Andy’s Sport Shop builds off four generations of expertise to match skiers, snowboarders, and scuba divers with high-quality gear from Volkl, Rossignol, Armada, and more. With the first option, grinding buffs away uneven texture and waxing protects and slicks the base of snowboards and skis, reducing friction that can melt the snow surface and limit traction while flying downhill.

Dodge snowy moguls and other abominable businessmen while speeding down a mountainside by tapping them with Atomic’s Uni unisex alpine poles ($29.95). Seeking relief from icy winds, necks snuggle into soft Turtle Fur balaclavas ($19.95) and arms pull on two-sided Hot Chillys La Montana fleeces ($60) to warm without adding bulk or restricting range of motion. A pair of swim fins ($30) effortlessly propels humans through coral reefs, whereas weight belts ($10) provide a body-sculpting alternative to pants with pockets full of cement. Andy’s knowledgeable staff assists everyone from loyal customers in a rush to get to the slopes to usually uptight employees looking for full scuba gear to wear to the next casual Friday. Andy’s Sport Shop also carries brands such as Volkl, Rossignol, Armada, Line, Nordica, Full Tilt, Karbon, and Obermeyer.
