Galactic Snow Sports

I ordered the 155cm Burton Blunt for my son. Galactic is a good deal if your a first time buyer or you haven't purchased any ski/snowboard equipment for a long time. These guys actually care. The friendly staff were even willing to switch the snowboard model I had changed my mind about right before it left the warehouse. I am from CA and they even split the duties with me. You can't find low priced equipment early season like you can at Galactic Snow Sports.

I purchased three ski packages from them (two kid's packages and one women's package) and am pleased with the service and the ski packages themselves. Prior to purchasing the skis I wrote a message asking for advice on one of which package to get for one of my kids, and I was given a quick and helpful reply. The ski packages arrived quickly and were ex-rental equipment from a large ski resort in California. Everything was well worn but functionally totally fine and not very old (the bindings are still indemnified), and were what I expected for the price. The only thing I wish was that it was easier to exchange boots or that there were a way for people who are local to Galactic Sports to try to them on before purchasing - my wife is thinking that she should have gotten a larger size (she has wide feed) but the shipping and restocking fees are prohibitive.

I just received my skis and boots, and the boots are in great condition. Unfortunately, both skis have multiple chunks missing from the tips. I was aware that I was buying used skis, but I was unaware that they were going to be broken.

The shipping was super fast. I ordered a set, you can definitely see the tear and use on the skis and boots, but it's comparable to used equipment in any used skis shops.
My only complaint is that the binding wasn't adjusted to the boot. Galactic Sport doesn't do this, so you have to do it yourself. I talked to the customer service about it. I was also thinking returning the boots and ordering one size larger, and better ones, they gentleman on the phone was super friendly and accomodating. They even let me to try the boots ones on the slopes to make a decision. I think I will be back for my next equipment purchase, however I will probably go for the more expensive skis and boots.

I have everything I need to go skiing and only paid $219, so I'm not complaining. The stuff all works, right sizes, too.

The reason for the three star rating is that this gear is VERY used and showed no attempt to clean or rehab before shipping. There was crayon writing on the skis, boots smell like mildew which was growing on the lining of one of them. They were dusty and are scratched to heck.

I assumed there was some process of inspection or cleanup that would have happened before shipping. That would have improved the experience quite a bit. Not sure whether I would use you again, but I'm grateful to have a little great to get me out there.
