Crystal Ski Shop – Boulder, Colorado

Freshies, Gnar POW, Cold Smoke, the white and fluffy…. whatever you call it, we’re finally getting it.  Lot’s of snow came this weekend and it’s coming down again. Grab your snorkel and get your self some face shots.

What a great weekend.  After a little bit of a dry spell, the clouds made up for it, and then some.  I’ve been here my whole life and I don’t recall Eldora running out of parking (could have happened, I just don’t remember it).  If you were lucky enough to get in on Saturday, you got some of the best conditions so far this season.  I was able to sneak in a few turns on Sunday and was thrilled to see how much more of the mountain is open.

Our Demo ski line got some rave reviews on the fresh snow.  Make sure to ask about our high end line next time you stop by, we’d be happy to show you our selection.

If you have some rock dings and scrapes on your equipment, now is great time to get it fixed so you’re ready for the next dump.  Nobody can do it better for cheaper, so get them in early.

Cool nights, early sunsets, and the smell of melted wax in the back shop.  Yup, winter is coming!  It’s been a great summer, but here at Crystal’s we’re chomping at the bit for a little taste of that “cold smoke.”   We’re talking about that freshy-powder folks.  It’s why we all live here, after all.

It’s time to dust off the sticks and bring them in for a tune-up.  Have you had your bindings checked?  Maybe you stored your gear without wax?  You didn’t dare store them outside, did you?  Let us give them a little TLC.  Your skis know.

We have a huge inventory of seasonal rental equipment for you as well.  We’ve got a great selection of well tuned and maintained skis and boards for kids and adults.

Lastly, all previous season merchandise is 50% off right now.  Quantities are limited, so hurry in.

Our October hours are 9am-6pm Saturday and Sunday and 12pm-6pm Monday through Friday.  Come in and visit us, and pray for snow.

Lawrence about to drop in on Keystone's Outback Peak

Lawrence and Justin got to enjoy a day trying out the new Rossignol S3 and Avenger 82 demo skis at Keystone in the early part of January. So far 2011 has been cold, but it’s keeping the snow soft and fluffy. Most early season obstacles are covered now and the resorts have all their terrain open, so now is a great time to get your equipment tuned or pick up some rentals and enjoy the wonderful skiing conditions. Snowshoeing and Cross-Country skiing has been great in the front range the past couple of weeks too. No matter how you prefer to enjoy the Colorado winter, now is the time. After all, this is why you are in Colorado!

Snow is in the forecast and the clouds are forming over Boulder! Some of the ski areas are open for the season, which makes now a great time to get your skis and snowboards tuned up and ready for the slopes. Come chat with our expert hands-on tuners about our custom tuning options.

We still have plenty of seasonal rentals available, but they are going fast. Come in now while we have a good selection of sport package skis, high end ‘demo’ skis, kids skis, and snowboards.
