Hey newschoolers, I was wondering what you guys think is the best freeski shop in western US/Canada?

For me it would have to be FRESH sports beacuse I live in calgary and no other shops can beat it in the area. I really dont know if any other shop could beat it though. Maybe you guys can prove me wrong.

The cage at Woodward at copper is a cool store, although they don't sell actual skis.

Yeah they sell apparel, skateboards, goggles, gopros, gloves, helmets and other stuff. They also have a lounge and a mini-bowl for skating cool thread by the way, I am interested to see some cool shops!

sadly Porters is struggling, and only the Truckee store still exists this May... hopefully it works out. They've done a lot to help local Tahoe athletes and support comp's for a long time.... pour some out for Porters.

Slopestyle in Breck is so sick. Tons of nice guys with good and small companies gear. It's basically a shop for all newschoolers.

"best shop in the west" is a pretty odd thing to ask. the "west" is pretty big. and everyones just going to say their local shop is better. basically this thread is pointless.

I live in ontario and know that fresh is a legit store because i bought something online from them sort of, there was a shipping error and they fixed it by sending me what i really wanted (a size bigger) and a shirt hat and bandana

I agree, and I actually like Fresh more overall, having bought lots of gear from both. Fresh doesn't often have very good prices though, except for their sale in the fall.
