Probably because of all the jackets, especially those gorrilla steeze fluffy ones. Wonder what it would be like to ski on burnt skis, you should try to get some

jiberish does not burn. The high quality cotton is not flammable

mainly because of the electronic equipment, eg grinders, edgers and of course heaters for footbed moulding etc.

ive been to a few pre season bonfires where we've sacrificed old and no good skis and snowboards to the gods to bring forth a god forsaken shit storm of snow and i can tell you it smells A LOT.. and i mean it stinks pretty damn bad..

As much as it sucks for a ski shop to burn down, if you live in north conway their should be plenty of other nearby stores.
