About Al's Ski Barn

Al's Ski Equipment Barn is a family owned business of dedicated skiers with over 70 years experience in the ski industry retail and wholesale business. Al's Ski Equipment Barn acquires its inventory in several ways, striving to get top quality equipment at the lowest prices possible in order to pass our savings along to our customers. The equipment is brand new, unless otherwise noted, and meets all current safety standards. Some of the equipment is prior seasons models with older cosmetics offered at substantial savings. Most of the equipment is backed by the manufacturer's warranty with the exception of some of the older inventory.

The inventory is constantly changing as we purchase liquidations and closeouts and receive shipments from our suppliers. Extremely hot items have been known to sell out in only a few days as quantities may be limited. Should you see something you want - order it quickly to avoid disappointment should the item sell out. If you don't see what you want or have questions about a listed product, please ask us. Our goal is to provide the customer with the right equipment at the best price. Prices may also vary depending on size or color of an item. The drop down menu will have the actual price of the product you are ordering and that price will also show at checkout and on your order confirmation.

Check back often as we will be adding inventory whenever available. Or sign up for our mailing list to receive updates when changes are made to our inventory. This mailing list will not be distributed.

Our staff understands that at times your purchase may need to be returned or exchanged for various reasons. We try to make this process simple for you but we do have conditions that must be followed.

Purchases may be returned for an exchange or refund for any reason as long as Al's Ski Barn is notified by either phone (877-865-0740) or email via our contact form, for a Return Authorization Number within 10 days of receipt. The product needs to be in its original "new" condition, in it's original factory packaging with all instructions, tags, and accessories. Items returned not meeting these conditions could be charged, at the discretion of our staff, a minimum re-stocking fee of 10% or deemed ineligible for return and customer will be responsible for all return shipping costs (meaning if it is not eligible for a return you are responsible for paying to get the item back to you). We Do Not accept any product that has been used. Items received back over 30 Days from time of purchase may be eligible for a Store Credit minus 25%. We typically do not give refunds past 30 Days except in special circumstances. Return shipping is the responsibility of the consumer.

All returns must be received back in our warehouse within 20 days of original receipt date. All returns are for exchange or credit via the original method of payment. All credits are issued within 1-3 business days upon receipt at Al's, and you will be notified by email of the credit; though once credit is issued, it takes 3-4 days to appear on your statement due to processing delays of the credit card companies. Credits are for the original purchase price less original shipping, if applicable. We will not refund money used for Gift Certificates, you will have a Store Credit for the amount used on the purchase. A restocking fee of up to 25% will be charged on all skis that were mounted by us and returned for credit or exchange, that do not involve an integrated binding system (i.e. we had to drill to mount the bindings) or any item returned beyond the above stated time frames. We will not accept any returns on skis that were mounted with special mounting instructions, for example any ski/binding mounted anywhere other than Factory will not be accepted for return. All packages refused by customers will be charged the return shipping charges and customers are responsible for all return shipping charges to Al's. Non system skis mounted by another shop are not eligible for return/exchange. System skis that have been mounted by our staff are subject to a restocking fee of $30 if being returned for a refund.

Returned product that qualified for free shipping is subject to original shipping charges. In the event of shipping errors by Al's, a pre-paid return label will be supplied to you for the return shipment. Every manufacturer is responsible for the length they determine their skis to be, and every brand does it differently even with in the same model. Manufacturers also reserve the right to change graphic according to size and they may also, (in an effort to reduce, reuse, recycle) use opposite color base material from what they show in their catalog and what we show on our site.
