What our customers say

Malcolm A.

Verified Buyer

"I've been lucky enough to ski all over the world over the decades. So when I say Racers Edge Wanaka are not only world class but best in class, I'm comparing them globally. Their level of knowledge is second to none and is backed up by customer service I have seldom seen in any industry. They are passionate about skiing and even more so, they are passionate about skiers."

Citrine H.

Verified Buyer

"Wow! My sister and I popped into the store yesterday morning to buy some ski boots. Jessica gave us THE BEST service I have ever received. She was so patient and clearly very knowledgeable. She spent 2 hours making sure we had the best possible boot. I can’t thank her and the team enough."

Andrew S.

Verified Buyer

"Now, I'm a snowboarder and you’re mainly about that two plank ski-life. We don't mix a lot, but I was welcomed with warm arms with my one-plank, and your staff were extremely helpful. I want to applaud your team for one of my best customer service experiences of my life. Thank you."

"Spent a lot of time here this week! Took my daughter in to buy new boots and they refitted her existing boots for $100 instead. Ended up spending my savings on a new set of skis and getting my boots refitted as well. Great advice, smart team, know their stuff."
