My first trip out to ski Vail was awesome and Buzz’s contributed to the overall experience. While my interactions with several of the employees there were very pleasant, including Buzz’s son and daughter in law, it was a treat to get to chat with Buzz himself. Over five days I rented a combination of skis, boots, and poles, and I also bought a pair of boots. Buzz provided a discount and took care of shipping my skis and boots home to the east coast. Overall a super experience. Highly recommend!

This is the most affordable rental you will find in Vail, period. It is an independent shop not run by EPIC, and has the experience of Buzz and his team who have fostered Olympians like Buzz’s daughter.
Buzz’s team treated me and my party with great care, and had a very comfortable atmosphere. There were even a couple dogs we got to pet while trying on gear for size.
I was lucky to receive a discount from Buzz at the register, as well as a few life lessons. I recommend anyone to support this honest business.
As a side note for Buzz: I did think the pricing scheme seemed inaccurate on the laminated card vs. what I saw at the register, but that may be my mistake. Either way, this was the cheapest and best value rental in all of Vail.

I never write reviews...too lazy. But the excellent, informative & super friendly service I received on my recent ski vacation compelled me to do my first review. They helped me with directions, the stored my stuff, the rented my buddy Dan skis, and I purchased skis, binding, poles and a high quality travel bag and got a very good deal. Again, super friendly, informative and helpful. We were in the store several times during our vacation (picking up and returning skis daily, etc.) and I saw how Buzz and his staff helped all people immediately. So glad I got to meet Buzz and his friendly staff. Keep up the great work and I wish you 41 more years of success! John D. Jacksonville, FL

Definitely the best board shop in the valley. Buzz went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase after I realized I had chosen the wrong board, and did everything he could to make it right. The customer service is top notch and all of the staff were so helpful.

Awesome customer service, the people in there are super dope. They took care of my equipment with incredible care and got my stuff back to me just in time for the first runs of the day. Would recommend 1000x over

There’s no better board shop than Buzz’s! Had left behind my ski boots (which I thought were a lost cause) last season only to find that Buzz had safely stored them for a year! Customer service like no other! Have also bought a couple boards from their shop and highly recommend!

Seems to be a board shop and the experience was disappointing for us as skiers.
They insisted in both my wife and me accepting ski boots that were too tight. Claimed they had nothing better and said it had to be like this. We knew better from 40 years of skiing experience but wanted to be polite and not start a discussion.
They refused to bring bigger boots. Instead they brought me a boot still wet from another skier, which I personally find unhygienic and disgusting. And you cannot slip into a wet boot easily at all. I understand it is difficult when almost all of your gears are out on the slopes, but other shops did not seem to have this problem.
Only objective was to make us sign the rental agreement as fast as possible.
Their supposedly "best rates in Vail" are cash only... ...and finally we found better rates (and better service) elsewhere, simply asking for a discount.
We returned to Buzz's later and cancelled the booked gear which we had left there. At least the cancellation was easy they did not charge us. We felt really relieved to get away from this place.
Hope they are doing a better job on boarders.

Stop looking this is the place. Very knowledgeable, very helpful and tons of options. And just a great spot to check out and ask questions.

Buzz and his entire staff are AWESOME!!! I always rented through commercial rental chains and never realized how the personal experience means so much. They knew me by my first name and wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied. Not only are their prices so affordable but their equipment is state of the art. I would highly recommend this family-owned business. Buzz has been in business for 41 years and a great location.

I used Buzz's on my last day, did most of my board lessons out of Lionshead so they weren't convenient for that. But they are right by Gondola 1 for Vail Village. Which is very easy to get to for the lift. Very personal experience, the equipment they give you for rentals is better than what you will get at most rental spots that want to get you in and out of the store for the volume of sales. Plus they actually check the fits and angles of the board with you on it before you leave. Free storage, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff with prices that are very competitive if not better with their discounts to everyone else so it is definitely worth visiting their shop.
