Best Of 2012: Place to Buy Snowboards
I grew up a skier. So when I walked into Blindside, I told owner Jon Easdon to tell me why I should try snowboarding. His reply? "I'm not going to do that. You go to the mountain for the same reason I do." Call it passion, and know it runs deep at Blindside. The store, which moved to a bigger location across 21st Street in April, delivers the highest-quality boards from smaller brands. "As a shop, we ride everything we bring in," says Easdon, and that includes the skateboards. So you can be sure you're buying quality goods.
