sexkitten Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 It depends on when you buy. If you want a deal and can wait, Wicks in Exton, PA has great off season sales. We got skis last year for 75% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkSnow Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 While I've never puchased from The Ski Bum, I've heard great things from members of this site about them. I know several people from here have gotten things there and were very pleased. Also, in dealing with Duane, he's a very good guy and willing to help people out.

Philpug Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 For ski gear in general - either let me know or call the CHadds ford shop ask for duane mention PASR or me.. Duane helped me with some Volkl's for my wife his price was as good as any internet price I could find. It is worth at least a call or PM to him.

jveix33 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I've had great deals at Nestor's. Although maybe I'll try this Duane guy everyone's talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volklyokel Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 For those further west and in southern PA or in Maryland, don't neglect visiting these two places: Ed's Ski & Cycle in York, PA and The Ski Shoppe Limited in Reisterstown, MD (No web site that I can find. When you visit, ask for Van.) Volklyokel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philpug Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I got some volant Fat Bastards at Sports Authority for $120.00, they were $800.00 origonaly. Even on pro-forms they were about $400.00. $120.00 is real cheap for a fat ski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sno Mountain Skier Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Where did you get those at and what brand were they, sean? I got them at Bear Creek Ski Schack, it is on the acess road to Montage. And they were Nordica that were marked down from $350 to $59. They run good deals on boots for the first month they are open.

Even on pro-forms they were about $400.00. $120.00 is real cheap for a fat ski. Last year they had a huge tent sale for about a month, atleast at the whitehall store. They had so many different kinds of skis, boards, and other gear. They even had a pair of GS:9's which I was going to get but when I went back they were gone. Thats when I bought my K2 Axis XT's for $240. I remember they had volants and they were dirt cheap. Sean, sweet deal on those boots and they were even Nordicas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsong83 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 i like nestors but they dont have a store near me. just the one store on the way to blue mountain. buckmans is also nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Guess I missed this thread. Not really a fan of any of the stores around here. Nestors had some issues with when I got a pair of boots there, and when I go in there to look, there staff is also breathing down my neck. Buckmans seems like its lacking advanced stuff (atleast the one by me) Loft a bit pricey, more advanced gear, but still limited selection. Has that hot used ski rack tho.

Dan- Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) I just stick to my local Skate/Snowboard shop. Final Boarding. Freeridintre probably knows of them. Owner is real chill, and a good guy. Gotta support my local shop. Edited April 7, 2006 by Switch096 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your time in shops...I don't need snowboarders to come up to me and try to sell me a pair of Volkl 4 star skis...And if you are going to try to, atleast take off the snowboard boots...
