Where does it say it's not selling skis?? Level 9 is a discount store, I don't see a (big) conflict.
There's going to be a hotel there, I wouldn't want to stay there, that's for sure.
A couple blocks west Industry is re-doing a massive building, similar to in Denver, also headed by an (ex) ski industry guy. Right near DPS.

No I asked if they maybe weren't selling..Evo is "discount" in my eyes and so is L9 seems weird to have 2 shops of that size so close. Cannibalization comes to mind. It appears they have been active in discussions so I assume it's all worked out.

L9 is small fry compared to EVO. It's almost like comparing REI to...well...L9, or Eataly to your local Italian meat and cheese store.

I hope not. L9 have been great to deal with the few times I have or hopefully that wont change if they get absorbed

Had coffees with the owners of Evo when they were still small on the deck at big sky. Would have been 2004 ish? Seemed very cool. We stopped into the shop a few times when we were passing through Seattle and always remember us and were very friendly even though we were buying scrapers and wax and nothing much. I look forward to the development.
Wonder what SFB has heard?
