About Fleischer Sport
Fleischer Sport was built on one premise: Deliver the highest quality ski shop experience found anywhere in the world.
We take great pride in ensuring that you, your family and your friends are our number one priority. Fleischer Sport’s customer service, professional staff, quality of equipment, and our selection of clothing and accessories is the best available in Steamboat Springs. Our staff has personally tested all the gear that we carry to ensure that your time spent skiing and riding is the most enjoyable, the easiest, the most comfortable and most efficient that it can be.
We are conveniently located right at the base of the Steamboat Springs Ski Area and are THE ONLY SHOP that offers FREE overnight storage of our ski and snowboard rental and demo equipment. Your boots live on our boot dryers overnight, so they are warm and dry every morning, and your skis are waiting for you in our racks just outside the front door of the shop. Say goodbye to the hassle of carrying gear to and from your house, condo, car, or shuttle bus, and enjoy the convenience of leaving everything overnight with us. No more starting your day with cold, wet feet! Just grab your warm boots, skis or snowboard, and hit the slopes!
In addition to free gear storage, Fleischer Sport offers an onsite basket check for a fee, allowing you to securely store shoes and personal belongings while you are up on the mountain. While you’re in the shop, also take advantage of The Tune-Up, our beer, wine, and ski tuning bar for some après-ski relaxation. Having been ranked Steamboat Springs' #1 ski shop for fifteen years straight, Fleischer Sport ensures top-notch service and convenience. When only the best will do, Fleischer Sport is the clear choice!
