The passionate sportsfolk at Boston Ski + Tennis prepare patrons for the slopes or courts with equipment tune-ups and boot-fitting services and outfit bodies with apparel and equipment for both sports. Staffers apply wax or olive oil to ski bottoms ($25) to help them glide over snowy runs and regrip tennis rackets to make them feel new and comfortable ($10+). Alternately, the team can fit patrons in a pair of Babolat V-Pro lady tennis shoes, which improve lateral stop and start functionality and come with a six-month outsole wear guarantee ($85). Apparel from Obermeyer, Marmot, and Sessions, including ski jackets, snow pants, and mid and base layers, deck the stores, affording guests the opportunity to imitate their favorite nesting Russian dolls as they don or strip off layers.

Boston Ski + Tennis’ prices vary based on location.
