Planning a weekend getaway to one of the ski slopes nearby? Or a Spring Break trip to Colorado? The Ski Chalet on Columbia Pike has been open since 1969 and sells ski and snowboard equipment and apparel year round. According to their website, Ski Chalet was awarded Gold Medal Ski Shop by Ski Magazine seven years in a row and it has been honored as ‘Retailer of the Year’ three times by Snow Sports Industries of America (SIA).
Author’s Note: The Ski Chalet location on Columbia Pike is now closed but the store has re-opened in a new location as Sun & Ski Sports just outside of Arlington at Seven Corners Shopping Center.
