Brian Head Georg’s Ski Shop & Lodge

We had a great experience at Georg’s. You can ski in and out from their location and they were a fantastic staff, very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Also, great equipment. We did get conflicting information about night skiing, but we got it figured out! We will definitely come again.

an excellent place! very very helpful people. kind, knowledgeably explained the how tos for cross-​country skiing and even drove us up the hill to a magnificent spot. definietly see them for skiing gear, info, and other helpful solutions for you skiing needs and pleasure.

Customer service is exemplary in this family run ski shopped. They are knowledgable, honest, and easy to talk to. They definitely earned my buisness and I bought some new volkl ‘s from them. Thank you Georg and your family !

Georg’s always has the best service. Great reasonable gear, rental and repair/​wax prices, and honest. Never try to up sell you. Always try to give them my business, plus I get to see the dogs.

Wow oh Wow! Showed up late in the day for a shuttle with only two people. I would have expected them to say no… too late or not enough riders. But gladly took us to where we wanted and the price was right!!! Thank you

Called up a few days prior to our visit to the area. Rented the bikes over the phone. We show up and boom bikes and helmets. No upsales or bull, just friendly and fast.

What a great store and rental place! The lady who works the front desk is so sweet and helpful and George himself is pretty cool too! Rentals are very affordable and in good shape and they have cute dogs to meet you at the door! Will definitely come back next year and rent with them again. FYI they also rent out cabins/​condos right at the base of the mountain.

Pulled in to find out if they knew of any good spots to snowshoe in the area, with dogs. They were extremely helpful, very friendly and told us exactly how to get to a few spots. That did not disappoint! Even though we didn’t purchase anything from them, they still helped point us in the right direction. They gave us a brochure for their rentals, and even though we stayed in a great place, I would be willing to give this place a try next time!

If youre in the area and need something, stop by georgs. They are simply the best around. They helped me out quite a bit when my bindings broke and saved my trip.

Everyone who works there is friendly and so helpful! My boyfriend rented some ski equipment there and they gave him a great deal on a two-​day rental. I told them I’ve never tried before and they offered me a great deal as well since it was my first time.
Yesterday was the first time I’ve been there, and I definitely will always go there from now on for any snow gear that I need! Great prices and great people to help! They made our trip out there great!

I just spend a few days at Brian Head with a good friend. He had skied there before but never had any interaction with the folks at Georg’s. We were looking for reasonably priced lodging close to the base, and we weren’t disappointed.
Booking via email was easy and the rate was very competitive. The lodging was above the ski shop so I rented my equipment in the same place I was staying, which made it incredibly convenient. The guys working in the shop were incredibly knowledgeable and very nice. Georg was working the front desk seemingly at every hour of the day. What a great guy. And the coolest part is that his father started the resort and it is definitely a family business. The rates are again, very competitive. I rented a demo pair of top of the line Volkl V Werks all mountain skis, boots and poles for $ 47 a day.
The room was clean and well appointed with 3 queen beds, a flat screen tv, a nice hot shower and a great view of the slopes — couldn’t ask for more there. When we were ready to hit the slopes we walked out our front door, walked across the street, strapped in and got on the lift! When we were done for the day we literally skied right into the parking lot, unclipped and walked into our room — no time wasted on shuttles lugging your equipment around!
All in all the experience was fantastic, and my friend and I have already started to schedule an annual trip to Brian Head and Georg’s. I woouldn’t stay anywhere else after my experience — just a great family run business that really takes care of its customers.

Pulled in by the banner out front offering a shuttle! Yay! Being flatlanders from sea level in CA we couldn’t breath. We were VERY greatful for the lift to the top for a 12 mile down hill down Bunker Creek. The scenery was epic and we were very glad not to miss an inch! Thank you for an amazing day. We couldn’t have done it without you.

George was the man, and did a great job with sales and service. I bought my first pair of Nordica boots from him in 1968. Service and support have been, and remain this shops motto. George’s son continues the tradition, and any shop that has that kind of history is one to visit on your next trip to Brian Head.

The last few times visiting brianhead for our winter fun we visited all area ski shops and have always come back and purchased our gear here. We have decided that this will be our only shop we need to visit. Each and every time the customer service, prices and warm friendly family owned service Far surpasses any other shop. So thank you Georg & tatiana for our latest purchases :) new goggles x 2. Love them…

This is the second time we have done business with these guys. They are great. Renting from and shopping here is easy and enjoyable. I’m not certain but I’m pretty sure it’s family run and it shows because everyone seems to care about you being a customer. I would recommend anyone coming to Brain Head to rent equipment or shop with them.
It seems they also do vacation rentals too, haven’t used them for that but would guess it’s a good experience too.

Highly recommend this place for your ski rentals or lodging needs. Everyone running this place is super friendly and helpful.
Rented their unit 6 and 7 condo upstairs above the shop. $ 215 for both units per night. The condos are older and rustic but clean, warm and comfortable. Nice view included. The intermittent heater kept waking up my friend. But, hey, that’s why I wear ear plugs when traveling. The kitchen has a full-​sized refrigerator and is well-​stocked with all the cooking stuff and utensils, plus some left-​over condiment from previous guests. Best part is it’s ski-​in/​ski-​out. You do have to walk a few steps to the bridge then ski down to the lift chair. Coming back, just aim for your condo and ski to the door step. How cool is that?!
We did get one day of free skiing pass for three people on the first day and one pass for the second day. Icing on the cake. See my other review on Brianhead ski resort for the run down on the skiing. Fishing is supposed to be pretty good in the summer and fall, so I will probably skip Mammoth Lakes next time and try fishing here and Panguich area.

Great local shop! Very helpful staff, good selection, good prices.
Thanks!

Just returned from a wonderful ski escape with special thanks to Chrystl!!! She allowed us to stay less than the required 3nt minimum during the peak season and gave us super special treatment. She arranged our ski lessons, a special shuttle to rush us to our lessons, I could go on & on of the great efforts she & the staff put in to making our skiing vacation pleasant!
Being that we’re from Hawaii & beginner skiers, she even escorted us to our condo. Despite her guiding us how to drive on the snowy roads, we still managed to get stuck in the snow. Thank goodness she was with us, without her help I think we’d still be stuck.
The peeps over at Georg’s Ski Shop are extremely friendly & helpful. They go the extra mile in customer service! and the prices aren’t bad either :)

Just got back from this place. Walked in and was greeted right away by Georg’s wife (the Russian lady whose name totally escapes me right now) who asked us to definitely let her know if we needed any help.
I was in need of a new jacket, so I went to go look at their selection and was told everything was 40% off. Score! Even though they were having a big sale, they had a pretty good selection of stuff. George came over and was really knowledgeable about his stock. We were asking about waterproofing level for one jacket that didn’t seem to have it marked and he gave us like 3 reasons as to why that jacket was definitely at a higher quality.
I was also looking for a very specific hat that a friend of mine has (or something at least similar): one of those knitted hats with a soft small brim. All of their hats seemed to have harder brims. The Russian lady (damn, I really wish I could remember her name) looked through everything they had and finally found something very similar.
So, I ended up walking away with a jacket and a hat and was really satisfied with the customer service. If I’m ever back in the area, that will definitely be the place I go for gear.

Found this place online while I was looking for a place to Demo some performance equipment for my day of skiing at Brian Head.
I’m a formerly excellent skiier who hadn’t been on boards in 10 or 15 years, and this was only my third day back. My old stuff didn’t cut it anymore, and there have been so many changes in the technology, I needed to find somewhere that really knew what they were doing, and would get me set up with some gear that would keep me challenged and interested, but not get me killed! ;)
Not only did the guys there (I wish I had remembered their names) take good care of me in that department, they also hooked me up with a lift ticket at a substantial discount from Brian Head’s already reasonable price! And this was for an out-​of –towner that was just staying for the one day…
Their shop is beautiful and well-​stocked, and only a few hundred yards up the main road from the main Brain Head lodge and parking area. When you’re on your way into town, drive past main parking lots and you’ll run right into it.
The only possible Con was that it was a bit of a pain in the butt to drag the gear back out to the car and hurry to drive it back over to the shop after being worn out from the day of skiing. It isn’t far, but their posted hours aren’t much later than the resort itself stays open, so it was a bit of a rush. So it would have been easier to pick up and especially drop off the gear right there at the lodge, but it was a pretty minimal inconvenience. And the guys were still there finishing up for the night when I stumbled back in, maybe 10 minutes after their posted closing time. No problems or hassles.
I definitely plan on making a return trip to Brian Head, hopefully as soon as next winter, and Georg’s will be the first place I call.
