Reviews of Snowmania

D. f.

Excellent service. Very friendly and helpful. It is great to be able to hire equipment for the season and they will change boots at no extra cost if a child's feet grow.

T. W.

Absolutely great service, prices, and range! Andy spent a good length of time showing us all the options for new gear, and wasn't pushing us into anything. We walked away very happy customers, with some excellent snow gear. Already taken it for a spin, and loving it. Cheers for going over and above, mate!

C. S.

Where do I start?!? We have been going to Snowmania for years!! The staff there are all knowledgeable and very helpful. My kids started snowboarding since 4&5 years of age and we get all their kit from here. They are so patient with anyone and friendly to all. Totally recommend for both beginners to experts. 🖐️ 5 stars.

We had season rentals. Then my wife damaged her ACL(not skiing). We had only used the skies twice, the guy at snow mania had a lot of empathy for the situation and gave a very good refund on the season rentals. Thanks, hopefully be back next season.

M. S.

Very friendly on the phone & very knowledgeable sizing us up for skis. The seasonal rental was $9 cheaper than their competitor. Great shop!

D. J.

Really awesome service here. The whole team was patient, helpful and offered great advice for us as first-timers going to the mountain. Fitting procedure was well managed, and then when we went to pick everything up the night prior to our skifield trip it was all ready to go...making the process totally painless. We were able to make it back before their closing time, and the team was lovely and friendly as we returned our gear. A very whole hearted recommendation for anybody that wants to go skiing - the very friendly hire rates make these folk real standouts!

S. O.

Very good prices for rental gear. I hired a pair of boots, skis and a jacket. Friendly service from Fergus. Also convenient being opened until 7pm to return after the day up the mountain. Will definitely hire again!

S. S.

Great service, heaps different gear, lots of choices. Got my ski clothes from there, very happy with quality and prices, strongly recommended this one. A bit small space for all this gear, but everything you need is there...🤙

D. R.

The attention to the public quite good. The store is medium in size, but a bit disorganized. They do not have top material, almost everything is medium and low range. It is a store focused for beginners and medium skiers. The price is very good, quite competitive. Skis for rent expert level, are not top, but they are quite good for the value for money. In general I am happy.

T. L.

Superb service, patience, passion and professional like no others!

J. Z.

Such a shame! All three stars are for the price, products and the place it used to be. ZERO star for the staff. We used to come to this place every year when it was run by nice people who liked their jobs. However, this year we were absolutely amazed by the bunch of young people in the shop. Worst customer service I've ever seen in Christchurch! No courtesy words or even response when you say "hi" "thank you", no suggestion, no help, no communication...the girl was so impatient when I had to ask for a second pair of boots to try. I only saw a bit of smile on her face when she was having chitchat with her workmates, but with us, she was always like annoyed. There was no other customer while no one in the shop was keen to provide a bit of basic customer service to us.

M. P.

Great prices and customer service. I brought a pair of boots from them a couple of weeks ago and yesterday the night before I was going to use them for the first time decided they didn't fit quite right. Went back to the shop just before closing time and they stayed open to help me find the perfect pair and swap them with the ones I had brought. Had a great day on the slopes thanks to them.

M. J.

Great, friendly service. Great gear. Highly recommended :)

A.

Really friendly people. This is a real traditional snow gear shop. The rental gear is great quality, and they are open to 7pm 7 days a week. The new gear is well priced and a great selection of hardware and clothes. We've rented for the whole season for our kids, couldn't be happier.

C. M.

These people were so helpful and an all round great setup. It was a very smooth and efficient process. Being able to pick up the gear the night before and drop it back the day after skiing just made the whole trip hassle free - especially with two little kids in tow.

E. M.

Lovely staff and always have good deals on gear

M. O.

Great friendly service. Great value for money. Super nice people. We rent here every year. Thanks for looking after us again guys👍🏼

P. C.

Good selection, great service. Choose to support this family business 👍

N. J.

We called in here for a ski Jacket and ski helmet. Great service, great prices and a very good range of ski gear and clothing.

G. K.

Amazing service, great prices, awesome products. Hugely recommended.

J. W.

Best rental for miles around as far as skiing goes great alternative to buying new gear untill U know your level. excellent pricing and staff that are enthusiastic about skiing and boarding not profits. I credit snowmania staff in sharing the passion for the sport with me and spending 20+ days on mt hutt in my first season that I started half way thru btw.

J. M.

Friendly staff and great prices. Probably the best ski shop in Christchurch. They usually have dogs you can pet too! I keep taking my skis back here for edging as they are really good. I would highly recommend this ski shop

B. S. B.

Five stars. I can't recommend these guys enough, the prices on their used boards are definitely competitive with the likes of facebook and trademe and after feeling frustrated trying to find simple things such pants and gloves via private sales i bit the bullet and it ended up being well worth it. I do think i could have gotten somethings cheaper but not by much and i also got to choose the right gear for me and have some quality advice.

S. L.

Nice shop with lotsa gear to get you on the slopes. Shout out to Fergus who was really helpful and patient with all the beginner questions that I had.

J. Z.

Great service, awesome prices

D. K.

Excellent shop for ski & snow board rentals if you're heading out to the fields for the day from Christchurch. Staff and owners were very helpful and the prices are quite reasonable.

J. L.

Well stocked shop although not the best range. Has a mix of new, last season, ex rental and ex demo stock. Good place to pick up gear at a reasonable price.

K. H.

Helpful, friendly staff. Season ski and snowboard hire is a great service. Reasonably priced too!

P. D.

The cheapest snow gear rental in chch. good quick service. but be mindful, they get super-busy, so the best option is to call in advance and they'll keep your gear ready to-go! :)

M. L.

Good quality gear for cheap rental

T. S.

Really helpful and friendly staff, give really good advice in terms of weather, ski fields and gear. Good reasonable prices too

D. I.

Great and efficient service

H. S.

I’ve been to most of the main snow sports stores in Chch and at Snowmania they provide a honest, non-commercialised or biased service. Big shout out to Alex and the team at Snowmania...I will be back!

P. W.

A little chaotic at times but a cheap and reliable place to rent or buy ski gear. Despite the chaos the wait wasn't too long to get gear and the staff were patient and helpful

B. H.

Good prices! Store looks a little rough, like it's at the base of the mountain, the goods could be last seasons or not but the prices a brilliant

D. P.

Great place with great prices for who's on a budget but still demand quality
