Hey im visiting my grandparents in Toronto for 10 days (im here till the Aug 10th) I was just wondering if there are any cool ski shops to hit. Also if there are any street wear shops I should check out. Thanks

adrift is a pretty decent skate shop in toronto, it is literally right beside livestock. If you want stuff that isn't so expensive da-zone is nearby there, on queen about halfway in between bathurst and spadina, it's name changed though and I can't remember what it is now. There's also so hip it hurts on queen about 2 blocks east of spadina, it's a cool shop but a bit overpriced. The new era store is cool too, you've probably been to one before but obviously the toronto one would have some toronto only stuff

as for ski shops there isn't much downtown, hogtown sells snowboard stuff, and they have outwear but it smells and is expensive and the staff is generally pretty rude.

Anyways good luck!

nomad is pretty sick from what i've heard

also check out noise at queen and John, like right beside the much building you cant miss it. Then there's Black Market which is also pretty legit, i get a bunch of stuff there and it's dirt cheap, kinda like really hip though so you might not be into it.

noise got super weird, they now force all their employees to talk to you non-stop while you shop it's the most annoying thing i've ever experienced. I walked out in the middle of the girl talking to me last time

the oakville store is wayyy better then the barrie one. They always have a big bin full of old movies for $5 too. But yeah they always got movies.
