Social Profile : 
Helm of Sun Valley has been a successful family-owned business in the Bay Area for 60 years. There aren’t many small businesses that can say that, and we’re proud to be one of the few that can. First established by Chuck and Maria Helm in 1960, Helm of Sun Valley has long been a trusted store for its aptitude in ski and snowboard equipment knowledge. Since then, the store has expanded to incorporate kiteboarding, windsurfing, and, most recently, electric bicycles into its areas of expertise. The store remains dedicated to its status as one of the few knowledgeable specialty sports shops in the Bay by maintaining a dedicated staff.

The owner gave me a discount on mounting because I got a lot of stuff.
David K. Liu
I was fully prepared to buy a second set of boots today at full price.

I dropped in on a Sunday, on a whim, and got a great deal on used cross-country skis and boots. Then Gerhard helped me find and fit the perfect pair of downhill boots. These guys really know what they’re doing, especially when it comes to the fine art of boot fitting. Their prices are very competitive, and they are super friendly. Gerhard was especially knowledgeable, patient, and kind.

I went in about two weeks ago and bought some high end ski boots that I ultimately had custom molded to my feet along with custom foot beds and a season long ski rental. The process was phenomenal and the customer service and selection were great. The boots fit like a glove and I left feeling very happy.The price I paid for my boots were the exact same as I could find anywhere online and what was better, I was able to support a local business.There was a tragedy while skiing with a friend of mine due to psychological issues, I have chosen to stop skiing for the time being and work on some of stress and trauma. The owner, Gary, did not have to refund me for my purchases but extremely graciously and compassionately chose to anyway. This speaks to the kind of shop Helm of Sun Valley is.They are family owned and they treat you like family. Great prices, selection, and they don’t upsell! If you’re looking for a ski shop in the bay area, you have found your place. Thank you Helm of Sun Valley!

Last year I got a board, bindings, and boots here. Gary was beyond helpful and super cool. Didn’t think it could get any better… until Rick helped me get some tight spots on my boots worked out.All the employees are knowledgeable and laidback. They’ll inform you about every detail and are not pushy at all. They legitimately want to help you find good gear.
