Skiology Ski and Sports and Darkside Snowboards have received recognition in a USA Today readers’ poll of the 10 best ski shops in the U.S.
Skiology Ski and Sports landed at an impressive No. 2 on the list. “This local shop offers a wide range of high-performance recreational and racing skis, from all-mountain and freeride to powder skis… and their Wintersteiger tuning machine will keep your gear at peak performance,” the article noted.
Darkside, which has locations in Killington and Ludlow, came in 10th. “With a selection so vast it’ll make your head do a 720 on a half-pipe, Darkside Snowboards helps each boarder find the perfect setup to conquer the variety of terrain in Killington,” the article noted.
Overall, three Vermont ski shops received distinction on the list. The other non-Killington shop was Pinnacle Ski and Sports in Stowe, which earned the top spot in the rankings.
The poll serves as another reminder that Vermont is one of the premier skiing destinations in the country, and within the state, Killington and Ludlow are essential pillars of the ski and boarding communities.
