When exactly are they gonna move. They dont say so on the website. I ask because I dropped my skis off right before the move (fuck me) and that was like a month ago and I want my skis back. I called like 2 weeks ago asking if they are done with my skis and they said wait two weeks. still in the old store. wtf

Pretty sure they're in Fremont for awhile. I live 3 blocks away. Drove by the new store today and the exterior is still being worked on. They just poured concrete.

So go get your skis and take them somewhere else. Why wait that long?

Good work.

If any shop takes longer than 4 or 5 days to mount your skis, even during the peak of "mounting season," take them somewhere else, or buddy up to a tech. It's not that hard to make friends at a ski shop. Even paying an "expedite fee" can be worth it if you are in a bind. Ultimately it's your call on what is a reasonable amount of time to have your skis sitting in the shop waiting to be mounted.

Unrelated, but I was also at Evo today, and I have to say that every time I make the drive out to the shop, I leave empty handed asking myself why I continue to go there. Fucking letdown.

This, I hate to say it, but true.  Never end up buying anything there.

Pretty much. I buy my stuff online from Evo, and then take it to the guys at Alpine X in Olympia, because they know their shit, are chill, and don't charge a ridiculous amount.

$25. But 2 hours round trip minimum is a lot for 25 bucks saved...

$10 saved. evo is $35 last time I checked (or less if you got your shit at evo or evo.com)
rest of the world is $50 and up (unless you get shit there).

Well shit. Olympia place sounds not worth it imo, unless they really do something special.
