What about near Portland?

 

Great question. A few years, ago when Sam Bennetts (sp?) was still open, I would say Mike Atch was the best (where is Atch now?). Currently, in PDX I am happily impressed by Neal's work at US Outdoor.

 

Any other PDX shoppes we should know about?

 

PS - it typically comes to the tech, not the shop.

I second Pro SKi, they seem to really understand the need to get the skis turned around quickly. You can usually get some good beta from those guys as well.

props to pro ski. those guys actually ski ... outside of the boundary lines. ;-)

I've had less than stellar service at ProSki

 

They botched a dynafit mount job on a pair of my skis

 

They've botched a tele binding mount for a roommate of mine (actually mounted the bindings 3" apart from one another when comparing the two skis)

 

They've called me before to tell me a tune job was done...I've driven across town to pick up the boards only to find that no work at all had been done...they said they'd tune them quickly...but then a buddy of their came into the shop and his skis moved to the front of the queue...and I waited for over an hour.

 

yeah, they're nice enough guys, but the quality control has been lacking in my experience....

Hey Snaffle, where those experiences at the ProSki in Seattle, or North Bend? Martin Volken sold the Seattle store. I've only had great service at the North Bend shop, but no experience with the one in Seattle.

[Snafflecock]

sorry 'bout that, i should have mentoned which store.

 

all my experiences were with the shop on Aurora....the dynafit screw-up was last season, the forgotten tune-up and tele botch were two years ago.
