if you can't find gear at a ski shop, tell the ski shop you're going to a snowboard/skate shop cause they don't have what you want. they'll have sessions, volcom, etc. in co. we've got franchised stores like BC SurfnSkate, Zoomies, etc. They've always got really nice styley stuff. don't buy on the net - you're bound to have a hard time finding the right size. for example, volcom stuff fits really big! usually i buy a medium pant, but with volcom a medium feels like a large from everybody else.
