Idylwood Ski Shop near Elk Mountain in Pennsylvania.
The owner's name is "Win", and both Midwif and I have bought stuff there. My latest purchase was my Fischer Progressor's in the middle of last year at heavily discounted prices.  Win, more than some down here, was willing to unload inventory near the early end of the local season -- which happened to be in time to use on my next trip to Colorado.

The main attraction for us initially was that he has carried both Head and Fischer skis and Head boots for a number of years, and that is unusual for the East Coast. Beyond that, he is involved with the local youth race team and "trade-up" plans, and "community involvement" like that always resonates more positively with me than a shop that just wants to sell product.
