Renovations!

Hey all!

I finally got around to getting some pictures taken of the newly renovated Whistler store. Here goes...

Times are Changing!

We have some good news for the folks who shop at our Whistler location: our renovations are coming to an end and your shopping experience can now be an enjoyable time in a very colorful and nicely organized shop, with more space for great product. Our bike shop is now located where Beach or Bust's tanning beds once were, which leaves extra floor space for browsing our wide selection of gear. I will be posting pictures of our newly renovated store as soon as I can. On top of this, we have now started receiving our ski product and will be slowly accumulating new winter gear over the next few weeks.

More great news! The Vancouver location will be having our Annual Garage Sale this weekend. All bikes will be 20-40% off, bike clothing will be 50% off and any in stock parts and accessories will be 20-50% off. We will also have some 2009 ski product on sale so stop by and check things out.

Now for the big news! Drumroll please..........
SnowCovers Sports has officially been united with Skiis and Biikes, a company based in Toronto who recently opened a new location in Creekside, Whistler. For more information, please take a look at Skiis and Biikes' official announcement at http://www.skiisandbiikes.com/wedding.html.

Talent, Talent, Talent!

I thought it might be interesting to see our guys riding so here are a few pictures or Ryan, one of our talented bike techs. These amazing photos are courtesy of Ariana Stufano, a winter SnowCovers employee.

Get out and ride!

It's beautiful in Whistler and the trails are prime. I finally made it up to the bike park yesterday. I must say, the trails are in great condition but be prepared...I walked back to the shop with a flat tire and soggy feet. If you need some coaxing to get out there, check out the pictures from my most recent XC ride. We had a blast!

Bike Season

We would like to welcome Lumberjack Bikes to SnowCovers. Check out their link at http://iridehere.com/.

Both stores are now fully stocked with all bikes: from commuter to downhill or road to cross-country.

We have some rad Industry 9 wheels in stock, as well as Intense frames. We even have some 2010 Boxxer WC forks.

On top of all that, we have our new stock of Troy Lee Designs, RaceFace, Mace and Sugoi clothing and accessories.

Need a tune? Drop your bike off and we'll have it back to you in no time!

If you're looking for some shades for the sunny days that are sure to come, come check out our new stock of Oakley, Smith Optics and Ryders.

For those of you leaving town, we still have Ogio luggage so make us one of your last stops before leaving.

Bike

Just a quick note to let everyone know that our Whistler location is in the midst of changing over to bike product. We've sent all of our ski gear down to Vancouver for storage and should have our bike shop up and running by the end of the week. New bikes, apparel and accessories are coming in daily so please stop by to check things out.

On another note, get ready for the first Toonie race of the year this Thursday! If you need your WORCA membership or more info on any races or clinics, check out their website: http://www.worca.com/. Hope to see you there!

Still Going!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Whistler/Blackcomb is still full-on winter. It may feel like spring in the village but we just got a load of snow the other day. Fresh tracks all day long yesterday up Spanky's and in CBC trees. Here are a few pictures of the last week or so.

Here's a picture from April 13th.
