We rented skis her for my wife on our recent SLC ski trip. Will and Jake (guy with a beard) were excellent and caring in getting the right stuff and setting for my wife. Jake also provided excellent feedback about where to ski and what he liked from his experiences. We were so happy with the shop (as we had to stop in for other things during the trip) that we got my wife outfitted for all her own gear plus a boot and ski carrier. The prices this time of year are great as they are trying to blow out the current model inventory. We also had her boots customer fitted by Mitch - hes damn good at his job and was really patient getting the right fit for her. He knows his stuff for sure, another customer came in complaining about his custom job while we were there from the Snowbird location and he knew exactly what his issue was and fixed him as well. Kevin the ski tech who mounted the bindings was outstanding as well. This will be our ski shop moving forward, Ive always used the Lift House in the past (they are good but the people at Christys are the difference). Well done!

We came to Utah on vacation from California and were running tight on time because we forgot about the hour time difference. When we realized that this rental place was going to close by the time we got there we called and Will H. the rental supervisor answered the phone. He was very pleasant to talk to and you could tell he had the customers best interests in mind. He decided because it would be a hassle for us tomorrow morning to get in and rent gear then head up to the mountains that he would stay open later. By the time got there it was about 15 min past closing and it couldnt have been more than 10 after that before we were out and on the road again. Not only is the customer service fantastic but the gear there was the best Ive ever gotten from a rental place. I will definitely come back every time Im in the area.

Before I start my annual trip up Little Cottonwood I stop in to Christy Sports to rent/buy gear. The staff are so passionate about skiing, they always know what skis and clothing are going to make or break our day - and since they ski most days of the week they know the conditions and exactly what gear and wax type we are going to need. What I really love is that they never talk down to me like the flat lander that I really am! They are always courteous and respectful and take my needs seriously. I may not be hucking off any cliffs but they still treat me like a fellow skier. They seem to always remember us and also always know the best bars/restaurants. Great place right on the way to all the best resorts, super staff and reasonable prices. Keep up the good work crew!

The service I received here was pretty excellent. If you have a choice in who helps you "Will" is really great. He spent quite a bit of time on us getting our boots fitted and I have never had such a comfortable fit in rented ski boots before. We had reserved online to get a discount and due to the poor snow conditions he actually talked us into taking the cheaper ski packages and thus saving us money. Due to the lack of powder, the cheaper skis worked out just fine. I also really liked that they sold discounted ski lift tickets at the counter and this allowed us to save some time/money vs having to buy them at the resort. Equipment returns were also quite rapid and straightforward. I would definitely try this place again.

Needed to upgrade my skis and was overwhelmed by the amount of information / reviews on the web. Cortney was extremely helpful. I rented multiple skis including a pair they had in stock at Snowbird. Based on my research I thought that I would prefer one brand. But heres where experience won out - after trying them all one of Cortneys recommendations was much better for me - including her recommendation on sizing. No pressure on the sales side - she wanted to make sure I would be happy with whatever I chose. Rental fees were applied to the purchase price which ended up being very competitive. And the wax job was terrific! I recommend this store highly and will be a repeat customer.

I lost a screw on a K2 binding in Brighton and needed help. Christy is one of three K2 dealers in Utah. They had NO K2 parts whatsoever and proceeded attempting to sell me a flow binding for $300 bucks. I guess if renting your equipment is your thing, this may be your store but if whatever you bought needs parts or service, they are lost. Very frustrating experience. Dude just wondered off during discussion. Why would a K2 dealer of record for decades have no parts whatsoever? I can buy this stuff online but I cant get it serviced online but apparently, I cant get it serviced by brick and mortar either.

We utilize Christy Sports rentals for our annual ski trip. The staff and management has always treated us very well and made sure we were satisfied with the equipment we received. We have also purchased a snowboard, bindings and various other accessories to make our days on the slopes more enjoyable. The staff is always helpful in pointing us in the right direction, recommending the best items for our needs and budget. Christy Sports is always the first stop we make when we get into town! Cant wait to see the smiling faces at Wasatch Blvd. in a few months!

Mounted my skis with the wrong jig and dishonestly tried to hide it with stickers. As a former shop employee, I noticed immediately. The shop tech mouthed off and offered me a free tune, like I would ever want him touching my skis again. After a couple days of use the mount ripped out in the middle of a ski tour. They tried to remedy the situation several times, but I just ended up with a bunch of broken promises from the manager and missed ski days. I expect better, which is why I will always go just about anywhere else.

We flew into SLC this week and we reserved a snowboard and a ski package at Christy Sports for several days. Staff was courteous, equipment was excellent and location was perfect to grab some gear off I-80 before heading to Park City . . . or up to Snowbird and/or Alta. Also there is a Einsteins Bagel next door . . . . breakfast, coffee and ski/board rental . . . Excellent!!! We found out later you can drop the gear off (or pick up) at Park City Resort location. Blake and Will were awesome! Thank you guys!

I had good service when I went to try on gear, but when I went to pick it up after making a reservation, they didnt have the size boot I reserved. And the guy "helping" me didnt seem too concerned either, suggesting that maybe I hadnt tried on a size 10 before and that it really doesnt matter what size boot I get. They were willing to refund my money for the product they couldnt deliver, but did nothing else to make up for wasting my time and failing to deliver on the contract.
