Where can I buy nice skis and boots in LA?

http://www.skinetsports.com/





This small shop in West LA is a true enthusiast shop with a bona-fide bootfitter (Claude Swonger). Here you will find true high-end skis and boots, and the expertise to match you to the right stuff. No, I don't think they have the best prices. But far and away they are the most competent. No minimum-wage big-box store slaves (Sport Chalet, perhaps even REI) who might snowboard a little bit, yet try to pass themselves off as ski experts. At SkiNet, you have guys who were ex-racers, ex-race shop techs, and people like that.





Shops like this aren't that hard to find in major resort towns (Jackson Hole, Truckee, etc.), but it's definitely very hard to find in LA.
