Peterson’s Ski & Cycle

These guys help us out every year for ski rentals while skiing in the poconos. Kind and friendly staff help the experience go smoothly here. There rental prices are second to none in the area and especially compared to the high priced ski resorts. The rentals can be a little more updated though they work just fine. Thank you Peterson your the best in the area!!!

This place is pretty awesome and here is why. The people were very friendly and accommodating! Ski rental prices were dirt cheap at $ 16 with insurance!
At first the hours were alarming because they closed at 8pm on a Saturday and 6pm on a Sunday. It was alarming because if you went skiing in the evening, the slopes don’t shut down until 9pm-​10pm. But… there is nothing to be alarmed about because there is a drop box outside! Unlike other rental places, you must have your rentals back at a certain time. If your car battery was dead or other unforeseen problems would arise to delay you from returning your ski’s on time, you would be charged for another day and would have to drive back to the rental place to return them. With a drop box, you are golden and don’t feel pressed to return the equipment by a certain time. More skiing up to closing time, less worrying about ski returning time.
One minor problem I found was the GPS was not correct. It’s in fact, just a little further down the road than the GPS will tell you your destination is, so don’t panic.
Parking is in front of the building and we had no problems finding a parking spot. The building is almost next to a Wawa, so that’s what you will want to look for. I would recommend renting from this place rather than renting from your ski location.

A group of 6 of us stopped by here on our way to ski at Jack Frost Big Boulder. Rentals were $ 20 per person, saving us $ 16 each compared to on the mountain. The equipment was a good quality and the people were very helpful. They sell all other skiing accessories that you might need or may have forgotten. Rentals are 24 hours. It was only 5 minutes past the mountain, so it was definitely worth the savings. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

One of the ways that one knows when really good service has been provided is when, after the work has been done, as as one drives away, the conversation turns to discussing the person who helped you.
We took a couple of bikes to Peterson’s to get them serviced, and when we got there, the character who was on duty was clearly not only a super friendly extrovert of a nice guy, but also a cool bike nerd.
With just a glance he seemed to know everything about the bikes, both of which were vintage from the 80s, and gave us honest advise on what was needed to bring them up to safe riding condition. He also talked a lot about just about anything that the conversation went to, and soon we discovered that he’s training to be a 18-​wheeler truck driver…
But I digress…
On our next visit to the area — several weeks later — we came by to pick up the bikes, and of course this nice guy remembered us as if we were his best customers. The bikes were superbly re-​done and I was shocked at how inexpensive the labor and parts were.
I give this joint my highest possible recommendation.
