S&W Sports in Concord

Hey guys, I'm trying to help out S&W here.  It seems like people like to buy their boots and apparel there but not skis.  What is it that makes you not want to buy skis there?  What skis would you like to see there that you would be willing to buy?  Would some kind of discount make you more inclined to buy the skis? 

It's stuff like this I need to find out and if anyone could help me out it'd be much appreciated.  I was thinking of maybe trying to get Bluehouse skis there.  I have a pair of antics and love them and I'm sure other people would too.

i think a lot of people here buy used skis form the buy sell trade forum or from websites like gear trade. personally after i discovered some of the deals there are to be had i dont think i will ever buy skis from a shop again. but that being said, i think a lot of people are looking to buy from the smaller companies (moment, surface, on3p, etc.) so getting bluehouse in the shop might not be a bad idea.

Yeah, I understand everything with the only deals if you're really strapped for cash.  ON3P was another company I was thinking about too.  I know I really don't like buying big brand name skis anymore.  Maybe to have a lineup of like ON3P, Bluehouse, Volkl, and Line?

that would be sick. but the only problem is on3p has a more powder oriented line up which may not be all that profitable here on the east coast. if possible i think you're better off going with moment giving their variety of park/all mountain skis along with their pow skis

True. but I think we'd just be looking to get like one pair of parks ski. not their whole line.  Along with moment maybe surface. or ninthward?
