We rented a pair of skis from here and the service was excellent. Excellent types of skis for rent and they also have some great ski gear and we bought a pair of boots for our son here who by the way has shoe size 13. Hard to find a fit for that size. The staff was knowledgable and very patient and kind.

When you think of a souvenir shop a tacky shop comes to mind selling mass produced rubbish. This shop however is a breath of fresh air selling lovely gifts made in Canada. The prices are not too high and the products are good quality. Definitely worth a visit.

We have been washing our hands so much more nowadays. The bar soap smells so good. We bought a variety of kinds. I also love the kitchen soap. The sales person was helpful. This time I also bought chapstick, a stick to take away the itch of mosquito bites, and some deodorant for a teenage boy. If it helps him to smell better they will have a customer for life. I also love that it is locally made with natural ingredients.
