Not Ski-Mart

Not all ski shops are created equal. The way I see it, there are basically two kinds of places to buy skis. You can buy skis or boards at your local sporting goods mega store, where the skis and boards get lost in a sea of athletic cups and power bait. On the flip side, you can buy from a dedicated ski and board shop.

There is no doubt that the mega retailer provides a good price. But that’s all you get. You can’t expect great ski knowledge from the kid that may have to go sell a sports bra in 5 minutes. So you grab a ski from the wall, take it to the register; pay your money the deal is done. You may never see that guy again (unless you need to buy a new Frisbee in the spring).
Up here at the Beav we are not that kind of shop. We pride ourselves on providing complete buying experience for our customers. Here is our plan to do that:
1.We won’t feed you full of marketing hype. You don’t need a 3-hour lecture on external ski dampening systems. You also don’t need a salesman who just makes up what he or she doesn’t know. We promise that we wont pump you full of B.S.
2. Try before you buy. Retail prices on skis are usually around $1000 dollars. With an investment of that size you need to be sure the product you buy is the one you love. You will have no buyer’s remorse after you demo 4 or 5 skis and find the one that works for you.. If you decided to buy from us we will apply up to $50 in rental fees to the purchase of the ski.
3. When you buy from the Beaver Mountain Ski Shop, we will wax your ski for as long as you own it for FREE.
I’ve tried for a long time now to come up with a catchy slogan that could describe our ski shop. You know… stuff like “skis you can believe in” or “Have it you’re way.” Frankly, that’s just not us. We aren’t advertisers or salesmen. We are passionate skiers and boarders who want to share the world’s best gear with you.
Pray for snow!
