Test the Best. Then Decide. Join us for our Annual Demo Day and spend time on the hill with skis and boards chosen for how they truly ride.

Shepherd & Schaller stocks the most in-demand on-snow gear, and has again invited our vendors to share next-year’s models with you. Talk with brand reps, test as many styles as you like. PRE-REGISTER HERE by selecting RESERVE to save time at check-in on event day.

  • $10 Demo Fee – donated to local youth ski programs
  • Adult-size gear only
  • *Demo Day Tag required
  • All registrations must be signed by adult, parent or guardian – no exceptions

In partnership with Granite Peak Ski Area, this event promises a day filled with exploration and excitement. To participate, check-in at Sundance Chalet.

Demo equipment will be available from hill opening until 3 pm, giving you ample time to find your perfect fit. Please remember that all equipment must be returned by 3 pm. To ensure that everyone gets a chance to experience the latest ski innovations we encourage testing another style after a lap or two. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to test new 26/27 adult-sized skis and snowboards and support our local ski community at the same time.

*You will be provided with a Demo Day Tag listing your key measurments. It allows brand reps to set bindings quickly and correctly at each tent, so you can focus on the snow, not the paperwork.
