Hey guys I am doing a project for school where I have to design my own store and I have chosen to do a ski/bike shop in Vancouver and I am just looking to get peoples opinions on what brands are not offered in vancouver to buy retail that could easily be brought to vancouver. Jiberish, Saga and Surface come to mind right away for me but I am wondering also how much of a market there actually is for those even? Any information/feedback helps!

Cheers,

Given that comor and snowcovers are the only ski stores in Vancouver the selection is pretty limited, especially for park skis . Would be nice to see ON3P and Faction in van, it's really lacking a "local vibe" ski store

Faction is sold on 4th, can't remember the stores name, but it is by the granivillr bridge exit that leads on to 4th, prices seemed fair as well

Check out North Shore Ski & Board. Pretty chill people working there and have a decent selection for freeride/freestyle skis. Not sure if they have faction/on3p though.
