For another core shop like jibij. With all the mega dealers like backcountry, which dont get me wrong because i love backcountry, is there. I think that there is. something like an online dealer with a store front in a big time ski hub like boulder. My dad and I were kickin around Ideas and wanted to know what NS thought. Would you guys appreciate a new shop just like jibij. One that carries hard to get and core brands as well as the favorites. Give me some feed back.

yes, but good luck getting it going, the owner of jibji, was one hell of a entrepreneur, to at the age of 19, when most kids just want to get drunk and slam pussy, dedicate himself to making a shop for everybody, he wasnt thinking about this weekends party, he was thinking about how he was gonna afford everything, finances, work issues, and much much more. starting a business is hard as hell, and its gonna be tougher, jibji might have gone under because of online business like that, but it was a great idea and i wish it worked out better.

If you do go through with it, I think you can buy the name Jibij from Josh Bryant, and continue the short lived legacy.  If you are in Boulder like I asked earlier, there is a huge old Ace Hardware building near the Erie Safeway that is waiting for a renter.

Everyone says they love core shop yet they buy all their shit for cheaper online. I never buy my shit online and it's easy to find deals at your local core shop at the end of the season and they usually can hook you up if you buy a bunch of stuff. Support your core shops kids.

Ya starting a business would be hella hard but I definitely have the will power to do it and my dad is a businesss guru. Ive been to enough ski shops to know what not to do thats for sure and I would love to help the industry and do something I love doing. I know ill probably never be a pro skier but I like to think of the saying "never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about.," I think reincarnating a jibij would be a perfect way to do what I love. talk skiing with people that love it. And the issue with An ACE hardwear building is the cost of heating and lighting and what not that comes with a big building.
