Finding snowboard shops near you might not be as easy as it sounds -- they aren't necessarily called 'Snowboard Shops' so if you've never had a reason to know about them before, you might have to 'dig' a little.
For one thing, snowboard shops are never just called 'Tyler's Snowboard Shop.' They're often named something that's maybe just one word -- like 'Slopes,' for example. Very cool, but hard to find!
