They also sell skis and apparel to people that live in South America or go to ski there that travel through Miami. It's kind of funny to see people at the MIA airport checking in skis in July/August when it's 95F outside.

...if you are looking for an out of the way sorta ski shop then there is Bill Jackson's in Pinellas Park, FL
– Ski deck. In our seasonal Ski Shop, we have a rotating carpeted slope, where we offer ski lessons.
I like the sign on the bottom, "Family owned and operated since 1946". Bet they sold WWII 10th Mountain Division surplus back in the day; among my first skis...not much attention paid to little tyke's ski sizing!
Keep driving past Red Rooster north on 22 and stop at Big W's BBQ in Dover Plains - really, really good!Yes. They seem to have expanded some. Nothing real big.
Not far away right off 22 in Dover Plains they built a $1.6billion power plant. Cricket Valley Energy Center. Just opened.
Cricket Valley Energy Center, Dover, New York
Cricket Valley Energy Center (CVEC) is a natural gas-fired power plant in Dover, New York. It is the most efficient combined cycle power plant in the state.www.power-technology.com

Thanks. Usually too mesmerized by the Cuckoos Nest on the other side.
Imagine going to a college in a former state psychiatric hospital.
Yup, and if you keep going north on 22, there's the Round Tuit and the Burger Den, both good.
I was told that Crickett Valley and the new powerplant west on Rt. 84 near exit 3 were needed to replace the power lost by closing Indian Point.
I live about 10 minutes from Ski Haus in Brewster. They have knowledgeable staff and great selection. I've lived in the area for 32 years and it was here when I got here.
There are a couple of shops in Kansas. Our local one in Wichita isnt bad for being in the flat lands and he is now going to carry Icelantic. The only other ones I am aware of are in the KC area.

I don't remember the name, but decades ago there was a ski/tennis shop in Toronto where I bought my first pair of plastic boots (I told you it was long ago), sold to me by the partner who was the tennis expert. It turned out that the ski guy taught the tennis guy to fit ski boots so the ski guy could be out on the slopes skiing with customers. And in summer the tennis guy was out on court while the ski guy was at the shop stringing and selling tennis rackets.

It’s on the well trodden path to Killington, so not obscure.
Peak Performance ski shop has just changed hands. Fred Coriell, who owned it for decades, died a couple years ago. Great guy, had a hand in many, many junior racers in the area. He was always interested to hear how they were doing years later.
Hoping the new owners keep up the quality.
—————
The new owners of Peak Performance are Kelly and Randy Bair, who moved to Killington a year and a half ago. They previously resided in New Jersey.
Randy works in corporate finance and Kelly performs market research. They have been visiting Killington for nearly 20 years and have taught both of their children, Isabel,11, and Oliver, 7, to ski on the mountain as well instructed for the resort at various times. They’re members of the Killington Ski Club with both children participating in the Alpine program. It was that experience that ultimately led the Bairs to Peak Performance as customers — a relationship that began close to five years ago.

Somebody should do ski shop/brewery. Would be a marvelous way to break down buyer resistance.
The staff at my local shop posts what they're drinking...
Does that count?
For a minute I thought I was reading the joke thread.
I think you mean Mt Hood Alpine Racing Center (Mt Hood ARC) Bob Olsen owner. http://www.mthoodarc.com/
I was astonished when I bought bindings there and they charged me $75 to mount them on the skis I already owned.
Should have gone to Potter Brothers, 1/2 hour away. It would have been free.
Disclaimer: I just got a weekend job at Potter Bros.
There is one in Colorado. I am forgetting the name at the moment. @SkiNurse shops there.
She probably put them up to it.
"Was" being the operative word, since they have been absorbed into the Buckmans universe. Seems they're quickly becoming the only game in town for a lot of people in the SE PA area
