Review from Andrea P.

I've been in a sporty phase lately, and decided to take up skiing after a 10 year hiatus from the slopes. Having ordered my skis online, I was looking for boots and really clueless about what I needed. After visiting all of the ski shops on 4th, I ended up back at Comor for my purchase. They had the best value for your buck, the most knowledgable sales people, and the biggest selection of boots for ladies with petite feet like me. Never pushy, Matt helped me out and was genuinely concerned with finding me a comfortable fit in my price range (and put up with my insistence that my boots must match my outfit!). If you're on the market for ski gear go to Comor and talk to Matt - customer service at its best!

Comor is right next to Pacific Boarder.. I found their service was pretty equal in knowledge, friendliness, and efficiency. They had a pretty decent selection of gear.
Overall, Comor is a great place to start your winter season.
PS: Make sure to shop around in that area because there's a good 4-5 other snowboard shops all in that intersection. -

On my way to the Granville market I stopped in here because they were advertising deep discounts on all "Vancouver 2010" merch. I don't normally go for that thing but I had presents to buy for people back home, so I went in.
Well, I scored big time! Cuddly, stuffed versions of the cute Vancouver Olympic mascots were being sold at half off. I bought a whole herd of them to take home, and attracted by the prices I bought a "Vanc. 2010" ski cap for myself and a pair of DaKine gloves at 30% off.
I walked out of the store wondering if I'd been had--I used to work in retail, so I'm always wary about too-good-to-be-true price cuts--but a quick look at the prices for the same exact items at the Granville market and at The Bay over in downtown told me I'd made the right choice.
I should add that the staff seemed really helpful and knowledgeable. I saw some customers who were buying sports gear being asked really in-depth questions about what they were going to use their gear for and being given helpful suggestions in return. While I didn't require such service, it was good to see others getting it. -

The staff here all know their stuff and with their sales make this place a popular destination.
Especially if you're on your way up to any of the mountains and / or are slightly disappointed with the service across the street at Sport Mart.
Whether it's new snowboard or ski gear, this is the place that typically comes to mind to get it from. -

Comor is my go-to ski shop in vancouver. They have really quick turn-around time, friendly staff and a great product selection. Their forte is freeride skis, but they seem to have a decent selection of 'all-mountain' and beginner skis.
my only beef is that i think their clothing section could use a major update. there are a bunch of crummy expensive salomon jackets and a few nice TNF outerwear pieces, but i don't think their selection of skis matches the clothing they sell.
their service department is out of this world. they must have spent a few hours fixing up an old pair of gotamas of mine that had some water damage at the heel mounting point...mounting, remounting, heli-coils and a tune. they managed to get an extra season out of them, and only charged me $40 for about 2 hrs of work. way to go comor. -

Of the many outdoor snow/surf/skate shops in this block of West Fourth, I think this store has the best selection of ski equipment. Skiers should keep it in mind if they're looking to get some new gear. The shop is a fair size and offers clothing, shoes and accessories as well as sporting equipment.
However, we found the staff here to be a bit overwhelmed. Whereas neighbouring competitors had ample staff who were welcoming and eager to help, this shop seemed to be either short staffed or staffed with less friendly sales people. It was the only shop in the block where we weren't offered any help, even though my friend wanted to try on a pair of snowboard boots. We decided not to waste time and headed across the street to greener pastures.
Perhaps I was wrong to assume that their motto "Go Play Outside" was intended for *after* you had purchased some of their goods. We got the 'take a hike' message while browsing.
