    Got my first pro boot fitting from Doug today. Very nice guy. I'm not a racer and don't spend time reading or researching the latest ski equipment. Doug made me feel perfectly comfortable. I recommend for anyone wanting to take the next step with custom fitted boots and skis. Can't wait to try my new gear on the mountain.

    StartHaus is a very knowledgable boot fitter who was able to find and fit the best boots for my wide feet, high arches, and high instep. They work with everyone from new skiers to racers with the same focus, dedication, and commitment to great customer service. Highly recommended!

    Really great customer service and very knowledgable on the products they sell. They took the time to be sure my new boots not just fit but were fitted to me. Very highly recommended. Elena

    StartHaus is fantastic. Excellent selection of ski and bike gear, and the service is nonpareil. James did excellent work on my Scarpas. Looking forward to getting back out on them again, either on Shasta or next season.

    Start Haus is now an authorized Giant Bikes dealer? Awesome!
    Purchased a 2016 Giant Trance 2 from Start Haus (thanks Stan), bike is amazing.
    Entire staff is great! Special thanks to Jerod and Aaron for choice and setup recommendations.
    Lead mechanic Aaron is the real deal and was very helpful and patient when tuning the suspension to my liking.
    I ended up having an issue with the rear brake after a couple weeks, no problem, Aaron replaced the rear caliper on the house in 30 minutes right before closing time. Thanks Aaron!
    Great selection, great staff, great support.

    Start Haus for the win!
