Okay, so I am in dire need of a winter jacket and don’t mind dropping some coin on a nice ski jacket for this season. Does anybody have some good recommendations as to what stores I should visit around town? I am going to check out High Adventures on route 7 but I wouldn’t mind checking out some other places as well. Discuss ---

I dunno, but I love my Columbia stuff. My last jacket was a Columbia, and so is my new one. Very comfortable, very warm, and not too expensive ($200). I ordered it directly from Columbia’s site, along with two long sleeve undershirts and a hoodie. ---

Try Goldstocks on Freeman’s Bridge Road in Scotia. They have most brands and decent prices. I bought a North Face ski coat there last year. I was hesitant because so many people buy North Face stuff and don’t even use it for winter sports (like Hummer owners who don’t go off road) but it’s a great jacket and worth the price. ---

+1 for Goldstocks. great selection there. i was at high adventure on rt. 7 last weekend to drop off my skis for a tune and their selection was definitely lacking. check out brands such as saga, orage, and first drop. all top quality gear, but its does have a nice price tag to go along with it.
