Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Good service experience - Sail and Ski Chester

I think it's frequently the case that we hear about the bad things so here's something good.

Sail and Ski - phoned them: 'do you have the 157 scott black majics which are on your website?' 'Yes...' 'Can I have them with Salomon Wardens please' 'Yes' - exchanged details of boot sole etc. 'They will be with you tomorrow'. 'What? You are in Chester and I am in Cambridge'. Yes, but I'll get them done and couriered right now' 'Many thanks' And indeed they were there the next day.

Month later - 'Could I have some more Black Majics but in 167 please' 'Yes' - and then exactly the same high quality service.

Then more tricky 'I have some completely trashed ancient Bliss K2 snowboard bindings, any chance of a new set of ankle and toe straps?' - 'Not sure, I will contact K2, could be a problem - can you text a photo through?'. A few days later, an email 'They will be 32.50...'. Now, spare parts make the retailer almost nothing. They are a pain to source. The hassle is not really worth it for them. But here, just entirely straightforward, and a nice pair of bindings back in action.

Excellent. Well done Sail and Ski. And thanks David H.

Have used them a couple of times and always had excellent service. It's good to hear these stories.

Had some really good service off them a while ago where they sold me the boots I needed and not the boots I thought I needed, excellent company....

Just to join the general S& S love in...

Got some buoyancy aid stuff from them and they were great.

Always had excellent service at their Shrewsbury shop. Unfortunately I obviously didn't spend enough as it's now closed. snowHead

In the spirit of the OP's credit where it's due approach - I was also rather pleased with them.

No rush when trying on every pair of the snowboard boots in the shop to find which best fit me, then no problem at all when I came to swap them for another pair on finding a minor but annoying manufacturing fault.

+1 for S&S. Service has been brilliant. Happy to source special order items even when we were unsure of sizing with no obligation to keep them. Ski servicing is great and a far more pleasant experience than some of the usual suspects proclaiming to be specialist winter sports shops. worth travelling for.
