Super legit shop, I've had the pleasure of dealing with them both online and in person and they're super chill people with low prices. Don't hesitate to buy from them.

Porters is quality and super "legit".  Best ski pricing is typically found either with them or EVO.  Buy with confidence.

chappy is the most legit shopowner. i tried posting a thread about the dude and his shop but got flamed for it. i bought moment reno jibs from him and he got them too me fast and for a competetive price. most legit shop in the game. id buy new boots from him but he just ran out of my size.

They are SUPER legit there. My brother bought some Bacon's there either last summer or the winter of '07/'08. He rode them a lot and loved them, but they broke one day. After skiing away from a little jump the tail was broken. It wasn't detached from the ski, but it was bent upwards. He sent the skis back to porters tahoe, and they sent them to line. Line wasn't going to refund the skis for whatever reason, but porters tahoe was adamant and eventually got the warranty honored. So, long story short, my brother just got a new pair of Bacons in the mail--for free.

Buy from Porters Tahoe!

Very legit, I got my Anthem Spirals from them with no tax and free shipping for 210.00. And, when I found that my skis were to short (161), they were very easy to deal with and sent me the 171's in exchange.

I got Lizzies back in april for $270, got upgraded to 2nd day shipping because when they got the skis out of the warehouse there was a gouge in the base, which they did a base grind and full tune for free.  I cannot wait to ski them.  I always check porter's first and if they don't have what I am looking for I go to Evo because they are just as legit.  I have ordered tons of stuff from both.  Skis from both, bindings and pants and hats from Porter's.  Two best shops out there.
