Performance Ski

I love this store because the clothes are great IF you are going super high end and chic. The staff is quirky and cool and as for the owners, Lee is a master stylist, Tom is adorable and knows all about skis as a former downhill racer. That being said it is NOT for everyone. If you are touchy about having people bow to you or want department store style service, this is not the place. Also note the new address is in fact 614 E. Durant Ave, but basically next door to the old location.

I live in the Aspen area. I purchased an expensive pair of ski pants from Performance. I skied in them four days total. At the end of the fourth day, I took a minor fall. The pants split completely open across the upper leg. There is clearly a problem with the construction of the pants. When I returned to Performance, I was told by the owner that I should duct tape the pants back together. She said that there was nothing she could do for me. She then offered to have her husband duct tape the pants back together. So, if you think that standing behind your product means offering free duct tape, this is the shop for you. If not, then I would suggest you visit one of the other many fine ski shops in Aspen that actually stand behind the products they sell. I know that I will not be visiting this store again.

Love the clothes, hate the service. If you plan to spend less than $ 1K on a piece of ski clothing, don’t expect to be taken care of at all.

This is the coolest shop in Aspen!!! The owners Lee and Tom are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They have the best clothes and equipment.

Great shop for designer ski wear. My husband and I rented our skis from downstairs as well. They were super friendly and knowledgable. If I didn’t like the skis after a while they offered to bring me new skis to try out and meet me at the lift. Great service and equipment!
