McEwings is a ski and snowboard gear shop at The Chalet, 87 Main Street, Methven, in the Ashburton district. The shop has gear for winter slopes and summer water, and its range includes ski rental, snowboarding gear, boots and snow gear. The website says customers can shop online, with shipping, taxes and discount codes worked out at checkout, or visit the Methven store. Reviewers mention ski rental, ski boot fitting and good gear most often, and one says the rental gear is good quality at a very reasonable price.
Reviewers praise the staff for going out of their way. One skier had boots fitted overseas that hurt their feet, and says a staff member found the problem was in the insoles and fixed it, so they skied pain free the next day. Another, whose short trip did not go to plan, says the team looked after them well. A third arrived for a week's skiing with boots that had been fitted in Auckland and were unusable, and says the staff helped them through it. Reviewers describe the team as caring, friendly and accommodating, with a good vibe.
