theres not much in the burlington area, if you head into like the madriver valley, they have pure, vt north and the alpine shop. those are pretty nice and only like 45 minutes from b-town
i hate to say it since its a snowboard shop but 802 is better than any other shop in burlington as far as clothing and outerwear goes, its also super chill with an xbox and projector. but alpine shop is the best as far as skis
gotta wait a few months till all the shops get in their winter gear. But my fav. is Alpine Shop. They have a good selection of skis and a few guys in there who actually know something about skiing. Stowe has a lot of ski shops so that's a good place to check out...but be ready to pay top dollar.
the burton factory shop is close, they have some sick gear sometimes. and alpine shjop will rip u off dont go there. i hate those guys. ski rack might have some good shit cuz they just had their summer sale.
