Big white has a good ski shop on the hill.

I would demo a few different skis before settling on a pair that you really like. They usually subtract the cost of demoing skis from the price you pay.

You will find that new skis are more expensive in Canada than in the UK. (paradoxically) The real advantage of buying skis from an on hill store is that you can give them a proper test.

For skiing related equipment (clothing etc..) MEC www.mec.ca in Vancouver, is good.
