Yeah, Larry carries both Garmont and Scarpa, and a bunch of skis (dunno what).
Used to spend a lot of time there in the 80's drinking beer and watching slide shows. Sucks to hear they are treating people like this.
Bump
This is funny. I just ran across this forum and had to laugh. I laughed because i was there the night this whole thing went down.
I was in the boot area getting my new Spirit 4's molded the whole time this adimmen guy was there. Adimmen came in with his big reverse camber spatula looking skis and TLT bindings. He had such an attitude and was only concerned with bashing on the guy's working there. Adimmen didn't make it clear that his boots were on hold there and they didn't have his size in back. Once adimmen stopped being so sarcastic and bashing the guy he finally figured out they were on some hold shelf somewhere else. While the guy went in back to get his boots adimmen got on his phone to tell someone, in a loud manner, that these guys suck. Everyone in the boot area could hear him cussing.
The neptune guy came back with the boots and adimmen was just awful to him and kept demanding to get the next size down but they didn't have it. The neptune guy was trying to get his info on the ski ticket for shop work and adimmen would not give him his correct height and weight. Adimmen just kept saying to put it down like that because he didn't want to prerelease. Adimmen, don't you know you can set your own din's???
Well, all i know is adimmen was a true ass and i and all the other customers were surprised that the neptune guy took all his crap. By the way, when adimmen left the store all the customers and the guy's working there just laughed at what a front range poser this guy was.
Also, Bent Gate truly does suck. My girlfriend went in there last year to get sized for some spirit 3's. She's a size 9 women's. At least 5 guy's in there said she a was a 27.5. I could get 4 finger's behind the heel. They've mismounted my dynafit's on my goode ski's not knowing to mount the spirit's to dynafit differently. They didn't want to work with me on the mismount. I also tried to get info on a climb in clear creek canyon and no one in there could help me. Shouldn't they know, it's their backyard?
Adimmen, i'm glad they banned you from the store. You were a true prick and you deserved it. It's people like you that need to shop online. Now go take your big poser ski's and ski loveland pass with the other loser's that don't want to hike and earn their turns.
Wow. Even if this is true it still doesn't change the fact that there are hundreds of people who think Neptune Mountaineering is worthless. Including myself. I guess that makes me a front range poseur.
Wow, all you fuckwads from Neptune Mountaineering really have no clue what customer service is. Do you think maybe you should apologize and stop creating aliases to lie about the events that occurred? As said before, it is kinda strange that you were in the store the same time adimmen was, happened to overhear everything, and then happened to randomly stumble on this forum and this thread. Post then smoke crack douchenozzle...:cussing:
Edit: BTW, bumping this thread just allows more people to see it. You are some dumb motherfuckers!
Interesting concept. Big skis=poser. I didn't know that was the case.Quote:

I shouldn't even waste my time replying but you are flat out lying and are obviously a Neptune employee. I would think you guys would mix up the story a bit. You know, throw in some guy trying on leathers or maybe even a Megaride.
Your need to insult me as a front range poser and a guy who doesn't like to hike are comical but so clearly your modus operandi. Nice touch insulting Bent Gate along the way.
It is clear you still haven't learned anything from this response. You need to read up on the first rule of holes. Stop digging!
I never cussed and only whipped out my cell phone when the salesman wouldn't stop bugging me with asinine questions like are those water skis, you don't need skis that fat, you don't need boots that stiff, etc. I absolutely never cursed but was a smartass.
I also didn't give the boot tech my wrong weight. I wrote down 190 pounds because that is what I weigh when I step out the door for a typical tour.
MAN! What a coincidence! You just happened to run across this thread, and happened to be there in the boot fitting area that night!
It's all clear to me now, All these people who have shared these bad experiences are all wrong, and you are right! Thanks for clearing that up for me.
JONG - You're doing it wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's gotta be good for sales.
ps members of this board work at the bent gate, i am sure they'll be amused by your weak attempt at bashing. yeah they show ski movies there too.
another vote for a guy that has never step foot in neptune and never will.
next up: google bomb. everyone do a few google searches for "neptune mountaineering sucks"
should be in the top 10 by days end.
Got an email back from Neptune that I had sent them with a link to this thread. How dare you call someone an idiot right to their face adimmen!

We are getting a lot of emails about this. FYI, this guy did lose it in our store, calling the staff idiots, right to one employees face. It was pretty bad. I have been here ten years, and I have never seen a customer treat the staff like that. It’s sad, and again, thanks for the heads up.

Maybe you should figure out why he "lost it" and try to correct the problem vs. being a pussy by hiding behind an alias.

Hey Adimmen, why do you have those ski's anyway????
I spoke to a buddy of mine, who heli guides in Valdez, about those ski's. He said, why would anyone want to own a pair of those crap things. He said, we give those to our fat ass doctor and lawyer clients who think they can ski powder and can't.
He want's to know why you put dynafit's on them? You got a big boot and big ski why the little, din of 10, TLT binding. You're not actually going to skin up with those ski's are you??
He said, if anyone showed up on one of his trips with that set up he'd laugh his ass off.
By the way, i live in CB. I wouldn't live on the front range if you paid me. Being around you little girly weekend warriors on your day's off is bad enough. But don't stop bringing your cash. We, who live in the mountains, love your cash, or for adimmen his parents cash, and the laughs you give us.
If Neptune was smart, they would stop trying to dispute adimmen's story and start addressing the larger complaints in this thread. I wasn't there, and therefore I will never know exactly what went down between adimmen and the staff. But it doesn't much matter to me and many others, as Neptude has lost our business through a long history of poor CS. Yet all they can do is create aliases to try and discredit adimmen? Does anyone there realize that isn't the point?
Damn, this is fun. I should have posted on this site years ago.
Jesus Fucking Christ! The vendetta against this shop has got to stop! A few people had bad experiences there, so what. Don't go there if you don't like them. TGR has the power to crucify Neptune in public. Why we need to do this is beyond me. We can really hurt their business with what we are doing here, or not. Let it fucking go, this is not who we are. This board helps people with cancer, spreads stoke, and brings skiers together. Keep it that way.:cussing: I'm dissapointed.
That makes sense, its really whatever you like to use. I was just noted that's the second time I've seen this guy write that he or his friends would out ski or out rando someone. Its funny. Anyway, by some of what I've seen, in another life you could exchange the word Neptune for Maggots.
Like I told many people in PMs, I almost didn't post this thread. I was willing to let it slide until they called to ban me for life. In hindsight, posting was the right decision. They can't make a single post without insulting me, their competitors, or the countless people who replied to this thread. It shows their true nature. They think they are better than us.
You little scumbag! I got your name, I got your ass! You will not laugh, you will not cry, you will learn CUSTOMER SERVICE by the numbers, I will teach you! Now get up! Get on your feet! You had best unfuck yourself before I unscrew your head and shit down your neck!
1. You do not LIE about your customers.
Nobody believes your Neptude propoganda BULLSHIT, JONG.
Trackhead..... i'm sure you do regularly ski with a guy that skis reverse camber fat ski's. His name is adimmen. You guy's are the laughing stock of the backcountry.
Hey adimmen, even people from CB make it to the front range to do a little christmas shopping. What's weird was i didn't see you in the mall hucking big air off that fake rock cliff they have. You must have been car skiing the bump runs of loveland pass with your buddy trackhead.
Why in god's name do you feel a need to assert your superiority in this situation? You must realize that you are in fact doing a disservice to the store you claim to support. As you appear to be nothing more than an arrogant asshole whose demeanor is on par with that of the OP.
While I am almost certain that the original poster acted in a manner that was at the very least unprofessional, and at the very worst bordering on verbal assault, this thread has become a different animal entirely. The fact that a great number of people have felt slighted by the salespeople at Neptune should serve as an impetus to store management to stress customer service in their daily interactions with customers. Instead, employees have taken what should have been an opportunity to set the record straight and chose to castigate an entire community. Even if the store was correct in banning the customer, their non response is puzzling.
2. It is NOT 1990. We are not skiing 230cm DH boards for powder. McConkey showed us the way to fat skis in the 90s. He then showed us the way to reverse reverse. You WILL respect him. He is on TV this morning not you. This place knows more about skis that you ever will learn calling up your has been friend, JONG. There are more reverse camber owners here than anywhere else on the planet. If you attack your experienced clientel's gear choices as stupid, you will drive them away as customers. Do you get me?
I'm actually not fit enough to skin with heavy Fritschi's/Naxo's/Dukes. I have TLT's on Dynafit FR10 because I'm fat, slow, and old.
But some of these younger guys, they can tour all day on heavy gear. From time to time we tour with them.......and they continually prove that you don't need the typical sissy stick to tour all day and get shit done.
I'm glad my laughing stock could provide the CORE BACKCOUNTRY HARDMEN some entertainment this morning.
Pardon me now, as I rendevous for my hardcore SLC Alpine Start at the crack of 9:30 am. We are going to go crush some 20 degree meadows and probably crank out an amazing 1,000ft of climbing today.
Trackhead the laughing stock of the backcountry?? That is quite possibly the funniest thing I have read in quite a while.
I will now put you on ignore, as you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, and I have no desire to read the posts of another CB dirtbag who will never amount to anything.
Headcase22 = obvious troll. Do not fall for it.
I think it's better than STALKING them on internet fora and posting what you THINK is a funny, clever, snarky reply. After all, it is you and wolter and the rest of the trolling Neptunian (ur)Anuses who think you are such fucking badass mountaineers and skiers. The challenge is logical. What's not logical is your stalking and trolling.
Man this guy knows a guy who heli guides in Valdez. Has anyone gotten to touch this guy yet. I mean the best I know is a guy who knows a guy who got guided in Valdez.
What is this grade 6 what a fucking tool!
This whole thing reminds me of the whole Cupolo's storm over at Epic a few years back. Idiots piping in to defend a store for totally indefensible behaviour, doing it in an inappropriate way and just making the place look worse at every turn.
