ski barn and princeton are the ones that are closest to wayne and best, but pelican beats any ski shop in new jersey, its about 30-40 minutes away from wayne
N/A no "core" shops here, just like 3 bike shops that have ski stuff in the summer. I take that back, PHD skis but its kinda a poop place and they only sell head and dynastar.
The shop i work at in edmonton alberta. Thats skiers sport shop, off whyte ave. If your in need of of some ski gear while your here come on by, ask for Nick(me) and tell me your on newschoolers.com, il see if i can get you a deal
umm here in mass it's summit ski shope in framingham I guess, pretty much the only one near my house to my knowledge that has armada and shit like that.
