anyone know any shops in vancouver which stil have stock from last season...?

i'd like to pick up some cheap stuff... this spring i looked for a pair of rossi fs wrs but couldnt find any in vancouver, so ended up getting ar6's at snowcovers on burrard and 2nd or 3rd or something like that... and still got 07 TM's too from destination ski & board...

i wanna see if any shops round van sell cheap stuff... any shops just dedicated to ski in van? or do they all do surf stuff in the summer or bike

Vancouver has no real sick ski store, its kinda homo. Comour counts, but...i just don't...sometimes they piss me off, and they still caryy more shitty skis than good skis. I guess there just isn't a market to support our sport.

Word, man.

We need a good ski store which is dedicated to the sport.

i like destination, the guys there are dope but, like every other ski shop in vancouver its stocked full of racing skis with like 2 twintips in the corner, lol. I think its got more twin tips than any other shop in vancouver though (minus comor).

yea, comor counts but its got loads of snowboards too. you know that westside boardroom? we need a shop like that except for skis.

Except that's never going to happen until A) the sport gets much bigger, or B) some idiot who enjoys losing piles and piles of cash opens a shop. Especially considering what kids on here think is a "good deal" for skis... everyone basically thinks they should get proform apparently.

^^holy shit thats the longest ns post ive ever seen and you made a few really good points


maybe its just me but id kinda like skiing to stay the small sport that most people think is wierd and kinda funny like it was when i started more then a mainstream kinda thing like snowboarding. unfortunatly thanks to ns thats not likely gonna happen
