Willi’s Ski & Board — Seven Springs

777 Water Wheel Drive, Champion; Seven Springs branch

Boot FittingTuningDemos

Willi’s Seven Springs shop in Champion offers boot fitting and ski/board tuning, with ski and liner demos listed at this branch. It is a separate shop trip from Hidden Valley.

Why we like it

A nearby equipment-service option when boot fit or tuning matters more than onsite pickup. Call the Seven Springs shop to plan the work or demo you need before making the journey.
