yes/no demoing means u need to ski which means u need to wait till the season already started. it takes too long to buy them and mount and u lose time of actual skiing.

Whistler/Thredbo

3.) How frequently do you purchase equipment or apparel?
As Much as possible, so a few times a year

4.) What type of skiing/snowboarding do you do (i.e. powder, park, freeride)?
everything

AS above

sometimes myself sometimes others

8.) When you walk into a store do you like being helped right away or do you like when people are standing in an area in the store wher the product is?

I like when people are associated with certain products it tends to mean that they know more about the product they are selling.

9.) Would you like a more traditional store (just the products) or a more home-feeling store (t.v.'s with movies, couches, food and drinks, and music)? Why or why not?

Everything like t.v's and stuff are good it creates a friendlier store which you know you can come in and buy stuff and hang around and talk and stuff while the person you are with i.e girlfriend or non skiing frind can amuse herself infront of the t.v

10.) Would you like to fully demo the equipment before you buy, so you know what you are getting?

Yeah it is nice to but its a hassle you just cant be bothered sometimes and you often know what you want before you head in anyway when it comes to skiing. The problem with letting people demo stuff it can lead to alot of waste, not only in resources but time and money.

1.) How far would you travel to go purchase ski/snowboard equipment? 1 hour.

2.) What resort/mountain do you normally ski/snowboard at? Bromont, QC.

3.) How frequently do you purchase equipment or apparel? Once a year.

4.) What type of skiing/snowboarding do you do (i.e. powder, park, freeride)? Almost everything.

5.) What brands of ski/snowboards would you like to see in the store? As Many as possible.

6.) What brand of apparel would you like to see in the store? As Many as possible.

7.) Do you get your skis/snowboards mounted and tuned at a shop or do you do it yourself? Mounted and tuned at the shop.

8.) When you walk into a store do you like being helped right away or do you like when people are standing in an area in the store where the product is? Let the customer look around a bit, and when they start to focus on a particular area, have knowledgeable employees approach.

9.) Would you like a more traditional store (just the products) or a more home-feeling store (t.v.'s with movies, couches, food and drinks, and music)? Why or why not? Traditional, but maybe a TV that plays X-Games footage, and videos. No couches though, or people might just linger to watch.

10.) Would you like to fully demo the equipment before you buy, so you know what you are getting? Demos are good, but hard to do unless you’re right on the Mountain. Make it possible for easy return for cash/store credit, or product of equal/lesser value.

Other Comments- Really hope this helps. Good shops with employees who know what they are talking about and are friendly are really needed these days.

1.) How far would you travel to go purchase ski/snowboard equipment?

- 2 hours or so, gas is expensive.

2.) What resort/mountain do you normally ski/snowboard at?

- Shames Mountain, located near Terrace, British Columbia, Canada.

3.) How frequently do you purchase equipment or apparel?

- Once or twice per year.

4.) What type of skiing/snowboarding do you do (i.e. powder, park, freeride)?

- All three, more emphasis on powder.

5.) What brands of ski/snowboards would yo like to see in the store?

- Doesn't matter, I'll buy the brands a store carries if I support the store. All equipment has its purpose.

6.) What brand of apparel would you like to see in the store/

- Same as above.

7.) Do you get your skis/snowboards mounted and tuned at a shop or do you do it yourself?

- Mounted/tuned at a shop, wax 'em myself.

8.) When you walk into a store do you like being helped right away or do you like when people are standing in an area in the store wher the product is?

- I like small stores with the person behind the desk who just says hi when you come in, bye when you leave, may ask if you need help when you're looking around, and is there to help you when you need it.

9.) Would you like a more traditional store (just the products) or a more home-feeling store (t.v.'s with movies, couches, food and drinks, and music)? Why or why not?

- HOME FEELING STORE. This is a hard thing to do, though, because you don't want the customers to feel like they're freeloading.

10.) Would you like to fully demo the equipment before you buy, so you know what you are getting?

- Would be cool, but not essential. Having a couple pairs of demo skis ready would be nice.

1.) 20 min

2.) Mt. Hood Meadows, OR

3.) 2-3 times a season

4.) freeride, park

5.) Armada, Line, 4FRNT, Ninthward, Dynastar, Volkl, K2

6.) Helly Hansen, Orage, Siver Cartel, Fate

7.) Mounted at the shop, tuned myself

8.) Usually being helped right away pisses me off. Let the employees chill and read a magazine or something, and when I need them, I'll ask.

9.) Definitely the more chill store with a lounge sort of area, always with a ski movie on. It's great for your customers because our sport is as much a lifestyle off the hill as on, so it's cool to hang out and shoot the shit with other skiers. its great for you because if there are kids coming to the shop every day after school to read the new mags or watch the new films, then their moms will know where to buy the christmas presents.

10.) Demos are an absolute must.

Would you like a more traditional store (just the products), as i find a more home-feeling store (t.v.'s with movies, couches, food and drinks, and music) attracts a group of people who come to just hang-out, it makes me uncomfortable in the store to be shopping in what seems to be another person 'den'. I wont bye stuff.

10.) Of course

Yes

Other Comments- I think you have the right idea going on...keep at it...make sure you like what your doing and something like this would be so sweet...make sure its in a marketable area and make sure there is a big population for the need of what you are trying to sell.
