BIG question

From the truckee perspective, variety, most 'core' shops only carry a couple of brands. If you carried every twin made by salomon, rossi, 4frnt, armada, and line i think you'd have a good start. I see those as the most dominate twin companies for skiers in the west. Obviously that's a tough demand. Also I you carry race stock bindings, I can't think of any shops that carry over 12 din bindings.

And it would be super cool if you carried the hard to find fatties, spatulas (what's left of them), Bro models, that sort of thing

i agree with race stock bindings, but as a start up it would be har to carry salomon and volkl and all of the larger companies from a cash flow perspective while still trying to carry the best outerwear and tactical gear and maintaining a strictly freestyle image. and yes it would carry snowboard gear/equipment to and hopefully if we can get a big enough space there will be full service/maintenece. I am flying out in two weeks to check out a few locations on the North and South shore, and will have more info then.

I think north shore would be a better location business wise, plus i like the mountains better, minus kirkwood, but that's not exactly south shore.
