Guided Demo Experience
Sign up for a Guided Demo Experience and leave with 100% confidence that you have the right gear for you and your skiing style. The Guided Demo Experience is limited to two guests per guide, however any non-demoing family members are free to join the experience.
Your experience starts with an assessment from our team of experts at the Demo Center at Mountain Sports to help you pick the best ski or board for your style and abilities. First up, a biomechanical assessment to look at foot structure and shape. From there we'll find the perfect boot fit before we click into a few different models of demo skis to test out on the slopes. With over 90 skis available to try, we're sure to find the perfect fit.
Your guide will help you explore the mountain and show you the best spots to explore based on your skill level. This is not a lesson, but rather an opportunity to pick up a few tips to help boost your confidence and skills along the way, while also getting in sync with your new gear. After a couple of runs, your guide may make an equipment change based on observations and feedback.
From there, we'll put together the right setup for you with special attention to your boot fit. Your guide will help you pick the right boots to slide into, but we still recommend having a professional boot fitting, which can be done at Mountain Sports.

After your experience, you'll receive a $100 coupon to put towards a pair of skis or boots from Mountain Sports!
