Excellent store. Shipped the order quickly. It was packed well. Love the jacket. Customer service is great!

Incredibly small gloves. Buy one or two sizes up. They seem to be well made but unlike other North Face gloves that I own of the same size it's all but impossible to get both gloves on, so I have no c... See more

We were at the Delaware county ski bum and were greeted by a rude manager who seemed to decide we were old and had to take his stuff. Poor service. I would not go there ever again

Outstanding Customer Service, High Quality Items

This was my third purchase from The Ski Bum in the past several months. The Atomic Savor Visor Helmet was the exact model my husband wanted for his birthday, and the price was well-over $100 less than the local ski shops! Because I had questions, I called customer service and Nick was outstanding! He provided advice about the sizing of the helmet, helped me to navigate shipping that would be quick, but affordable, and waited patiently while I sorted out the credit card payment over the phone to attempt to surprise the birthday boy! The delivery via the USPS was great! The helmet arrived in two days!
My husband now has a beautiful new ski jacket by Karbon that was over $100 less than advertised by other on-line retailers, and my very first purchase was his new Karbon ski pants that was made with guidance from another equally expert employee! We are thrilled to have found this great source for sports purchases. My husband is studying the skis available at theskibum.com as I write this! Fantastic customer service, high quality merchandise, and affordable pricing are hallmarks of this company!

Shipping

I paid for express shipping so that I could get my order before my ski trip and they did not arrive in time. I wish I had not paid for express shipping since I did not receive my order in the range of business days that I was promised. Very frustrating!

Horrible Experience. Will Never Shop there again.

I ordered ski pants online with the specification of picking them up in the store. SkiBum decided to ship them to me and they have yet to arrive 13 days later. I live less than 10 miles from the shop and tracking can't even give me an update as to where they are except somewhere in New Jersey. Ski Bum is in Delaware and I am in Maryland. I ordered them with store pickup because I am hard to fit and I knew that I'd need to try them on. I went to the store this weekend to inquire and just got a "sorry, we messed up" excuse. I then spent an hour trying on ski pants and know that the ones I ordered will not work for me when they finally do arrive and I'll have to go out of my way to return them either in person or by mail, which is why I ordered with in-store pickup to begin with. Not pleased at all with my Ski Bum experience.

Hi Sharon-Sorry you had a bad experience. Yes, we made a mistake and shipped the pants you requested to be picked up in store. We admitted we were wrong. Unfortunately, due to COVID and the holidays they are still in transit and there is nothing we can do to make them get to you any quicker. Once you receive them either give us a call (302-454-9829) or send me an email (customerservice@theskibum.com) and either I will personally come and pick up the pants from you, so you do not have to go out of your way. Or I can send you a pre-paid label to send them back to us. Sorry again, we did not mean to inconvenience you.

Gift for the new mama!

This order was a gift for our daughter in Nashville. She is a very discriminating shopper with a new baby and little extra time. It was a simple pleasure to use your website and send her this gift she had selected.

Great price and shipping cost

Great price and shipping cost, great follow up order status site with actual phone number that is answered by actual customer service, great customer service department and fast shipping. Altogether a great experience. Wish other order sites were like this.

Your site works fine

Your site works fine, easy to navigate. I tried to buy a top from Salomon’s website. It didn’t work. It was terrible, I gave up. I did a search of item and
found comparable item on your site for 40% less. I bought it.

Under Armour Jacket

I have been eyeing the Under Armour cold gear Latitude jacket for quite sometime but didn’t want to pay retail. Found it on sale here for 85! Very pleased. I mountaineer and have an expensive Arc’teryx jacket but I wanted something that didn’t look so sporty. This jacket is wonderful. It is heavier (compared to the Arc’teryx) but the Sherpa lining is amazing! And it keeps me warm. I love it! Receive plenty of compliments. It’s versatile. I can wear it casually, or my work scrubs or in professional attire
