Pit Crew sells snowboard gear in downtown Frederick. MD. Delmarweb has a listing of smaller ski shops in Maryland and Delaware.

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?
Disabled Sports 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 resorts nationwide and locally in the mid-Atlantic.
