Deep Powder House

Already intimiated by their reputation. The staff weren’t overly friendly or smily but sold me the best boots on the market ! Their choice of demo skis was appalling and the skis were awful… But I managed to get a decent pair after a day of nearly killing myself ! They were very knowledgable but for some reason didn’t share their knowledge! Actually the whole of Alta had that attitude that they are the best, they know it and are too good to be nice or helpful to newbies !!! Made me feel like I didn’t have a right to ski there ! It’s not often I lose my confidence but the shitty attitude at Alta definitely made a dent! Deep powder house deserves 5 stars but lose 2 for attitude …
Ski snowbird !!! Can’t say how awesome and friendly they are just over the ridge!

I could have demo’ed skis from Deep Powder House as part of my ski package at Alta Lodge, but since I already have skis that I *adore* but desperately needed to do something about my packed-​out ski boots, I concentrated on that item.
The bootfitter spent a lot of time helping me select a pair of Rossignol boots which fit me better out of the box than the seven year old pair I was thinking of ditching. I could have been happy with those … for a year or two, until the liners began to pack out again. I continued to look around, and found a pair based on newer technology with another ski shop.
I ended up renting boots from Deep Powder House for just one day to tide me over. What a relief! The bruises on my shins appreciated having boots that didn’t slosh around on my feet.
Deep Powder House is not known so much for boot fitting as for ski demo-​ing and purchasing. Very close to Alta Lodge, so it’s convenient for people staying there, and there are often special arrangements for Alta Lodge guests over at Deep Powder House during ski camps.
Oh, and how could I forget? They tuned and waxed our skis for us overnight. So convenient when you’re staying at nearby Alta Lodge!

Bought some demo skis from them (their shop near Alta Lodge) towards the end of the 2014 season, after demoing them. When they arrived, there was an unanticipated problem with them. I was impressed that they really worked and solved the problem in a reasonable manner with minimal hassle. I contrast this with my experience a number of years back when I bought some demo skis from one of the ski shops in Snowbird (don’t remember which). This sort of customer-​friendly service gets 5 stars any day in my book!

The new store is like WOW!

Ski boots are your most important piece of equipment. My previous pair of ski boots were Lange GX-9’s (bright orange) purchased at a ski shop in Boulder, CO in 1998 from «that boot guy»… everyone in Boulder knew him as the go-​to guy…
That’s the kind of place this place is… they take your ski boot fitting seriously. And where else to get your ski boots than at a skiers only mountain… Zo, custom fit me and was extremely helpful. He really knew what he was talking about and was genuinely interested in seeing that I got the best ski boots for me, as each persons feet are different etc… If you are unhappy in your ski boots, your ski experience is unhappy.
This is a «go-to“place for ski boots.
Highly, highly recommended.
Ask for Zo.
***Note***
This shop is located at the base of Alta Ski Resort adjacent to the Collins Chair Lift.

A nice local ski shop that’s convenient if you’re headed up to or coming back from Alta or Snowbird. They have everything a resort shop carries Adan their sales and service staff are very friendly. I would rate them as one of the best resort shops I’ve been to in Utah. Check out their end of season specials in April and May for some even better deals!
