Fresh Air Experience

What visitors say

Fresh Air Experience is a family-run outdoor shop in Prince Albert that people happily drive in from Saskatoon for. Reviewers describe a well-stocked store with bikes, cross-country and downhill skis, snowboards, kayaks, snowshoes, camping gear and plenty of outdoor clothing and footwear.

The staff are the reason most people come back. Review after review calls them knowledgeable and friendly, and several shoppers point out that the people working there actually ski, ride the trails and paddle. Paddlers bought kayaks here and were impressed with the advice, and one customer credited the team with getting them properly outfitted for a canoe trip. Prices are called fair and competitive, and the 60/40 sale gets repeat mentions.

Service doesn't stop at the sale. Bike tune-ups and repairs come up often, with a couple of stories of staff staying late to finish a bike before a customer's trip. Families shopping for kids' ski and winter gear say they've been coming for years. It suits anyone gearing up for paddling, cycling or winter trips in the Prince Albert area.

A small number of visitors had a poorer experience, including one recent shopper who felt ignored by staff and an older, serious complaint about a family member being followed in the store. One cyclist also wanted more expert bike fitting given the price of high-end models. These are exceptions against a very strong overall record.
