Kunstadt Sports

Now that winter has finally arrived with a nice, white blanket of snow, its time to prepare for it and get your gear to enjoy the snow. The best place to go buy your winter sports equipment is Kunstadt Sports, unfortunately they are not in the neighbourhood, but they are not too far away in the Glebe on Bank; other locations include Kanata and Ottawa South on Bank.

For the kids, they carry a selection of new and used downhill, cross country skis and snowboards. If you are contemplating getting your toddler downhill skiing, they carry the small toddler skis and all the training gear (tip clips and ski harness) to get them on the hill with you.

For you, they also carry a wide selection of ski and snowboard equipment. Check out their website for what brands they carry: http://www.kunstadt.com/snow.cfm

For the ski racer, they will help get them prepared and equipped for this season. My niece who is downhill racing has been in at Kunstadt a few times getting all her racing gear. They take the time and ensure that she gets the right equipment for her racing needs.

They also offer tune-ups for your skis. This is important for the beginning of ski season, since your skis have been rusting away all spring, summer and fall.  Their service department has the Wintersteiger automated ski and snowboard tuning machine and they give you a nice, professional tune-up. They claim that your bases will look as they did originally from the factory they were produced in.


They also carry a variety of jackets, helmets, goggles, clothing and bags for winter. One item I'm thinking of getting is the Kunstadt Boot Backpacks for downhill ski boots. These are really cool and they are 50% off right now - $45. Your ski boots go on the sides and your helmet and lunch fit in the middle. I think this would be a great gift for me...just saying:)

So if your are thinking of buying ski equipment for this winter, check out Kunstadt Sports. I think you will be surprised with their friendly, superior service and will feel comfortable with your purchase because of their expertise and care.
