"Ski and snowboard season is upon us, and Sport Chalet is dedicated to getting skiers and snowboarders on the slopes with the right gear to maximize their experiences," said Sport Chalet Expert Paul Smedley. "Our in-house Experts and services ensure our customers' gear is in top-notch shape when hitting the mountain, whether they're tackling the bunny hill or the Double Black Diamond Trail."

To start the season off right, Smedley highlights a top five list of this year's hottest ski and snowboard equipment and apparel available at Sport Chalet:

• Nike Vapen X BOA Men's and Women's Snowboard Boot—Inspired by the Morgan Mid 2 shoe, this boot is sleek and stylish with lightweight Phylon foam that delivers cushioning for softer landings and maximum comfort.
• Rossignol Soul 7 Ski—This revolutionary ski is a fusion of backcountry, freestyle and freeride performance. It is the most versatile freeride ski designed by Rossignol. The new design prevents "tip flap" and provides fatigue-free maneuverability and instant speed control.
• Lib Tech TRS Snowboard—The TRS Snowboard helps users effortlessly glide down the mountain. Its directional twin shape has lengthened camber under foot for increased end-to-end stability, pop and tip-to-tail edge contact in firm snow.
• Analog Men's Zenith Jacket—This jacket subtly adapts to individual needs. It is waterproof and breathable, adjustable in many places, has fully taped seams, and even provides storage so users can take essentials with them on the slopes.
• Burton Women's AK 2L Embark Jacket—This go-to jacket provides supreme warmth and waterproofing. Its strategically designed insulation and lining system optimizes body temperatures, breathability and mobility.

Maintenance, Rental and Specialty Services

In addition to equipment, Sport Chalet has in-house Snow Techs who are certified to perform maintenance service on all ski and snowboard gear, including mounting, waxing and a range of tune-ups, with its state-of-the-art Wintersteiger Tuning Machines. Customers who purchase a snowboard or skis at Sport Chalet receive a free snowboard or ski tune-up card, which includes factory finish ceramic edging, base flattening and structuring, detuning and waxing, p-texting and two-hand waxes. Sport Chalet also offers complimentary boot fittings by its Snow Techs for up to one year after purchase. Skiers and snowboarders can receive custom orthotics for their boots at an additional price as well.
