Hey Skiers and Riders! Here at SkiEssentials, our goal is to help you find the best gear. By best, we mean the best gear for YOU! We feel strongly that there is no such thing as the “best” ski or snowboard from an objective perspective. Everyone is different with different skiing and riding styles, different goals, we all live in different places, ski and ride at different mountains, and when you take all of that into consideration, it’s impossible to label a ski or board as “best” from a blanket perspective. We go to great lengths to give our customers the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. Between our Ski Tests, Chairlift Chat Reviews, and annual Ski Comparison Series, we strive to make it as easy as possible to make these choices.

We also love talking to everyone directly. We do our best to reply to every single comment we receive on our YouTube channel. A couple years ago, we added a Live Chat feature to our website. We are, however, always looking for more and better ways we can connect with our customers. With that said, we are proud to introduce our new Gear Finder! To start, we’re focusing on skis and snowboards, but our plan is to create more Gear Finders focused on clothing, accessories, and other types of equipment.

By completing the questionnaire below, you will be connected to one of our Customer Service agents directly. We have designed this form to give us all the important information we need to make our best recommendations. While you would likely end up at the same products if you used our Live Chat or asked questions in comments, this is intended to streamline the process so we are ready to make recommendations as soon as we hear from you.

Perhaps worth emphasizing, completing the form above does not connect you to AI that will select skis for you.You’re not going to get an immediate response or someone trying to sell you something right away.You are, however, going to get a thoughtful, well-informed response from one of our Customer Service Experts.Due to the nature of our business and the fact that these are true personal responses, it may take a few days for you to hear from us.Rest assured, we have your information and will be in touch ASAP.

In the meantime, as you’re waiting for a reply, take some time to browse our Ski Test (linked below).You can read feedback on certain skis from a whole bunch of different testers and start to formulate some ideas on your own of what you’d like to ski or ride.Maybe what you pick will align perfectly with what we recommend!Of course, we may have some other idea that you hadn’t yet considered too.As always, we strive to better serve our customers and provide you the best possible shopping experience on SkiEssentials.If you believe there is something that could be improved in our Gear Finder, we’d love to hear from you!
