Satellite Board Shop

Awesome shop! Austin was amazingly helpful, patient, and taught me more about snowboard boots than I’ve learned in 18 years of riding. They have a great selection of performance women’s snowboard boots– which is hard to find!

Looks like a nice place with an awesome selection of gear, but someone at this shop told my girlfriend that she would not be let into Eldora without a snowboard leash, and when we asked someone at Eldora about this, they said it was BS. Needless to say, she’s taking the leash back. Come on guys. that isn’t how you make a sale… Cool stickers though…

I didn’t end up buying any thing here, but the guys here were able to provide some great feedback/​recommendations on boards and were super friendly. They definitely knew what they were talking about and even gave me a little bit of education on the various style boards and bindings. I wasn’t able to get that sort of information or help from the larger stores. Despite the size of the store they had a great variety of items. I’ll definitely be back if I’m in need of any snow accessories in the near future.

Definitely the best skate/​snowboard shop in CO. These days it’s easy to shop online and sometimes even find better deals than you would in a store. However, you don’t get the honest opinion of guys that have actually ridden/​tried the product you’re asking about.
Satellite is the most core shop there is, owned by skateboarders/​snowboarders who probably try out everything they bring in, no joke, everytime I ask Raul or J.G. or any of the people working if they’ve ridden this board or tried these boots it seems like they always have, and have detailed responses on what they thought. They’re not afraid to give you the pros and cons and tell you what they thought of something compared to another product, afterall not everything is better or worse, a lot of the times it’s just different, and these guys know how it’s different and will explain it to you, so you get the best set up for what you like to do. Not to mention they get products nobody else can get, certain collabs, etc.
I’ve gone to snowboard shops all over and often some of the employees put off a «too cool» vibe, not the case here, everyone is genuine and passionate about helping you find the right stuff. Plus they are really good at remembering you, what you bought, asking you how you like it which is by far the best service I’ve had in any industry.
If you haven’t been to the new location definitely go, check out Installation (connected next door) too for some sweet kicks!

I’m new to snowboarding, and these guys helped me get up and running with a used board that I brought in. Helpful staff, and they were all super nice! I will definitely head back here after a day or two on the mountain when I realize what gear I’m still missing.

Am I a skater… nope. Am I a boarder… yup.
I have been to Satellite a handful of times and I love the guys that work there. They have great gear, great employees and they know EVERYTHING! Have them do you board wax and tune if you don’t know how… shop the sale rack if you don’t have a lot of $$$.
Once you go to this place you may not go anywhere else.

I was in here yesterday, getting a gift for one of my boyfriend’s besties. Just to set the scene, I don’t know the kid very well at all, but I was invited to the birthday party and I’m a gift giver. I opted for a six-​pack and some sort of skate accessory, bearings were the suggestion of a friend of mine and that is what I went for.
Now, I can recognize the words «bearings,» «bushings,» «trucks» etc but I wouldn’t know a good set of any of them on my own. That is where Dan came in. Great guy, when I called ahead and told him what I was looking for, what the situation was, how much I wanted to spend he steered me to a product he thought was best. Turns out, yeah, it really was the best, even what the Birthday Boy already uses. When I got there a little while later I introduced myself as the Clueless Girl that Called about Bearings This Morning, he got the ones he suggested straight away and gave me a mini explanation of their pros and cons. (Any retail employee that’ll tell you the downsides of a product is pretty darn rad in my book)
I’ve been on a skateboard about a dozen times in my life, but I will definitely come back here when I finally decide to buy one. The guys here don’t have any of that I’m-so-frickin’-cool-cuz-I-got-into-this-when-I-was-eight-years-old angsty attitude and are really willing to help you out.
