Hello!

Coming down from Toronto to check out PA outlets and maybe woodbury :D

Just wondering can anyone point me in the right direction to some good board shops in town? or around that area...

The prices in Canada are pretty crappy :(

noob rider looking for a good deal...

What in specific are you looking for? There is a shop that is fairly new in Middletown, NY that has some gear. The owner is great and personable and I can check out what he has before you come to see if he can get what you want. Also, there are a bunch of little shops in PA by Blue Mountain (Allentown, PA area) as well as some more established ones like Pelican Snowboard shops and Buckmans. I am more than willing to help you out if you let me know what you are looking for!

Buckmans has shops all around Philadelphia.
Wicks has a shop in Exton about 30 min west of philadelphia and in concord, just 30 minutes southwest of philadelphia.
Stowe has a shop about 45 minutes northwest of philadelphia, just north of Pottstown.

Those are your best bet for PA based Philadelphia board shops. From what i can tell, Wicks in Exton is the best when it comes to knowledge. Buckmans is good too but alot of their employees don't know too much.

You can also say that "this shop" offers this much and every one of the three will match the competitors prices.

I just got your PM. The man above hit every location on the head in that area. Depending when you are coming down, there are some small shops in allentown PA near Blue Mountain. As for food, they are all good in Philly. Definately get a cheese steak from Geno's or Pat's. Sooooo goood.

The below two links are for Buckmans in Ardmor and The Ski Bum in Glen Mills. Both are about half an hour away. I've never been to the ski bum so i cannot vouch for them. Both should still be having preseason sales.

Buckmans at Ardmore
The Ski Bum

As for food, if your a foodie, go to Amada in olde city. Spanish Tapas. Expensive, about 50-60 for a 3-4 tapas and a few drinks meal but definitely my favorite place in town (you can make a reservation or do a walk in and get the tables by the bar (my favorite) because its a 2+ month wait for a table on a saturday night). If you're going to get the good ole philly cheese steak, skip the souvenier shops like pats and genos and go straight to Jims steaks on 4th and south.

This should help you out.

Well...Guess it was my fault for not checking...but Buckmans are closed on Sunday...

Spent too much time at the outlet and king of Prussia on Saturday :(

Oh well another time...

Managed to eat Jim's, Pats and Geno all in 1 day...I think I had enough cheese-steak for awhile :p
