Super legit.  I have never bought anything, but my friends have and they have never had an issue.  I have never bought from there because I could always find the same product on EVO and EVO has free shipping and no tax.  I think if you live out of CA there is no tax on products bought from Porter's, unfortunately, I live in CA, so I pay tax whether I buy from there or I buy from the shop.  Sucks.  Sorry for the story there.  They are WAY legit though.

Same policy as EVO and BC, any order over $50 and you get free shipping.  That comes in handy when buying skis.  Saves you like $30.

Porters Tahoe is one of the most legit places I know, They are friendly on the phone and can help with most questions. Porters have great deals as well. Porters is my first website to go to for buying anything ski related.

Oops, forgot to say that Porters is the first place I check for any ski equipment, and usually where I get it from.

Legit.  I've ordered a ton of stuff from them before.  If I ever had a problem with an order, calling them would end up with Chappy fixing any issues and hooking me up.  Too bad their coupons don't work anymore because you were used to be able to get another 10-20% off their prices even their sale items.

agreed.  I check Porters and if they don't have what I am looking for, I head over to evo.  But I ordered a pair of Lizzies from Porters in April,  there was a small scratch on the base so they did a base grind, full tune, and I got free 2nd day air shipping.  If that is not legit then nothing else is.

Porters is sick.  Always had great experiences with them, and always paid less than other places.  Depends on the item though.
