Peak Performance Ski Shop, Killington

My family of five have been going to Killington for 10 years and we have tried several rental places. Peak Performances is by far the best. The staff is knowledge and they are very patient with their customers. They will make sure you have the best equipment.

I recently bought new racing slalom skis from Peak Performance (2018 Blizzard FIS RD). Admittedly it's summer time and I did not have a chance to demo them, but the performance of the ski for me is mostly up to Blizzard, and, well, me. But I really want to commend the folks at Peak Performance with how they helped me through this purchase, and the resulting tune on the ski, not to mention getting such a nice ski/binding combo, finely tuned, at such a good price. I was torn between ski length - 156 vs 165. I've lost weight and gotten in shape, am down from 185lb to a trim 145lb at 5'10". I really felt I should drop the macho baloney and move down to 156. I was able to talk it over with Peak Performance and as a result felt comfortable with going with 156. There are also various tuning options, and after discussing it with them, I went with the $85 tune, primarily to change from the standard 1 degree side bevel to 1/2, and the better base grind/structure. The skis showed up sharper than any tune I've ever had, and with a really good base structure. Very pleased with the tune. I also further discussed various tuning concepts with the lads at Peak Performance, since I mostly do my own hand tuning (except for an early season base grind) and wanted to better achieve the results they showed are possible. They were happy to discuss tuning techniques with me as well. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Peak Performance, and highly recommend them.
