I went in to get new ski boots for the season. I knew I needed a boot to patrol in and go in the backcountry with. The young woman, I never got her name, was extremely knowledgeable about the boots I was trying on. After doing an initial scan of my feet, she brought out some boots for me to try and knew which one I would want to buy in the end. She was kind enough to let me try on a bunch of boots as my knowledge was certainly lacking in how different manufactures make their boots. By the end of the session, she was doing an excellent job helping another person out along with me. I had tried on about 5 or six pairs and the pair I am buying is one of the first she brought out. She was knowledgeable about how boots should fit different parts of the foot and how to modify a boot for a good fit. I am really happy with the experience I had.
So very happy with Sports Den and JJ! My Volkyl powder skis needed new bindings and they made it all happen. I will always buy and rent my skis there. Also, they have great ski apparel there too.I have purchased a Kona Coco bike there too and very happy with it.
The only ski shop I go to in the Salt Lake City area. I’ve bought and rented skis as well as boots from here.The staff are highly knowledgeable and I worked with someone for over an hour to get the perfect boots and skis for my needs. 10/10 the people here are experts at their craft
Big store with great selection. Everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They were able to find me the exact ski boots I was looking for. The associate helping me was proactive and extremely helpful in getting the boots heat molded to my feet and fit to my ski bindings. Very best experience Ive had at a ski shop. Cant recommend this place enough!.
Great outdoor stuff. Winter to summer. Shoes to cycles to paddle boards to camp chairs to parkas etc etc
They have very knowledgeable, helpful employees and high-quality merchandise. Thank you.
Fantastic store and fantastic service. I got my skis/boots/bindings here 10 years ago. They gave me a great deal on fantastic gear. Knowledgeable and service oriented staff made it a breeze. One of my feet is slightly larger then the other and they customized it so that I had a great fit.Today I got my daughter a whole new setup and myself new boots. Once again fantastic experience and we love our new gear.This place has great value and great service. I will keep using them for my winter sports needs.
Cannot recommend Sports Den enough! Fabulous service from incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff. I felt so confident in purchasing new skis/boots/poles and am so impressed with how everything fits and feels. I have never owned comfortable ski boots until now - the custom fit was like magic 😍
Great local family-owned business in Foothill Village for decades. Fantastic service, gear, clothing, shoes and packs. They do a great job with ski tuning, boot fitting and rentals. We want to keep them around for another several decades!
I always try to go to Sports Den for new ski gear. The employees are knowledgeable about the gear. They are incredibly helpful with making a good decision, based on your performance goals.It can be really busy on weekends, but if you have a bit of patience you will be helped.
Gave me a free day of demo rental while my bindings were being remounted on my other skis! The guy in the shop told me they just wanted to make sure I got out on the slopes! Great service, the remounted bindings are working great!
Excellent boot fitting services. Completely worth it to, for the first time, have boots that fit my feet perfectly. I was told if anything needed to be adjusted I could come back in, but I havent needed to. Everything was spot on the first time.
Sports Den is the best! They are always helpful with advice on ski and bike gear and whatever else you might need for a myriad of activities! The staff is all super friendly and amazing to work with. I would 100% recommend Sports Den for all of your winter sports needs as well as all of your biking needs in the summer. They are awesome!
Came in to try and buy some boots, sat in the fitting area for 15 mins waiting to be helped. Ended up walking out the door and taking my money elsewhere.
Local first time ski boot buyer. Avery fitted me with amazing boots. Improved my skiing and changed the way I view ski boots. Staff has been super helpful whenever I go back with questions or to adjust boots. Top notch.
Great service and follow up from Curtis. He was super knowledgeable and made several nice accommodations.
These guys are very knowledgeable and professional. Curtis was so attentive to the perfect fit of my ski boots! Will come back again and again.
Curtis knows what he is doing! I went into the store as a walk-in, after going through four other boot fittings at other stores that just didnt get me there. Each seemed knowledgeable and helpful, but I just kept having issues with my fit. Curtis assessed my foot, my boot, my stance, and knew exactly what to do. He is all business, and still friendly and patient. My boots are a perfect fit and I enjoy every run. He is an asset and hes made a regular customer out of me and my family.Boot: Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 130 (2020)
We reserved and rented two pairs of skis. The man who rented us the skis was very friendly, but unfortunately we reserved performance skis and they did not have any available when we got there. I reserved the skis weeks in advance, so I would have expected some warning if they were out of the product. If they had better customer service, they would have offered a demo ski at the same price as the performance ski, but they did not. Instead, we walked out with their basic rental.
The staff here is really great and helpful. I got fitted for new boots and the guy helping me had a lot of knowledge and patience for getting the right boot fit and helped me learn how to prevent my feet from fatiguing so fast. They’re a great store with a wide variety of high quality gear and apparel, both ski and bike season.
Sports Den is the best Ski shop in the land. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Mark and Shelly, the owners, are always there and make you feel like family. They take great care to make sure you are happy with your purchase.Don’t waste your time online. Go to Sports Den and put the product in your hands and get expert advice.
Excellent service!! Great prices - and brand new, super clean equipment. Made our ski experience in the beautiful SLC resorts so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
I’ve been snowboarding for the last 20 years and wanted to get back into skiing. Went in and Curtis took good care of me. Got me into some sweet Fischer boots. My wife has bought alpine and touring setups there, happy with both. They do great work. Highly recommend.
I bought a new bike here and while their bike department isn’t “expansive” per se, the inventory they do have is all pretty choice (quality over quantity). Beyond finding a rad bike that was virtually impossible to find, they really went above and beyond helping me get set up and dialing it in. THEN when I had a (minor) issue on my first ride on it, I took it back and they took real good care of me. Guys in the bike shop are knowledgeable, friendly and good at what they do. Highly recommend.
Best place to buy ski boots in SLC and they have the best selection of skis as well.
Dropped skis off for a tune/wax. Expected a couple days. Very pleased when I got a text saying they were done one hour later. Excellent work.
Great place with great people who take pride in what they do. This is the only place I will take my skis for repair and tuning and the only place I will go for boot fitting. And the great thing is, you dont really pay any more for the service you receive.
I always bring the family up to make sure the skis fit and they have the right clothing so they will be warm up on the slopes. Excellent service. Highly recommended
Came here for my husband’s first pair of ski boots and had a fantastic experience (after visiting lots of other ski shops in Park City and SLC that did not even compare). We worked with Mark, who was such an expert and helped fit him in the perfect pair of boots. My husband said his first day on the slopes in the new boots was his best day of skiing to date! I’m a beginner and wasn’t ready to buy boots yet, but decided to get some custom foot beds to put in my rentals and, again, they took such good care of me. The shop is family owned and you can just tell they really care about their customers. We felt right at home! They even shared an awesome list of local restaurants with us. We have come back to Sports Den for all our equipment needs while in SLC... and I can’t imagine going anywhere else when I’m ready to buy boots for myself. Love, love, love!!!
For 16 years we’ve been coming to Sports Den to fit our entire family for skis. These guys are simply the best! Awesome service and product selection. It’s become a tradition - always fun. Thanks guys for always starting our ski season off well!
Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for ski boots. Everyone there knew what they were talking about & they fit boots incredibly well.
Best shop in the industry. Mark, Shelly and the entire Gardner family along with their employees are knowledgeable and super customer focused. Thank you!
Great all around ski shop. SportsDen carries the best brands in equipment and clothing. You can’t go wrong getting outfitted here. Great boot fitting too. Thanks Muskie!
Ive worked in a ski shop as a tech for five years, and have been an instructor for 10. Had some questions that were promptly and sufficiently addressed by the manager, Dan. After my experience with him, I would have no qualms about recommending this shop to any of my students or peers. Phenomenal customer service.
Musky is an exceptional boot fitter and his customer service was great. I never felt rushed and his commitment to making sure I had the best boot and fit was second to none. If I could give him 10 stars I would.
Curtis did a spectacular job of fitting me with ski boots, and even after he customized the fit for my weird feet, I still got our the door spending less than I anticipated. He was more interested in getting me into boots that fit right and were right for me than in selling me the most expensive pair he could. I will be back. They deserve the high rating they have.
Best ski shop in SLC! All of the staff is knowledgeable and helpful.
These guys were great. Knowledgeable, helpful and patient as my wife decided on new ski boots.
I drive 35 minutes to get to Sports Den whether it’s for new skis, boots, a pair of goggles, rentals, whatever... Yes, there are other stores closer to me, or online options, but the service I receive at Sports Den and the quality of what they carry cannot be matched. I love the in person interaction with the experts in the shop and the owners, Mark & Shelly. I have complete confidence in them on ski gear for my family.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Curtis and Mark,the owner, go the extra mile. Great clothing and hard goods selection. My favorite shop in SLC.
Mark and his team are always super helpful. Their team has more true expertise about what they’re selling than you can find almost anywhere. And they usually have better inventory too. Highly recommend!
Their ski repair and wax shop looks like a professional laboratory! They do amazing work here!
This has been my go-to ski and bike shop for almost a decade. They’ve always provided exceptional service and their selection and products are top notch. A special thanks to Tyler for loaning me a spare wheel while they were rebuilding my hub. As usual, the build was perfect and I was back on the trails in no time!
If you are in Salt Lake and need a good ski boot fitting or a wide array of ski equipment options, Sports Den is the place. They also have an awesome clothing offering that shows they are dedicated to providing their customers options that you cant find elsewhere.One of the staples in the Sale Lake ski scene.
Absolutely amazing service! Love the owners! I’ve been shopping there since I was a kid. Nowhere else I would go for great gift ideas and the best ski gear.
This is a local business with world class staff and merchandise. They always do extra things to make each customer’s experience better.
Sports Den is what you hope for in a specialty sports store. They are professionals who use the gear themselves and can provide solid advice about the products they offer. The service and support at Sports Den sets them apart from so many large sporting goods retailers, who are simply trying to unload product. The folks at Sports Den know what they are taking about - the way a true sporting goods store should be.
Holy smokes. I am delayed in posting this review. The Sports Den staff have been simply incredible. I have come in over the past year with issues with my ski boots and mountain bike. Their staff are knowledgable, kind, and incredibly timely. In both instances they helped me fix my gear quickly and affordably so I could get back on the mountain. They even went above and beyond to match the cables to my bike. Really a stellar team. I highly suggest going for any service you may need done. I know I will certainly be going back!
If youre into biking or skiing or just want to browse the best new gear for next season the boys at sparts den are the best! I came in with a flat after work and needed to get home quick, Curtis helped me out in no time and had me back on the road. Highly recommended 👍
Avery is very helpful and patient. I went for my old boot fitting. She took time and made sure of getting the job done under my budget. Definitely will come back in the future.
I come to the Sports Den every time for all my skiing needs. Best customer service & love the seasonal rentals for my growing children. Great equipment, great selection of gear. Thank you
My go-to shop in Salt Lake. Bought some bindings and they were perfectly mounted in a short time frame during one of the busiest weeks of the season. They have previously done work on skis for me and their prices and quality have always been solid.
Bent over backwards to accommodate us and was pleasant in all aspects of buying new E bikes. So happy that my husband didn’t just buy a bike he bought me a bike as well.. And they delivered them to our home🌟5🌟 thank you Sport Den. Definitely will use you guys again
I was floored at how courteous, fast, and reasonably-priced they were! I went to mount some tele bindings and was shot-down by 6 other businesses (even REI) who stated they couldnt because they wouldnt buy a jig to fit the tele-pattern on the bindings. Kevin at Sports Den told me, I have that jig at home and Ill bring it in for you. The mounting was less than itd have been elsewhere and they threw in a free wax too, and finished in a week. I will be back, and they have my business from now on!
Just bought new ski boots today with Curtis. He took the time to get the perfect fit for my oddly sized feet. He knows what hes talking. Thanks Curtis!!
The sales reps are very knowledgeable and friendly. We have been coming since the kids were little for our seasonal ski rentals. This year my daughter got her first pair of ski boots. We will keep coming back
Sports Den has always had the best service. Their staff is the most knowledgeable and helpful in town. There have been many situations where I know they could have sold me a product that was more expensive but instead they sold me something that best suited for me. I have also wandered to other ski shops and had to come back to get the correct product from Sports Den. Can’t say enough about how great a shop it is. Mark and Shelly are the best!
Great selection. Top quality gear. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff.
They were prompt, courteous and efficient. They special ordered exactly what I wanted and it arrived timely. I have shopped at this store since it was founded and have always found them to be very helpful and their product to be excellent.
Sports Den has been our winter sporting good store of choice ever since my kids started alpine ski racing over 10 years ago.
I bought a pair of high performance Fischer RC4 boots from The Sports Den late last season. I knew the boot I wanted and didnt ask for fitting advice, after all its a vacuum boot right. Ugh, the boot was precise, but totally uncomfortable. A couple days ago I went back, hat in hand, and asked for a proper fitting. It took two visits, a re-vacuuming and a liner cutting but today was bliss. I could not be happier!
The folks at sports den were wonderful - they all made sure we were completely comfortable with how our purchase ( an electric bike ) worked - we felt well served. They gave us an invitation to come back for one free tune up - due to the nature of the bike chain stretching
Curtis and Mark were very helpful and friendly. I had some questions about skis/boots/bindings and they gave me great advice and helped me get the right gear I’ve been wanting for a long time! Friendly staff with great customer service! I will be back there soon!
Every time I shop here Im amazed at the level of customer service displayed compared to other ski shops in the valley. Theyre a step above anywhere else Ive been.
Fantastic store with excellent selection and customer service, but a 50% increase in snow show rental prices is a bit of a bummer!
The team at Sports Den was so supportive. I’ve been taking my bike and my daughters’ bikes for seasonal tuneups each year and just purchased my kids’ adult mountain bikes today. They allowed us to test ride without any sales pressure and Tyler the technician shared candid and helpful opinions, which I appreciated, and didn’t try to up sell. They even put the bikes on hold for us while we made our decision.
The staff at The Sports Den were amazing . They found the exact extra items I needed for the bike I had my heart set on. They gave me several options taking my needs into account. They were extremely helpful. They were never pushy. They took the time to order my bike and extras even though it was close to closing time. I will have no problem giving them my business in the future.
I absolutely love the Sports Den they’re extremely helpful. They have things other stores won’t have, and do what others won’t either. It’s obviously a family run sporting good store and I appreciate all they do for the community. If you’ve never been to the Sports Den you should check it out If you’ve never been to the Sportsden you should check it out.
This is the best place to buy sports apparel and ski/bike equipment. Always very helpful and friendly people working there. They have very high quality brands so you can always trust you’ll get something awesome. I come here for all of my outdoor stuff
Was interested in demoing a specific bike. When I got there, it was out 😥So I chatted with the sales guy a bit about it. As I was leaving the bike came back, and they scrambled to clean it and run through it so I could take it out for a ride! Even gave me a discount for the bike not being super clean. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks!
Sports Den is there best!! They know their stuff and are willing to take the time to help you get what you need.
Mike in ski boots is by far the best boot fitter I have ever had a pleasure of dealing with. Mike was able to diagnose the issues that no other boot fitter has ever mentioned to me. Not only was he able to diagnose them, but provided immediate solutions. A wealth of expert and honest advice shared generously. Buying boots at Den Sports was one of the highlights of my trip to Salt Lake City. I would highly recommend this store to anyone!
Sports Den is the best place to get ski gear and clothing in the West. Friendly, knowledgable staff and fair prices make shopping there a great experience.
The Sports Den is a premier sporting goods store located in the popular Foothill village center. Their forte is skiing, equipment and accessories. They also have a great ski selection and shop. The clothing and shoes are the BEST! I am usually very lucky to fing very expensive clothing and shoes at a deep discount. For sporting goods youll find all you need here!!
Took the time to read my feet and fit ski boots accordingly. Not many businesses today take the time to ensure a great fit with the right gear. Good old fashioned customer service.
By far the best place to buy ski gear in the salt lake valley. Best gear. Best knowledge. Best service.
Had to bring a piece of gear in on warranty. Tyler and his shop mate helped me immediately and got me squared away better then any other shop in the valley. Went beyond to help me out and keep me skiing! Very happy I stoped in! And happy to have a new shop. Highly recommended. Thanks guys!
As always, Sports Den is our #1 choice for buying technical gear. Curtis went out of his way to make our mtn bike purchase a great experience. Thanks again to all the pros at Sports Den!
Seriously this store is amazing. They are so knowledgeable about the gear and nobody stands behind their products better. Sports Den customer for life!
Super helpful staff!! I was looking for a specific bike and they texted with me about what was available and answered my questions before I made the trip to their store. Once there, they were very attentive, showed me all the options, and I came away with exactly what I wanted. Would absolutely purchase from again.
Love shopping at Sports Den! They have the best staff - very helpful and so friendly. They carry great stuff and they take excellent care of their customers.
I love sports den and have been a loyal customer for years. The ski staff is tip top. However the store is hard to visit now because of their practices around covid. I was there twice lately to drop off my skis for start of season tuning and then to pick up. On both occasions, staff members were either wearing their masks below noses or just not at all. Come on people, you are ambassadors for the ski life and should do better to convey to tourists and locals alike that Slc and ski folks are taking Covid seriously. Very disappointed and likely to take my skis elsewhere and that makes me really sad.
Sports den is the best in the business when it comes to working on ski’s and ski boots. Ski boot technology has changed so much over the years and a correct fitting boot is the most important thing when it comes to performing and enjoying a day on the mountain and sports den will get you taken care of! Yes, you will pay retail prices for your boots (most of the time), but the boot fitting and adjustments that come with the boot will outweigh the extra cost you may pay upfront. They will take care of you when you buy the boots and after to help make any needed adjustments. Other places will charge you per adjustment and for the initial custom fittings.
Great customer service with my boot fitting. Knowledgeable staff.
I’ve been coming to the sports den for over 20 years and the service keeps getting better. They have the best gear and a knowledgeable staff. They helped my nieces and nephews with rentals and the kids love the gear. It was a perfect fit! Well done and keep up the great service.
The staff at Sports Den are very knowledgeable and happy to help. I appreciate their guidance and recommendations in regard to ski racing equipment and will definitely shop here in the future.
This is the place. The best ski shop here or anywhere. The boot fitting is over the top. My son purchased boots with Muskie, 1st time fit on the mountain and he is happy and pain free In His new boots.Everything and everyone here gives you the confidence that you are in the right place.Mark, Mike, JJ and all the rest of the crew are great. Keep it up as you have for decades.
Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and keenly insightful with his intense love for skiing. We love Sports Den for it’s unique Utah vibe. Everything about this store is what we love about our local community. They have a great selection of unique apparel and gifts. Do yourself a favor and swing by, you won’t be disappointed!!
Excellent ski advice. Mike and other staff members know the details of all types of ski interests. They helped me understand the mechanics of boots, skis, and bindings to fit my style and ability. I received good advice with low pressure. I will return again and refer my friends.
Sports Den is the best ski and sporting goods store in Utah. Mark Gardner and his staff are fantastic. Very friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. I bought a full set up of skis, boots, and bindings and they took great care of me patiently answering all of my questions. When you shop there you can count on the fact that you are in good hands and you are dealing with employees who know their products. Mike Thorpe is amazing! Extremely helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. I have watched him handle multiple customers simultaneously with ease and great efficiency. This is the store you need to visit for all of your ski and sporting good needs.
Best ski shop in SLC. Avery was great boot fitting, very helpful! Curtis was great with my bindings.
I had the greatest experience shopping for new ski boots at Sports Den! They came highly recommended to me by a friend, and I got to see why. They listened to what I was looking for, used their high-tech machines to measure my feet, and selected boots within my fit and price range for me to try on. They were friendly and patient all along the way.I had shopped at REI for ski boots prior to Sports Den, and did not have nearly as much attention in my boot selection as I was able to have here- this kind of customer service seems reserved for the smaller companies like Sports Den. I’ll be going back for my bike needs come spring.These guys have my business loyalty.Shout out to the two gentlemen who helped me- Cordy (I think?) and another fine gentleman who seemed to be in a management position (it’s on me for forgetting names!)Check this place out.
Great experience working with Curtis. My wife has been struggling for years to find a solution to her boot pain. 3 previous attempts at finding the right boot. Curtis was patient and attentive to her issues and ultimately landed her in the right boot. My wife told me on our way home that she finally feels encouraged that she will be able to progress as a skier and enjoy pain free.
Best retail experience Ive had in many years! Mike helped me with new skis, boots and bindings. Clearly cared about my needs and patiently answered every question I had. The Sports Den has all the latest technology and experienced experts to translate it all into a top notch experience! Thank you!
While at an out of state race at Snowbird, my son had some boot buckles break in the middle of the trip. We visited three shops and got some a little help at one of them, but mostly all we got were blank stares. We were running out of options when we finally arrived at Sports Den. Not only were they able to help us, they immediately understood our situation and had empathy for how passionate a competitive teenage ski racer can be and how vital high performance gear is to their sport. They were the only shop we could find that had both the knowledge and the spare parts in stock to help us. They were kind and attentive and kept letting us know they were working on it. We didnt care, as long as it was fixed by morning! While we were waiting, we watched a few other customers get the same treatment and leave happy. From rental through top end race gear, the shop team delivered! This shop is head and shoulders above the ones in my home town. Alpine race gear is specialized and there is not much retail demand for it, a lot of shops steer clear. These guys had the gear and know about the sport. That is rare. Thanks for supporting Alpine Racing, Sports Den!
Dan was incredibly helpful and knowledgable regarding the work I had done on my skis. Definitely recommend Sports Den for all your ski needs!
Great friendly staff! Best in utah for outdoor gear!
Amazing shop and amazing service. I went to get my Fischer boots vacuum fitted and get custom footbeds put in. Musky helped me out and was incredibly knowledgeable. I’m new to skiing and he made sure that everything fit perfectly to my unique feet. Pricing was great and I left my skis for a tuneup, too.I’d highly recommend Sports Den for equipment, boot fitting, and service.
