Only shop in my area is Herb Bauer Sporting Goods and all I have them do is mount bindings.  Otherwise I just buy all my shit on the internet.  They have nothing I like at the shop, so I don't like them a whole lot.

Piste Off Ski Shop! All twintips, he runs right out of Sunday River, like literally a mile down the road. And it's one guy, Ben, who is just the most legit guy i've ever dealt with. Plus he stocks the sickest shit. All the armada skis, surface skis, moments, plus like the best orage and armada outerwear. And when you walk in you just get an awesome vibe and on the back wall hes got a huge 60" flatscreen that is always playing the newest movies. Its also the onyl place i've ever been in that you can buy Tinga's Hats!

ski exchange-nice people lots of different skis, they sell and buy used gearwhich is really handy for getting rid of your old stuff
ski haus-has way more jackets than skis, don't sell or buy used stuff

I like ski exhange way better. I have never bought from ski haus

Porters in truckee and tahoe city

but that's 180 miles away.

So I'll say that nor-ski and sports is the only ski shop in my area, and thus it's the most legit ski shop. Plus, they hooked me up with new skeezers when I broke my old ones

In my area meaning 10 minutes away, Scotties in whitby is good if you already know what you want to buy, but the service and prices suck dick.  they are the only shop around that carries Lines.  Plus, they tend to fuck up all possible mounting jobs.  The next shit shop is Kirby skis and boards in Oshawa, and they carry jack shit at high prices but have an extremely good ski tech and bootfitter.  so basically, i buy my skis from scotties or online, and get them mounted/fixed and buy boots at kirby.  but toronto has some nice shops, but i have no personal experience with them.
