Silver Star Ski & Sport: A Neighborhood-Driven Experience
Silver Star Ski & Sport, in operation since 2008, emphasizes a community-centered atmosphere, providing an “authentic vibe” for locals and visitors alike, according to Todd Fischer, the owner. Fischer, who started the business in 2008 and then bought it outright in 2014, prioritizes customer service and fitting customers with the right equipment for their experience level.
“The goal is to make sure our guests have the right gear and leave with a smile,” Fischer said. Located within a unique development that also includes housing and local businesses, Silver Star emphasizes the importance of community. Fischer described the shop as a place where employees are passionate about the sport, often taking “lunch laps” on the mountain to reenergize during busy days. The shop offers a variety of top-brand gear, from Rossignol to Volkl, and prides itself on high-quality tuning and repair services.
From Ski Valet’s personalized approach, Aloha’s convenient options for families, to Silver Star’s community atmosphere, Park City’s rental services strive to make visitors’ ski experiences memorable and hassle-free.
