Emage

Ordered snow pants from here, and they didn’t ship till 4 days later. Contacted them twice to inquire about returns but no response. I’m sure buying in store is a much better experience, but online, not so much.

Bought a new pair of shoes. Only time I wore them was trying them on at the store. Tried to return them or at least get store credit and they refused. Lame.

I’d be miserly and give this place four stars if it weren’t for Taylor’s (I’m terrible with names but I think that’s it) complete and utter bad-​assery. If I could buy the whole store from her I would. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Low-​pressure. Truth is, even with their great end-​of-​season sale, I could’ve ordered my new snowboard online and saved 20 bucks but screw that. I want that woman to get all the commission in the world and the shop to get support for hiring someone I can actually relate to.
Limited but beautifully curated selection of boards (mostly Never Summer and Capita), decks, bindings (Union), boots (Thirty-​Two, Nike, etc.), other gear, and apparel. I grew up skating a bit and riding a lot and ever since the age of 14, I’ve been putting up with condescension from idiots at board shops. Nearly two decades is enough of that crap. This place marries many of my divergent identies so well: rocker-​hipster-​snowboarder-​academic-​city slicker-​outdoorsman.
Emage stomps out the image of the bro-​dude-​dick shop and gives me an oasis for geeking out on techie stuff and swooning over aesthetics. The whole industry could learn a lot from this shop.

If you are a snowboarder this place is for you. I still haven’t so I can tell if this is good stuff or not. Snow pants, snowboards, boots, clips, and some other apparel.
I actually enjoyed their variety of socks. Extra thick, thick, really long socks with many different prints on them. Give this place a walk-​through.

Best shop in the Denver metro. Unmatched collection of products you won’t find at other shops. Polar, L1, limited edition/​collab snow gear. Brendon is awesome, he has helped with a few warranty issues. Only shop I will ever go to for snow related gear

I normally don’t post reviews and I’m not easily impressed, but I felt compelled to say at least a couple good things about this place. First of all, I knew I wanted a NS snowboard and wanted to purchase locally versus an online retailer. Their service was excellent and they took the time to explain the technical differences among board materials, binding differences, etc. I have not regretted my purchase and plan on coming back for other snowboard needs.

Great service with a ton of knowledge. Super down to earth guys. Just bought a brand new Capita board (first new board since 2000), and I am super excited! I give a ton of credit to Emage for dealing with my time wasting questions and indecisiveness. :D Happy snowboarding!

This was probably the best experience I have had at a snowboard shop– ever– anywhere. That says a lot considering I’ve been riding for almost 15 years and I have lived in ski towns all over the globe.
I feel the need to write this review bc Brandt (if I’m spelling that right) was so incredibly friendly and helpful. It is so hard to be a girl sometimes. You walk into a shop in your high heel boots looking all bubbly and blond, you dudes automatically assume I a) can’t really shred b) dont know the difference between core profiles, dampness, and rocker vs camber. and c) dont have an AMEX blah blah blah. Its lame. I have money to spend, and I find it very frustrating when no one will help me spend it, its just plain wrong.
So I walked into Emage, first time ever venturing there from Breck/​Boulder. but local options had left such a bad taste in my mouth I was determined to spend my money elsewhere. Super easy to get there off 1 – 25, right near the skatepark, and cool neighborhood. Brandt was incredibly friendly and helpful immediately. I had a very good idea of what I was looking for, and I am super particular. He really listened to what I had to say, and I loved how he explained so many of the technical specifics with me. He respected my brand biases and lead me through the entire Gnu girls line step by step. They also carry NS, Capita, and a few other brands. although my heart lies with NS and Mervin only these days.
Just an overall amazing experience, and worth the drive to Denver. I didn’t really look at the soft goods, but from what I store everything looked stylee, well organized and legit.
Bottom line, if you actually know anything about snowboarding and want quality product, go here, support your local skateshop and don’t waste your money or crap at Sports Authority. If you are just starting out and looking to score some cheap stuff from previous seasons, thats cool too, but I recommend a Boulder Ski Deals/​MSO option. Much cheaper goods for the less picky person.

i ordered and received the Vans Hi-​Standard Olive Green snowboard boots from them recently. i had questions about the product so i called the number listed on the site and the person that helped me out was super friendly and answered all my questions effectively. i just wanted to let everyone know that i was super happy with the whole transaction and that i will definitely be shopping with them in the future.

I like this place. The people are cool and it’s fun to have in the area. They used to have really cool shirts and hats. It’s still a nice place. I just stopped by there to buy a sweet pair of nikes the other day on sale.

I ordered a pair of Salomon Boots online. They were listed as 13 and were last years model at a great price. They called me the next day and told me that it was mis-​tagged and it was actually a 12.5. Didn’t hesitiate to offer me the new model year for the same price and apologize for the goof up. First class service in my book. Took the time on the phone explaining the difference between the old and new model to assure me. Certainly earned my business for the future. A very pleased customer.

This would get zero stars if that was an option. Long story short – I’m in the market for a new snowboard. Stopped into Emage on my way home from work to look at possible boards and, hopefully, get some insight from the guys working there as to what would best fit what I’m looking for. At least three guys were working when I came in, one of which was helping a guy try on boots. I stood near the snowboard section for ten minutes both browsing at looking back at the other two employees waiting for some help. Nobody bothered to acknowledge me, let alone ask if I needed help or had any questions or, ya know, was looking to buy a new snowboard. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that I wasn’t ignored because I was in my work clothes and not baggy jeans and a flannel shirt. After ten minutes of being ignored, I left knowing that I would not spend $ 500 on a new deck at that shop and will never be back.

This is the best local skate/​snow shop in town. They have the best go out-​of-​your-​way customer service that I have not encountered anywhere else in town. These guys know their shit. I just picked up my Never Summer board for the 09 – 10 season and that alone earns them 5 stars. You can’t find too many local places that carry NS gear. They also carry other brands that you won’t find at places like Ski & Golf. Everything is quality even though it may be pricey-​you pay for what you get!
I also scored a year’s worth of free waxes and tunage for my new board. They said the turnaround is 2 days. Take that, Ski & Golf!

Great local skate shop with tons of schwag, clothes, boards and accessories for both street and snow. The proximity to the Denver Skate Park is fortuitous if you snap a board, need grippier wheels for the slidy slidy park or want a helmet as you’re dropping into the big bowl for the first time. I’ve bought skateboards, wheels and snowboard gear and the workers are always willing to answer questions (but they’ll leave you alone to browse too) and help you out. The snowboard pants I bought for this season were fantastic and they helped me look through several types before I settled. Prices are what you’d expect for this kind of gear; not outrageously high but not super low. I’m always of the mantra that you get what you pay for; if you buy cheap shite, then you’ll be buying more of it.
If you’re a shoe connoisseur, Emage has quite the collection of skate shoes for both skating and looking sweet. Nothing ruins a casual outfit more than a pair of beat-​up or super white running shoes. So do yourself a favor and pick up at least one pair of skate shoes in black/​blue/​brown for the most flexibility or get some neon/​glittery kicks for the KAPOW on the exclamation point that is your gear.
I think it’s no big deal if you wear skate shoes and don’t skate. It keeps the companies in business and if it rids the world of the Seinfeld syndrome (jeans with blindingly white sneakers), I’m down with it.

I love skateboarding shoes. Do I board? No. Does that make me a poser? I hope not. I certainly don’t act like I know anything about the sport. Truly, I just have a thing for the shoes… and the clothes… and this store is um… KILLER for someone like me.
My guy and I walk into the store and automatically, all eyes are on our shoes. Cause we have kicks to die for.
And so do they. Their wall of shoe includes NikeSB, Etnies, Vans, DVS, and more but what impressed my guy the most was the selection within the brand. NikeSB classics mingled with Dunks and Zoom Tre’s…and for the shoe-​file, this could go on all day.
Deck’s include brands by GIRL, STEREO, LISTEN, and CHOCOLATE.
The snowboarding/​skate clothes are so cute I want to be active — and of course, they’ve got snowboards if you’re in the market.
In hip hats and amazing clothes, the staff is laid-​back (of course) and they know what they’re talking about because if they had their druthers they wouldn’t be there helping you. They’d be out and about on the mountains or the park, but they’re cute and if you ask, 10 bucks they’ll know where to go if you’re looking to hear some good music.
