Yes
No, they do not carry snow skis anymore. They stopped selling them before last winter (2018-19) and say they don't plan to start anytime soon. So, they stopped at the same time Herb Bauer went out of business -- so to nearby ski resorts and no ski shop within 80 miles of Fresno. I think the closest one is in Turlock. It's really sad to go in on a weekend and see so may people looking for equipment and REI virtually standing in the way of people getting outdoors. I guess it shows that down deep, they are just another big box store. Here is REI's statement on who they are. It's sad they can't live up to it in Fresno. "We bring you top-quality gear and apparel, expert advice, rental equipment, inspiring stories of life outside and outdoor experiences to enjoy alone or share with your friends and family. And because we have no shareholders, with every purchase you make with REI, you are choosing to steward the outdoors, support sustainable business and help the fight for life outside."
