Snow has two positive uses: it can be used to build snow-jurors when neighbours don't show up to serve in a non-binding apartment court, and you can ski on it. Make the latter possible with today's Groupon: for $49, you get $100 worth of ski gear, snowboarding gear, and more at West Coast Sports, located on West 4th Avenue. West Coast Sports deals in gear for a variety of outdoor adventuring, from skateboarding to surfing, backpacking, inline skating, snowboarding, and more. Carve up mountain icing in style with goggles from brands like Burton and Bern ($29–$179) or jackets from Scott, Powder Room, or CTO ($79–$299). West Coast Sports also boasts a wide selection of inline skates from K2 and Rollerblade, as well as a variety of tents, tennis equipment, water skis, camping equipment, orc repellent, and hiking and backpacking gear.
