END OF SEASON SALE, ALL 2024 GEAR ON SALE NOW

Beginning in March the question 'What do you guys do in the Summer?' really starts ramping up, come April it's asked dozens of times per hour the store is open.  Sometimes the question is followed up with 'You know what you should do, sell (insert niche sporting gear of choice)'... 

The question is sometimes asked with a condescending smug look, or a jaunty type attitude… On the flipside, the question is also sometimes asked out of general concern for our well being, and will immediately be followed up with some out-of-left field (that’s a baseball reference) solution to the perceived problems that are apparently leading to our seasonal demise…

IMAGINE THIS...

What if I just randomly walked into your workplace with my boy Tommy O’(insert any irish last name) from Boston and with an aggressive looking grin I was like, “What does your office do for money outside of the 9 to 5, Monday thru Friday?”, Or “This seems like a pretty big office to only be open for 40 hours a week?”, Or “Wow, this is a really nice building how much do you guys pay in rent?”... And before you can even answer, I’m tapping big Tommy on the shoulder and pointing at you with a giant get-a-load-of-this-guy smirk on my face…

I’m sorry, I went a little off the rails there. BUT as you can tell by my excitability in the last few sentences, you should now have a better understanding of how often and recurring the now infamous question is asked. 

“What do you guys do in the summer?” 

The truth is that summer time here in Boston is pretty friggin’ awesome! And while we appreciate all of the curiosity and/or concerns, we want to continue to stick to what we're good at and that is skiing and snowboarding and all that goes along with it. Summer is short, we have about 3 months to have a little fun doing non-ski things... In addition to getting everything online for your reading/ski-porn pleasure, we are also getting product ready for purchase both in-store and on the web.
