Peak Ski & Board

After the other Peak’s in Monroeville told me I could come in for a boot fitting when their boot fitter was out of town (see that review), I ended up coming to this location. This one was a significant improvement, at least for the boot fitting aspect. The professional boot fitter was very helpful in helping me get fitted and find a good boot for me and was willing to answer any questions and explain the various considerations. He also seemed to have a good intuitive sense for how to size someone up. He gave me a great combo deal when I decided to purchase boots and through in a discount, some ski poles, and a rental of skiis for the rest of the season. He also said I could come in to get the boots adjusted if needed (which may or may not be an additional charge depending on the extent). However, they also had no rental gear available, despite their website’s claim! So he called the Monroeville location and set aside a pair of skiis for me that would work for my height and boots and level. Not sure where they came from since when I was at the Monroeville location they barely had any rental equipment at all. I went back to the other location to get the skiis that were there, but they weren’t the correct ones to work with my boots that I purchased so I had to wait while they drilled some holes in the skiis so they could be adjusted for my boots, but at least they were able to do that while I waited (see other review for Monroeville). So overall I had a great experience with the boot fitting, but wish the rental options were more plentiful and flexible. I really want to buy skiis next year but I’d be much more comfortable in such an expensive investment if I had an option to try out a few different types of skiis first but there were no options available other than the standard ones they gave me, which are pretty much just like the rentals I’ve already been using and nothing special. It was also a little frustrating to have to go back in forth since each location is 20 – 30 min away from me in opposite directions. But I finally got all my gear for this season.
