Princeton (Columbia and Baltimore, MD),
Dicks (Gaithersburg, MD and Fair Oaks, VA), East of Maui (snowboards),
Powder Mountain (Lexington Park, MD), Alpine (Oakton
and Sterling, VA). Ski Plateau

Seven Springs) is in Fairfax, Va. Pit Crew sells snowboard
gear in downtown Frederick. MD. Delmarweb has a

Chantilly, VA, Baltimore Ski
Warehouse (Glen Burnie, MD) |
| Galyan's is a huge store that has a great selection of clothing, snowboards and
tuning/miscellaneous equipment. Sports Authority has low to medium quality stuff at great
prices, but don't expect in depth advice on equipment selection (also - their Ski
Authority sections are only open from fall through spring). Ski Chalet is a quality chain
that is usually staffed by the younger crowd. Their advice is good, but you may want to
hit the smaller shops for advice based on more experience. Did you know that
Hudson's Trail Outfitters carries Burton snow boards? |

USA promotes participation in many sports for people of many
disabilities. The national headquarters is based in Rockville, MD. They
sponsor adaptive equipment used for skiing and snowboarding at many
