When we opened this place, we had no idea how many amazing people we would meet, how many incredible places we would visit, and how many fond memories we would share.
Hell, we didn't even know if we'd make it through one winter.
Thank you,
Bill, Coral, Randy, Max, and the family at First Stop Board Barn
Hands down one of the best experiences I've had with rentals. They were incredibly accommodating, flexible, and helpful with my group (cabin trips can lead to rough mornings if y'all get what I mean). I also want to give out a special shout out to Kyle, who was not only incredibly helpful for demoing skis, but also took time in his day off to help me the following day. I don't know what more you can ask for in a ski shop - fair prices, great selection, highly attentive, and you can feel the care. Definitely a return customer!
Best ski shop in the state. The staff is super helpful and friendly. They are extremely knowledgeable about the gear and can make recommendation based on your skill level / needs. I bought boots from another shop that were all wrong for me and they helped me get much, much better boots, mold the new boots to my feet, and consign the other boots. I made a mistake in going to a big ski shop to buy the boots the first time around. Much better to buy the boots at First Stop. Their prices are also very competitive - I couldn't find a better deal online for the boots and goggles I bought. Highly recommend this shop for skis, boots, tuning, and gear.
Hands down the best ski shop I've ever entered. It's not an impersonal Dick's Sport Shop nor was it designed to be. It's a complete ski and bicycle shop with a complete retail and service setup. However, what really makes this shop stand head and shoulders above the competition is their customer service. From entry to exit, it was flawless. Absolutely, totally flawless experience...
I don't typically write reviews, but due to the outstanding service I felt compelled. We rented from First Stop Board Barn 3 consecutive weekends due to their fabulous service, seamless process, friendly atmosphere and awesome selection! These guys can't be beat!
Bill is by far the best boot fitter I have ever had. Shop has everything you could ever need to do alpine or touring skiing / snowboarding. I will definitely be back regularly.
I was up at KSR and had a massive brake failure, in desperation I called these guys and they helped me out. Now of course that is probably nothing new, bike shops help customers. But these guys and gals gave me real empathic help, they were kind, dealt with me running in during a frenzied state while getting ready for the race the next day and weren't stuck up or knew better or anything. Thank you all again, you really saved my race.
Yes, that's right we were awarded Bike Shop Of The Year - Gold Status not once, but twice by the National Bicycle Dealer Association.
