The staff there actually knows what they are talking about. It was nice because I had never been on a snowboard when I bought my board. But they advised me something good and not too expensive. And it really worked at well even when I reached an advanced level.
I bought my snowboard and boots there before the season started they had a good sale that apparently they do every year a week before the start of the season. I got my gear for a really good price in the exchange rental section. Everything lasted for the whole season. They heat mold the boots for free as well. And if you buy skis and binding they mount the bindings for free.
One of my glove broke on the second day. They exchanged it straight away no questions asked even though the glove was bought on sale. I bought a backpack at the retail store at the lake Louise ski resort and a part of it broke the same week. I went to the retail store and they said they couldn't help. I went to Wilson they contacted manufacturer and got me something to replace it. So WilsonLake Louise ski resort retail store.
I also rented x-country skis there a couple times 25$/day. Really happy with the skis I was given. I just wish they would do half day rentals as well as full day....
Read morePicking a bike rental is not a time for optimism and idealist thinking; it is time for a very conservative estimation of your fitness level.
I am a fairly fit person, and I cycle (stationary bike) 1x per week. But in high elevation, with mostly uphills all around, do yourself a favor and GET THE E-BIKES.
Our group picked the normal Mountain Bikes and I couldn't even make it half way to Moraine Lake. I grew up riding bikes, but keep in mind these are large, heavy mountain bikes (I'd estimate 60lbs) - that's a lot to be hauling uphill with you. After giving up on seeing Moraine Lake via bike, I tried to bike to Lake Louise - which is also entirely uphill from the shop. Saw the lake, and thankfully it was all downhill to coast back to the store.
Low stars don't reflect on the staff at the store, or their many offerings. Purely my experience, absolutely struggling to pedal and even when walking needing to push the heavy bike up the road.
Trust me, you'd rather make it easier on yourself (and your family) and say "oh, I could've done it on the regular mountain bike" than find out the hard way that you absolutely...
Read moreWent there to rent skis for a single day and it was probably the best experience in terms of rentals I’ve ever had.
I do want to thank the three people that aided the experience. 1. The guy who was from Ontario 2. The pretty girl with the dark hair from Toronto. And one girl who recommended us to rent from the shop (owned a Taylor swift hoddie)
The people there, especially the man from Ontario was excellent and possessed superb knowledge of skis, snowboards and the boots to go with. He fitted myself and my family and the boots just worked, there wasn’t a long process thats usually associated with rentals. However, most importantly, the rentals were all of the highest quality. New skis, poles and boots, but they weren’t the over used and uncared for rentals you usually get. And to top it off it was around $70 to for skis, poles, boots which for me has been the cheapest rentals I’ve ever seen.
If you’re ever in lake Louise and want to experience the mountain or if you’re there for a period of time I highly...
