**5-Star Review for Charlie at Tygart Mountain Sports**

I had an amazing experience at Tygart Mountain Sports, largely thanks to Charlie! His expert knowledge and friendly demeanor made my visit enjoyable and informative. He helped me find exactly what I needed and went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. If you're looking for great service and advice, definitely ask for Charlie! Highly recommend!

Went there in 2016. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Purchased a pair of Oboz. Great boots still hiking in them all these years later.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Huge inventory of all things ski and bike. I always bring my bike here for service. The ski rentals have my out-of-town friends covered every time. Locally owned and a pillar of the community.

My family has been a Tygart customer for many years and always participate in their seasonal tune program. Great group of people. You will not go wrong coming here.

Patrick and team cant be beat. Didnt know what I wanted to demo, set me up with exactly the right pair of skis etc. They made my day and theyll make yours! Tygart!

Bought from them online delivered to Boston. Skis for my daughter 2/3 through the season as she had outgrown her old pair. Perfect service, nice note in the box, would recommend.

Best shop in the area! Friendly, helpful staff, and they carry the best brands. Wouldn't go anywhere else for tuning.

Tygart is wonderful, great selection of gear and clothing, friendly staff, good spot for rentals too. Plus a big mush of a dog to pet.

I also tried to put on a toddlers sweatshirt one time, and when it got stuck on my melon they were very nice about it and told me it was for children and helped me get out of it.

Tygart is our go to for summer and winter. Ive bought skis, boots, coats, bikes, kayaks, disc golf stuff. Bike tune, ski tunes. And they have the best Okemo swag and stickers in town for when we bring friends and family to Ludlow with us. Patrick, Charlie, and the whole crew are awesome and will always steer you right.

Perfect example, my son thought he needed new boots this year ($$$). Charlie checked out his fit in his current boots and said they were absolutely good. They are the kind of business that treats their customers right instead of just trying to make a sale today. Which is unfortunately very rare.

Plus you get to pet giant dogs. Highly recommended.

Big shop. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Rent the night before to beat the a.m. crowd. A bit cheaper than renting on the mtn.

All around fantastic. I cant say enough great things about Patrick and his team. I did extensive research into local rental companies for a very large group of renters on a company trip and Patrick went above and beyond. Extremely responsive and exceptional customer service. Pricing was excellent value, too. We usually rent directly from Okemo for our company ski trip every year but Im so glad we decided to mix it up. By far a superior rental experience compared to previous years. If I havent made it clear already, I *highly* recommend Tygart Mountain Sports for rentals and other winter (and summer) needs!

Patrick and his team have exceptional customer service and a gorgeous store - that has everything! I came in today with boot heaters that were having issues, he did a full assessment and put the boots back together (much better than before), for free. Cant wait to go back again soon.

Rented a snowboard and boots for the week. It was $35 a day. Board could've used a bit of wax but was good apart from that.

Ordered a sweatshirt from their website and everything was shipped and delivered as ordered! Jared was nothing but helpful and messaged me personally thanking me for my order. I saw a picture of the bearded owner, he looks scary but from what I hear he is just a big ole teddy bear!!!

Very caring and helpful owners! Great folks.

Updated for 2023! I demoed skis this year. Great range to choose from. Team at Tygartt were incredibly helpful getting the right choice and very knowledge. I loved the banter between the ski techs about what I should try and why. I never felt I was being sold (in fact the skis I bought were the cheapest of the demos!).

My wife and I moved to Rutland 6 years ago and ski at Killington and Pico. We tried out a bunch of shops for skiing and biking throughout the years. Some are ok, some a good, but few are outstanding. Tygart is outstanding. We drive an extra 22 miles (one way) and pass 8 different shops to give our business to Tygart. The staff is extraordinarily friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We never feel pressured or overwhelmed when talking gear or maintenance with them. Theyre very down to earth and care about their customers well being and best interest rather than just making a sale. We cant say enough good things about this shop and the people who own it and work there. My wife and I will continue to drive out of our way to give them our business. Do yourself a favor and shop Tygart!

Great store and very helpful & knowledgeable staff. We've had a great experience with the seasonal tuning packages - and the included demos are a great bonus. It's been a long time since we replaced our gear so had no idea what was on the market but their knowledgeable staff recommended some great pairs for my wife and I to demo. So good in fact we ended up going from 'just looking' to buying both sets in the demo sale. Highly recommend.

Terrific ski shop; knowledgeable help; and the nicest and most honorable people to work with. I love this place

Always receive the best customer services from every employee at Tygart. Even get some loving from a nice big dog. Tygart applies their knowledge to help you get fitted for the right equipment to make the most of your skiing and biking needs. Your in good hands.

Lots of clothing and accessories so that you can have one stop shopping.

Such a wonderful local business that really has its customers experience forefront.

Thank you Tygart for always taking such good care of our family and friends.

These guys are awesome. Rented two sets of performance skis and a snowboard for my teens and me. All of the equipment was top notch. The staff was so friendly and helpful that we stayed to shop around in the store as a thanks. Great job!

Tygart Mountain Sports near Okemo is an excellent ski and snowboard rental shop that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with friendly and knowledgeable service that made me feel right at home.

I purchased an awesome pair of Black Crows, my dad got an end of season deal on some Volkls and my kids did their first rentals here.

What really stood out to me about Tygart Mountain Sports was the level of attention and care they put into fitting each customer for their equipment. The staff took the time to ensure that my boots were properly sized and my skis were adjusted to my height and skill level, which made a huge difference in my comfort and performance on the mountain. The guys will talk to you for as long as you need and are full of advice.

Overall, I would highly recommend Tygart Mountain Sports to anyone in the Okemo area looking for quality ski and snowboard rentals and excellent service. The staff truly goes above and beyond to ensure that each customer has a great experience, and the equipment is top-notch. I'll definitely be returning on my next trip to the mountain!

Family business with emphasis on their customers experience.

Honestly, I've never even been to your shop. I don't even ski or snowboard. I am, however, a local Vermonter who is also so sick and tired of seeing entitled customers that write nasty reviews with intent to hurt businesses because they don't get their way. Uber Karen/Kevin move, low vibration stuff. Moreover, I'm in full support of a business owner who says enough is enough and defends themselves and their business against that lunacy, instead of balking and giving the customer what they demand. I may not ski/ride/bike, but I know a lot of people that do- and I will happily recommend your shop to anyone looking for anything in those categories. Thank you for restoring a bit of faith. Look forward to swinging in when in Ludlow again.

Ive shopped here many times in the years Ive been visiting our second home in Ludlow. The selection of quality sports equipment is top notch. I bought my current pair of skis here after a demo day and I love them so much! Ive bought everything from bathing suits for my kids and myself, hiking gear, and winter necessities. That is your one stop shop. Maybe next summer Ill but a new bicycle? I love to stop in because they always have fresh selection.

Yummy

The best place to get anything ski related in the Okemo area, possibly Vermont. The staff is extremely down-to-earth, and you get a true laid-back ski town vibe when you walk in. We have purchased several pairs of skis, helmets, outerwear, base layers, and everything in-between from these guys. Bring some treats for the doggos too.

Great skis and very nice people!

Pat and his whole crew are super helpful... great local ski and bike shop...

We can't recommend Tygart enough. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, go above and beyond in every way, and are just generally good people. My husband and I are AT skiers (and mostly ski Magic Mtn) but travel to Tygart for all of our needs: leases for the kids, repairs for us, new equipment or clothing for anyone (family or friends). You will be well taken care of at Tygart.

Very helpful and knowledgeable

The best. My new Elan ripsticks are awesome. They made several suggestions, I was able to try out several pairs of skis. Patrick thought I would like the ripsticks the best and he was spot on. Thank you Patrick Charlie and Angie, and of course Kobie and Bodie! See you soon!

The most helpful staff ever. they helped me pick some demo skis and did not try to force me to buy them.

Had a great experience with Tygart. Was going stir-crazy during COVID shutdown and needed a bike, fast. I searched online and found Tygart. Dealing with them was a breeze, they were super polite over the phone, and they shipped it me in Michigan very quickly! Great experience and solid business.

Professional, expert service. Highly recommend.

I could not be more happy with the service at Tygart Mountain Sports. I have a touring bicycle I took in for a "complete overhaul". During the current covid pandemic, the drop-off was contactless, and I was able to drop off the bike with an employee at the front door. The turn-around on the repairs was really quick, and Charlie took great care of the bike. I was given an honest assessment of the condition, and advised on which parts would need replacement, and which parts were not operating 100%, but could be deferred until the next service. The difference in the ride quality was night and day. I can't thank Charlie and the crew at Tygart Mountain Sports enough for their hard work. I will definitely be bringing my bike, and any other bikes in our family requiring service here in the future.
Thanks again,
Kevin
Belmont, VT

Very friendly associates. They were able to help me to the best of their ability and did so as fast as possible to help order a part for my bicycle. They have quite a friendly dog there, too, that I was free to pet and he loved me. I look forward to my next visit.

In addition to bicycle services and sales, they also sell snow sport equipment and biking gear.

these two lovely workers Jared and charlie were a huge help in finding me the perfect winter gear for this upcoming season! very knowledgeable, stylish and warm.

This shop and staff are a true gem for Ludlow! Extremely hard working crew who are all knowledgeable, friendly and dedicated to their craft. From paddle boards in the summer to absolutely any item you need for winter fun they have you covered.

We purchased boots and skis x3 this year and Charlie delivered for our family beyond measure. He knows his stuff and won't give up until he gets the fit right.

We visited a number of local ski shops to get familiar with our new home away from home and Tygart is the best. The Tygart team operates as a family and it's refreshing to see in today's world. I smile every time I step into the shop. Thanks to all of you for all you do!

The entire crew at Tygart's are professional, patient and knowledgeable. It's been a long time since I've shopped for a ski boot/ gotten one fitted. I bought a boot at a different shop in Burlington and was having issues. Patrick took the time to make sure he understood what the issues/ possible solutions were before he started heating and molding stuff. Long story short is over the course of two adjustments spanning three days he got my new boots fitting and feeling great at an incredibly reasonable price. They are hard workers at Tygarts, Patrick called me a 7:00PM on New Years Eve to talk to me about what he had just done to my boot. Highly recommend if you're anywhere in the central
Vermont area, not near just Okemo. They would be worth the drive. Thanks TMS

-Cole

Great service and lots of inventory. They recommended the perfect demo and bought the skis the next day.

Scheduled and received a boot fitting with Seth. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the products and recommended many boots based on fit, form and function. After trying a few on we narrowed down and I left confident that I'll thoroughly enjoy my purchase.. I'll be returning and 10/10 would recommend.

Over the last weekend we had rented some AT gear from Tygart. This is one of the few shops in the region that have these available and we would recommend it to anyone. The folks here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and provide us with excellent service whenever we stop in.

Excellent service on my 2 visits to the shop. Each time was greeted as soon as I stepped inside by a knowledgeable staff member.

Had an excellent experience buying demo skis here at the end of season in March 2021. Had excellent help picking out the best skis for my level of experience and got honest opinions on price and quality. Really appreciated it and love my skis.

Great place! Love it and was looking forward to see the pups but they werent in there. Was pretty disappointed but overall amazing place and definitely recommend going there. They have some great kayaks and kayak rentals.

Nice stuff people, nice stuffs, great place!
Thank you

Bought a pair of trail shoes here. Sales associate was helpful and friendly, got a good price. Recommend.

I went in looking for skis. Staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to demo a pair and got a great deal. They took their time making sure I got into the right pair of skis. Great vibe, thanks guys.

Had a solid experience in the shop, helped me find skins on short notice! Good selection of clothes too for those of us who forget a glove or mid layer.

Tygart is the place to go for all your skiing needs. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly and were able to help me get the perfect set up in no time. With such a huge selection of gear it is the perfect store for all levels of skiers. I highly recommend going here to ensure you have the best time on the mountain wether going up or downhill!

Great place to buy or rent equipment. Knowledgeable staff.

A great place to go for all your outdoor adventure needs. From skiis in the winter to bikes and kayaks in the summer, these guys got you covered. Knowledgeable, experienced staff.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! They did a wonderful job getting me set up!

Never disappointed at Tygart Mountain Sports. They have a phenomenal selection! From rentals & demos to whats the latest in the industry. Went in for a boot fitting and Charlie is the absolute best! Extremely knowledgeable and really put my needs first. Incredible!

A terrific ski rental experience with a totally friendly Vermont vibe! Skis and boots were ready when we arrived. Super helpful ski tech greeted us and got us out the door in record time on a busy Friday evening. Ski return was equally easy on Sunday afternoon with yet another professional and polite tech. Were definitely renting at Tygart again when we come up to Okemo!

They helped sort out a lost helmet issue with no hard feelings!!

Friendly service, nice stock. Prices are good considering where they are located.

When things go wrong Patrick Ross makes it right

Things dont always go to plan. But its when things go sideways that you see the true colors in organizations. Tygart Mountain Sports knows what it means to make things right and support their customers, team and products! Thank you Patrick, Charlie and Richard for getting me sorted out and ready for 2023 season! You are a great shop and provide great service! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!

Awesome owners, amazing staff!

Skiing anywhere in Vermont? Look no further than Tygart. Been going here for 10+ years . Truly the kindest most helpful ski shop out there. Definitely recommend for any skiing and related needs! I cant praise them enough! Make the smart decision and choose to shop/rent here!

I've been coming to Tygart since my first ski trip to Okemo back in 2014. I had just bought a brand new pair of skis in my hometown at another shop. The first day the bindings broke and I took them to Tygart and they fixed them free of charge. They earned a customer for life that day. Their service is always top notch and merchandise is priced accordingly. Definitely check them out.

My family and I had an excellent experience! The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and on top of it. I was impressed by how quickly all five of us got in and out even with how wide the range of ages, sizes, and styles of skiing were for us. They also were very personable. My skis are incredible and my boots fit perfectly which sometimes can be hard to find that perfect fit. Thank you Tygart for an incredible experience.

My family and I had gone to a different ski shop before Tygart the service there left us lost and not thinking we could ski the next day. After we found Tygart Sports on Google and when we walked in we were immediately greeted and helped. My brother was easily distracted by the kind and loving dog they had there while we sorted out our sizes for the reservation. We had our skis and boots in no time with a perfect fit for all five people in my family. Thank you Tygart for having such quick and personable service.

This is by far the most friendly and helpful ski rental shop my family has been to, and we ski every year. We are business owners and know the importance of good service and professionalism starting from the top. The owner of this place was so nice from the moment we walked in the door. He answered all of our questions and made sure to check on us throughout the process even though he was busy with a lot going on. The two guys who took care of fitting us for boots and skis were wonderful. I have a wide calf and was uncomfortable in the first boot I tried on, so they immediately took out their tools and fixed them up for the perfect fit. They were very patient with all 5 of us, making sure that we were 100% satisfied before we started our skiing adventures. We would highly recommend Tygart!! Thank you all so much for the amazing service!!

have been renting, getting skis tuned, and buying small stuff here for a few years. Just bought boots for both teen kids. the Fitter Rob was absolutely awesome to work with. He has a patient but deliberate manner and has been excellent in terms of handling follow up fit issues. Everyone you deal with in the shop is a pro and has a positive attitude.

This is a great local business whose parking is being taken because Vail is messing up yet again. This comment is to make up for Eve being upset that she doesn't take the time to look at her surroundings and abide by simple rules.

Great experience. Kind, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Always have a smile and offer great advice when asking about rentals or merchandise. Highly recommend them!

Their staff is great and super friendly. I appreciate how knowledgeable and helpful they were to us.

Highly recommend Tygart for a number of reasons.

1.Their staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

2. The owners of this business care about their community and staff beyond just words.

3. Reasonable prices & large inventory.

Tygart outfitted my kids with seasonal rentals for many years. A few years ago we had a major fire and all the rental equipment was destroyed. Not only did Tygart go out of their way to get our kids new equipment immediately, they did not charge us for the lost skis. This is the kind of operation they run.

5 years ago I went around town asking if anyone had Ptex to buy for a bad base shot. The only place in town who had Ptex available was Tygart. Patrick personally handed me the stick for free and said to give it a shot myself but if I needed help to come back. I ended up coming back. They ended up fixing the base shot. Patrick, Angela, Charlie and all their staff are the most knowledgeable in town on their products because they themselves are enthusiastic skiers. Happy to support their shop exclusively since our first interaction with numerous ski, boot and year round equipment purchases. First impressions matter in both directions. Best shop I have ever visited.

An incredible store ran by incredible people. If they dont have what youre looking for, theyll send you to a local shop that does. That in itself should say it all. These guys are great people to give your business to. Weve been going to Patrick for years for all our gear and tune ups. The entire crew at Tygart is knowledgeable and dependable. Would give them 10 stars if I could. Especially since we get to pet some adorable pups when we visit.

Great experience with friendly and knowledgeable staff! My daughters were were super excited when they were each generously gifted a small VT sticker for their ski helmet by the owner.

Tygart is an awesome store with awesome staff. We have used them for bike repairs in the summer and misc ski/snowboard needs in the winter. The staff is always extremely friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help. They also have by the far the best selection of outerwear in town.

One of the best shops in town. Whether youre going in for something large or small theyre friendly and helpful.

What a great shop! Came in to get some new mittens for my son and came out with way more as I'm kind of a gear junkie. Their selection of gear in general is awesome and all top notch brands. Staff was super helpful, knowledgeable and personable which really made the whole experience awesome. Can't say enough good things. Keep doing what you're are doing!!!

Great selection, staff is always friendly and helpful. Best shop in town.

We purchased a home in Mt.Holly with friends about 3 years ago. With 6 kids total we needed to find a place for season rentals. The tygart staff was kind, knowledgeable and patient. It can get a little crazy getting all those kids fitted. We have reserved our equipment every year for the next season with no issue. We have also got our own equipment tuned up and they have some of the most customer friendly hours you can imagine especially if your time is limited (open late friday night and pick up sat morning). They carry just about anything you could possibly need for a day on the mountain. Check them out you wont be disappointed.

A must stop on the way to the mountain. Staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Since moving here, Tygart has been my family's go-to for all things skiing and outdoors. Knowledgeable and personal service from owners and team who are all friendly, easy-going and helpful. Ignore any extreme negative reviews that covertly come from disgruntled parking scofflaws and instead visit yourself to see how good Tygart truly is.

Patrick, Angie, Charlie and team were awesome. They are helpful, honest and nice. This is the only place Im buying skiing/outdoor stuff. Thanks

Excellent selection, helpful staff! Great location! Highly recommend!!!

Awesome staff, selection of products and a great asset to the community. Highly recommend visiting Tygart for all your mountain needs year round!

One of the best shops in the area! Prices are reasonable and their turnaround time on tunings is 2nd to none. Have always had a great experience at Tygart and their team is some of the friendliest people in town.

I've purchased great here in the winter: gloves, hats, jackets and pants. They have a great selection and the staff is very friendly. I've also stopped by during the summer to replace mountain bike gloves, bike lights, helmets, etc. Always greeted with a smile and always have what I need in stock.

Simply the best shop in Ludlow. Extremely professional staff. Great selection. Real family place. Been going to okemo for nearly 20 years..since Patrick and Angie took over Tygart, we would never go anywhere else. HIGHLY reccomend.

When referring our B&B guests for all gear related to skiing and mountain biking, we are proud to recommend Tygart Mountain Sports. The owners work hard to create a great experience for their customers and this is infused into each and every staff member too. As locals, we are also grateful for the productive and positive role they take in community issues and events.

We bought our skis at Tygart and have them serviced there. Great staff and equipment and committed to providing a great experience at Okemo.

Tygart has been the best from day 1 of skiing for our family! It's our go to shop for everything and they have honestly become a stop for us each time we are in town whether we need something or just want to say hi. Charlie is amazing for boot fittings, Patrick is a great help & all around fun guy to talk to. Never a staff member there that hasn't been great and knowledgeable to talk about. Friendly & they have it all there!

By far and away the best in town. Weve been going there for years. They are excellent getting our young family properly fitted and excited to get out skiing.

The staff very kindly helped us one time when we were in a bind w our skis and we so appreciated it. Its now our to go shop and we have always found what we needed. Friendly staff, awesome big dog, great place.

Great place, knowledgeable staff and great selection. Thanks for being awesome.

BEST ski shop in Ludlow hands down. Such a friendly and knowledgeable staff. We will never use another ski shop.

Tygart is THE place in town to go for gear and for service (both bikes and skis). Have been going here for years and the shop has only gotten better. Check them out on your next Okemo trip!

This is a lovely locally owned small business. Would recommend to a friend.

Love this place. Grabbed new headphones for my ski helmet and they talked me through setup.

Great place! Friendly staff; very helpful. Have been in on a number of occasions and theyre always helpful summer or winter! Would recommend to anyone.

Shout out to Patrick and Tygart Mountain Sports - I noticed some wiggle in my binding toe piece today so when I dropped off my skis for a tune I requested a binding check as well. Turns out the adjustment for toe height is broken. Patrick called, barely an hour after I dropped them off, discussed the issue, and recommended several replacement options for me. I chose a new binding and he set to work. My skis will be ready for pick up same time as originally planned tomorrow.

If you havent had your bindings checked - highly recommend you get them done

So thankful for good local shops with friendly, professional, knowledgeable staff. Thank you Patrick!

One of the best shops in town! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fair pricing, quick service, and a great contributor to our local community!

This shop is amazing. While they are at a busy location at the base of Okemo, the space is huge but welcoming, and the employees never make you feel like they are too busy for you. My family has bought several pairs of skis and boots here after amazing demo experiences, and we do all of our seasonal rentals for the little ones in the family here. I highly recommend Tygart!

Great local shop with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Our family has appreciated their advice and expertise for years!

Tygart is a great place to shop for any outdoor gear. Great quality items and great people!

We use Tygart for all our family ski needs and have turned countless friends and relatives on to them. Patrick and his entire team are exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful while not aggressively pushing sales. They are simply there to provide you with all the information to make an informed decision. Charlie is a first rate boot fitter who will work tirelessly to insure the proper fit and comfort. I highly recommend the family ski tune package which is a terrific value for those with a couple of sets of skis to care for.

I have nothing but good things to say about Tygarts. Ive shopped there many times and always had a great, no pressure experience with tons of product selection. This past weekend I arrived to Ludlow late Friday evening for a weekend of skiing and was so happy to discover that Tygarts is open until Midnight on Fridays and I could drop my skis off before 11pm and have them be waxed up and ready to go the next morning at 7am. Having skiied Okemo for over 10 years now, Tygarts & The Boot Pro are my favorite ski shops. I highly, highly recommend.

Friendly service, nice stock. Prices are good considering where they are located.

They helped sort out a lost helmet issue with no hard feelings!!

A terrific ski rental experience with a totally friendly Vermont vibe! Skis and boots were ready when we arrived. Super helpful ski tech greeted us and got us out the door in record time on a busy Friday evening. Ski return was equally easy on Sunday afternoon with yet another professional and polite tech.

With such a huge selection of gear it is the perfect store for all levels of skiers. I highly recommend going here to ensure you have the best time on the mountain wether going up or downhill!

Great place to buy or rent equipment. Knowledgeable staff.

A great place to go for all your outdoor adventure needs. From skiis in the winter to bikes and kayaks in the summer, these guys got you covered. Knowledgeable, experienced staff.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! They did a wonderful job getting me set up!

Never disappointed at Tygart Mountain Sports. They have a phenomenal selection! From rentals & demos to whats the latest in the industry. Went in for a boot fitting and Charlie is the absolute best! Extremely knowledgeable and really put my needs first. Incredible!

Awesome demo program and super knowledgeable staff. Most professional ski demo/purchase process I've been through. Highly recommend.

I went in looking for skis. Staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to demo a pair and got a great deal. They took their time making sure I got into the right pair of skis. Great vibe, thanks guys.

Bought a pair of trail shoes here. Sales associate was helpful and friendly, got a good price. Recommend.

Nice stuff people, nice stuffs, great place!
Thank you

Great place! Love it and was looking forward to see the pups but they werent in there. Was pretty disappointed but overall amazing place and definitely recommend going there. They have some great kayaks and kayak rentals.

Patrick was the man! We rented four top end mountain bikes and took the scenic route 100 around the lakes. Be sure to stop by the green mountain sugar shop on the way back! He stayed late for us and then pointed us towards the scenic overlook on Mountain rd. Unbelievable sunset! We're going to come back for ski season.

Great service- great people. Best shop in ludlow.

Nice showroom with a large selection of high end gear. Patrick was very helpful, will definitely be a return customer.

Great service. Took time with the kids to get the fit right and explain the equipment. This will be a regular stop on our trips to Ludlow.

Friendliest shop around! Great prices, awesome people, even better service. And don't forget to say hi to Colby

Friendly and helpful

The best store by okemo

Fantastic experience purchasing downhill boots. The fitting process was incredible as I ended up with boots which fit very comfortably. Have purchased a few boots over the years and never had anyone take the effort as this shop did in asking questions and knowing how to make sure that the customer ends up with the right boot. We learned quite a bit from these folks and are very grateful. This is the place!

Love Tygart Mountain Sports! Fantastic customer service. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They always have a great selection to get me ready to hit the slopes. Plus who doesnt love a good shop dog!?

Every time I find myself back home on the east coast, I try and make time to visit the folks at this location. They exceed every expectation, every time. Whether its winter and youre searching for ski rentals to go up on the mountain with, or summer and you need a kayak to check out any of the numerous lakes in the area, this is your one-stop shop! Some of my favorite gear has been purchased here, they have only the highest quality/best brand-name items, all at really reasonable prices.

Great rental prices and good service at the repair shop too!

I haven't gotten such service in a shop in a long time. 2 different people helped me w 2 different requests and they were both really knowledgeable and cared that I bought the right product (not necessarily the most $$). Support this local shop!

Great experience, friendly and helpful staff. Adorable mastiff puppy!

Good quality equipment, but if you rent, be sure to do more than one day (discounts).

Patrick is the man! Hooked me up with wonderful skis. I was nervous to upgrade to a little more advanced ski but after using them on the mountain today I could not be happier. Also the boot warmers were life changing.
First place I stopped at that I felt the workers cared about what I wanted and just didnt try to sell me something. I will recommend this place to anyone I know visiting the area!

My daughter and granddaughter got snow shoes at TMS. They had one's that fit the three year old! We had a great time snowshoeing and granddaughter loved playing with gentle giant of a mastiff, Bodie. Thanks for everything guys!

Returned daily rentals one day sooner, but got charged for the entire period. This is after we had been renting at this place for the season since the place opened in its current incarnation. They told us something about their computer system not letting them refund a day of rental. Very disappointing.

[Edited] Updating the rating the shop has tried to make it right and I appreciate it. Glad that the human judgement was able to work around the limitations of the (perhaps too rigid) advanced registration system. This is why we prefer to deal with people and not with systems and robots, no matter how advanced. As of now we are looking forward to coming back and hopefully we will only get to see the humane side of Tygart.

if you're looking for the best ski shop in the area, I recommend you check out TMS. We live in PA and skied in Okemo. Have gotten great end of season deals here. I feel the staff is trying to sell you what you will need, and doesn't try to upsell.

For friendly rental service, this spot is great. Just a short hop from the slopes, it's convenient and has a huge selection. The gear is pretty good and affordable, so it's a much better option than renting on the slope. The staff is friendly and quick, and willing to lend a helping hand. There's even a store dog.

Everything was ready as ordered. Process is quite streamlined.

The employees are very nice and super helpful

Great experience renting skis. Owned by a Pittsburgher

Nice shop, they had kids rental.

Fantastic staff... Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

Great and efficient service!

Fast service, reasonable prices

Helpful. And they bring their fur babies to work. Beautiful!!!!!

Nice place, large selection and good helpful service.

The best equipment

Very nice customer service

Great customer service

Yummy

The best place to get anything ski related in the Okemo area, possibly Vermont. The staff is extremely down-to-earth, and you get a true laid-back ski town vibe when you walk in. We have purchased several pairs of skis, helmets, outerwear, base layers, and everything in-between from these guys. Bring some treats for the doggos too.

Great skis and very nice people!

Pat and his whole crew are super helpful... great local ski and bike shop...

We can't recommend Tygart enough. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, go above and beyond in every way, and are just generally good people. My husband and I are AT skiers (and mostly ski Magic Mtn) but travel to Tygart for all of our needs: leases for the kids, repairs for us, new equipment or clothing for anyone (family or friends). You will be well taken care of at Tygart.

Very helpful and knowledgeable

The best. My new Elan ripsticks are awesome. They made several suggestions, I was able to try out several pairs of skis. Patrick thought I would like the ripsticks the best and he was spot on. Thank you Patrick Charlie and Angie, and of course Kobie and Bodie! See you soon!

The most helpful staff ever. they helped me pick some demo skis and did not try to force me to buy them.

Had a great experience with Tygart. Was going stir-crazy during COVID shutdown and needed a bike, fast. I searched online and found Tygart. Dealing with them was a breeze, they were super polite over the phone, and they shipped it me in Michigan very quickly! Great experience and solid business.

Professional, expert service. Highly recommend.

I could not be more happy with the service at Tygart Mountain Sports. I have a touring bicycle I took in for a "complete overhaul". During the current covid pandemic, the drop-off was contactless, and I was able to drop off the bike with an employee at the front door. The turn-around on the repairs was really quick, and Charlie took great care of the bike. I was given an honest assessment of the condition, and advised on which parts would need replacement, and which parts were not operating 100%, but could be deferred until the next service. The difference in the ride quality was night and day. I can't thank Charlie and the crew at Tygart Mountain Sports enough for their hard work. I will definitely be bringing my bike, and any other bikes in our family requiring service here in the future.
Thanks again,

Very friendly associates. They were able to help me to the best of their ability and did so as fast as possible to help order a part for my bicycle. They have quite a friendly dog there, too, that I was free to pet and he loved me. I look forward to my next visit.

In addition to bicycle services and sales, they also sell snow sport equipment and biking gear.

these two lovely workers Jared and charlie were a huge help in finding me the perfect winter gear for this upcoming season! very knowledgeable, stylish and warm.

This shop and staff are a true gem for Ludlow! Extremely hard working crew who are all knowledgeable, friendly and dedicated to their craft. From paddle boards in the summer to absolutely any item you need for winter fun they have you covered.

We purchased boots and skis x3 this year and Charlie delivered for our family beyond measure. He knows his stuff and won't give up until he gets the fit right.

We visited a number of local ski shops to get familiar with our new home away from home and Tygart is the best. The Tygart team operates as a family and it's refreshing to see in today's world. I smile every time I step into the shop. Thanks to all of you for all you do!

The entire crew at Tygart's are professional, patient and knowledgeable. It's been a long time since I've shopped for a ski boot/ gotten one fitted. I bought a boot at a different shop in Burlington and was having issues. Patrick took the time to make sure he understood what the issues/ possible solutions were before he started heating and molding stuff. Long story short is over the course of two adjustments spanning three days he got my new boots fitting and feeling great at an incredibly reasonable price. They are hard workers at Tygarts, Patrick called me a 7:00PM on New Years Eve to talk to me about what he had just done to my boot. Highly recommend if you're anywhere in the central
Vermont area, not near just Okemo. They would be worth the drive. Thanks TMS

Great service and lots of inventory. They recommended the perfect demo and bought the skis the next day.

Scheduled and received a boot fitting with Seth. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the products and recommended many boots based on fit, form and function. After trying a few on we narrowed down and I left confident that I'll thoroughly enjoy my purchase.. I'll be returning and 10/10 would recommend.

Over the last weekend we had rented some AT gear from Tygart. This is one of the few shops in the region that have these available and we would recommend it to anyone. The folks here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and provide us with excellent service whenever we stop in.

Excellent service on my 2 visits to the shop. Each time was greeted as soon as I stepped inside by a knowledgeable staff member.

Had an excellent experience buying demo skis here at the end of season in March 2021. Had excellent help picking out the best skis for my level of experience and got honest opinions on price and quality. Really appreciated it and love my skis.

Best bike shop in Ludlow. Excellent and speedy service. Staff knows their sh*%! Also, love the fur babies. Very easy to deal with. Great selection of summer equipment and waterfront equipment.

Fantastic every time. Developing a relationship with a shop becomes harder and harder to do these days. The owners and workers at Tygart care about their customers and it shows every time I shop there. I’ve brought friends and they feel the same way. They’ve taken care of any of my mountain biking or skiing needs and will continue to do so.

We can't recommend Tygart enough. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, go above and beyond in every way, and are just generally good people.

You will be well taken care of at Tygart.

We've been skiing at Okemo for the last few years and have depended upon Tygarts for nearly everything. The owners, Patrick and Angie, are hands-on and willing to help with anything. We've purchased skis, boots, and lots of other gear here. We've also rented seasonal rentals for the kids for years. My kids love going into the store and playing with the colossal dogs as well. A nice extra. I highly recommend.

Great customer service

Great customer se3

Very nice customer service

[Holy cr*p are people ridiculous. Reading the disparaging reviews that people leave has been entertaining. I particularly liked the spontaneously breaking pole. Amazing. Patrick, good on you for replying to each and every one with such patience.]

Anyhoo..... You guys are opened on Fridays until midnight. You obviously know what the value of customer service is because you know that customers may be pulling into town late and don't want to spend Saturday morning dealing with rentals. I was able to have a leisurely dinner with the family, unpack at the house, and then head to Tygart to get some demo skis.

I was looking for demo skis to try out and possibly buy and the sales rep was extremely helpful. He asked me about my skiing, about my preferences, about what I ski on now. He set me up with what he thought I'd like. Easy, personable, respectful service.

Of course the skis were great ... now I only need to find some money in the budget to buy them. Thanks Tygart!

Nice place, large selection and good helpful service.

Helpful. And they bring their fur babies to work. Beautiful!!!!!

Fast service, reasonable prices

Great and efficient service!

Fantastic staff... Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
Felt they were trying to help me more than make a quick sale

Nice shop, they had kids rental.

Just returned from our first ski trip to Okemo, and cant rave enough about Patrick and the team at Tygart Mountain Sports. They were incredibly flexible with our reservations when unexpected travel delays changed our ski plans - and he and his staff were extremely friendly and accommodating during some really busy times of the day. Its pretty awesome when the best priced rental place in town also has top-notch customer service! Tygart has our business on any future trip to Okemo!

Great experience renting skis. Owned by a Pittsburgher ?

The employees are very nice and super helpful

Love Tygart Mountain Sports! Fantastic customer service. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They always have a great selection to get me ready to hit the slopes. Plus who doesn’t love a good shop dog!?

Everything was ready as ordered. Process is quite streamlined.

For friendly rental service, this spot is great. Just a short hop from the slopes, it's convenient and has a huge selection. The gear is pretty good and affordable, so it's a much better option than renting on the slope. The staff is friendly and quick, and willing to lend a helping hand. There's even a store dog.

if you're looking for the best ski shop in the area, I recommend you check out TMS. We live in PA and skied in Okemo. Have gotten great end of season deals here. I feel the staff is trying to sell you what you will need, and doesn't try to upsell.

Every time I find myself back home on the east coast, I try and make time to visit the folks at this location. They exceed every expectation, every time. Whether it’s winter and you’re searching for ski rentals to go up on the mountain with, or summer and you need a kayak to check out any of the numerous lakes in the area, this is your “one-stop shop”! Some of my favorite gear has been purchased here, they have only the highest quality/best brand-name items, all at really reasonable prices.

My daughter and granddaughter got snow shoes at TMS. They had one's that fit the three year old! We had a great time snowshoeing and granddaughter loved playing with gentle giant of a mastiff, Bodie. Thanks for everything guys!

Great service. Definitely the nicest and most knowledgeable of the ski shops in the area. Plus they have amazing dogs hanging in the shop.

Patrick is the man! Hooked me up with wonderful skis. I was nervous to upgrade to a little more advanced ski but after using them on the mountain today I could not be happier. Also the boot warmers were life changing.
First place I stopped at that I felt the workers cared about what I wanted and just didn’t try to sell me something. I will recommend this place to anyone I know visiting the area!

Returned daily rentals one day sooner, but got charged for the entire period. This is after we had been renting at this place for the season since the place opened in its current incarnation. They told us something about their computer system not letting them refund a day of rental. Very disappointing.

[Edited] Updating the rating – the shop has tried to make it right and I appreciate it. Glad that the human judgement was able to work around the limitations of the (perhaps too rigid) “advanced registration system”. This is why we prefer to deal with people and not with systems and robots, no matter how advanced. As of now we are looking forward to coming back and hopefully we will only get to see the humane side of Tygart.

Nicest and most knowledgeable of the shops in the area. Plus they amazing dogs to hang with while you wait. I love you Bodie!

Great ski shop with amazing customer service. The staff is very knowledgeable and takes pride in their work. They will help you with the gear that suites your abilities and style. All of the equipment and gear is top-notch. They have ski, board, and in the summer bike rentals. Location is right by Okemo Resort, very convenient. And they have the cutest shop dogs ever!! We will surely visit them on our next trip to beautiful Vermont!!

Patrick and his staff were excellent and very helpful! Definitely number one place near the mountain to rent equipment or buy equipment. Plus they have the coolest dogs ever!

Excellent selection. Excellent staff. Excellent place to shop; we will be back!

The team at Tygart Mountain Sports is top notch! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They fit me in a new boot (which I love) and I was out of the shop and on the hill in no time. Will definitely be back!

Definitely the best ski shop in Ludlow! Went shop to shop looking for skis and this place had the best deals and the most knowledgeable staff. People who woke here clearly love to ski. Very up to date on latest technologies and with good selection of skis and gear. They customized my boots for me for free. Highly recommend and well located right at the base of Okemo. Great overall vibe.

Patrick and his staff took great care of us. Very knowledgeable and new answers for the perfect ski & boot setup for our winter season.

Incredibly helpful and fun folks here! Lucky to have such a great store in Ludlow (and a really sweet dog named Colby) :)

We brought a decent sized crew in for season rentals, and Patrick, Kevin, Dave, Ian (I think?), and Josh have taken great care of our group. Quick communication, a good deal on some nice skis for the kids, patience and helpfulness getting a bunch of teenagers outfitted, etc. Patrick and his staff really bent over backwards to accommodate us, they chatted up the kids about the upcoming season, and they were excited about connecting with their new community. Congrats on the shop's opening, and thanks for the outstanding service. We'll be back by throughout the season no doubt!

Tygart Mountain Sports is the best place to find any outdoor sports or recreation gear anyone could ever need! They are top notch professionals with expertise in outdoor recreation. Patrick and his team are phenomenal people to know!

Bought a pair of Skis today. Patrick was outstanding!

We've been coming to Okemo for over 10 years...Patrick and his staff (and Kolby) are by far the best. Extremely knowledgable and very friendly. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

I had the pleasure of stopping in with my family to purchase ski equipment this past weekend and have to say it was one of the best shopping experiences I ever had. Patrick and his staff make you feel very welcome and at home. They are very knowledgeable and thorough in everything we asked. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Patrick and staff for you help and making it a great ski trip

Made our annual trip up to see Patrick and Colby and once again our visit was fantastic!! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, very quick service and their selection is best in the area, we've been to all the shops in the Ludlow area and wouldn't go anywhere else. Keep up the good work guys..

Great team & Great shop! The shop has a great selection of anything you could need for your outdoor adventure. Shout out to Charlie and Thomas who were so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Gave great advice, didn't try to oversell or push anything, hooked our kids up with season rentals and guided my husband and I through our first skis and boot purchase.

The employees were all really helpful and friendly. They gave good advice and weren't pushy about us purchasing. The English mastiff there was adorable!

Friendliest shop around! Great prices, awesome people, even better service. And don't forget to say hi to Colby

Great service. Took time with the kids to get the fit right and explain the equipment. This will be a regular stop on our trips to Ludlow.

Nice showroom with a large selection of high end gear. Patrick was very helpful, will definitely be a return customer.

Great service, nicest people. Helped me out with Patagonia tops. Will be going back for sure.

Patrick and his team are the best. They take their time and really teach you the basics about all the gear to help you decide on the best fit. We (my wife and I) bought skis and bikes from Tygart's. Can't say enough about the exceptional service, reasonable prices, and laid back sales approach. Patrick will put you on the right skis or bike or any other gear --it's not just about making the most money. He spent hours fitting our bikes and making sure we were comfortable and sized appropriately. Same experience with our ski purchases last year. Can't wait for our next purchase- SUP and a kayak!!!!

Thanks so much to Tygart's and the entire team. Plus the most beautiful dog to hang out with while you shop.

Tygart's is the place to shop for all your outdoor gear!!!!

Great service- great people. Best shop in ludlow.

Super friendly staff that made us feel right at home! Visiting from out of town and fell in love with the area, this place is one of the main reasons why. Greeted immediately, but did not feel pressured or overwhelmed like you sometimes can find yourself in these types of stores. Store is very well setup and very well kept, clean as can be! Had a GREAT selection, we homed in on the Patagonia section. We will absolutely be back to rent from them to go skiing! IF you are passing through you must stop by, even if you don't think you need to! Can't miss it, either, right on the main road through town, across the street from the entrance of Okemo.

Patrick was the man! We rented four top end mountain bikes and took the scenic route 100 around the lakes. Be sure to stop by the green mountain sugar shop on the way back! He stayed late for us and then pointed us towards the scenic overlook on Mountain rd. Unbelievable sunset! We're going to come back for ski season.

Very professional bike service,
They tuned up and fixed some annoying problems with a shimano hub
in a short time
I would go back

I stopped by with my family this past winter (Jan 2015) on a trip to Okemo to pick up a new coat for my daughter and to look at skis and boots for myself.  When we entered the shop, we were greeted by a beast of a shop dog named Colby, hands down the best shop dog I've encountered.  The owner (Patrick, I think) followed close behind and the mood of the shop was set.  This place is now our go-to shop at Okemo.  They're extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and will absolutely go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience.  

The owner (again, Patrick I think) waited on me and led me through the progression of ski technology and helped me pick out a couple skis to demo. He's very knowledgeable and gave me a little education on ski construction.   I eventually ended up purchasing a Volkl Kendo set up.  it was really, really nice to have the actual store owner take the time to walk through a purchase with me as a customer.

He also worked with me on fitting a boot and was humble enough to recognize and tell me that he didn't carry the boot I needed.  He sent me to another shop in town and the entire experience worked out great.  It's rare that a business owner will go that far out of his/her way these days.

I stopped back in this past week while biking in the area and was excited to find out that they are now a bike shop in the summer months.  I dropped off my bike for a tune-up and they had it back to me same day. Kevin (shop mgr I believe) and I talked bikes for almost an hour.  

You can't go wrong with these guys. We'll be in every trip to Okemo.
