail to snap photos or take breaks at. The first 1/3 or so of the trail is actually on the streets/highway leading to the lake itself. It's pretty safe even with cars--just be mindful of traffic. Also be mindful of foot traffic on the trail, with kids, dogs, other bikes, etc. Bikes: Highly recommend the e-bikes. They're top notch, give a good workout, but also help immensely with the uphill climbs, which there are many of. Only drawback is that there aren't any bikes for shorter girlies like myself, or at least there weren't when we dropped by. Price: Great value for all bikes. There's also a group discount of like 10% if your group has 5 or more which was a nice touch. Overall very friendly for non-frequent bikers like myself and athletic folks alike! THANK YOU Vista Trail Bikes for an unforgettable and exhilarating experience! Had such a blast with my group thanks to this shop, and hope to return in a future excursion to the lake!
