Comings & Goings: Ski Shop to PRE

Westport Ski and Sport opens Monday at 877 Post Road East at the intersection of the Sherwood Island Connector, according to co-owner Chad Gagnon (above). Gagnon described the store as “a high end boutique” featuring ski apparel with familiar brands such as Kjus, Bogner, M.Miller, Obermeyer, Arcteryx, Marmot, Prana, and Exofficio.  “We are a full service ski shop offering ski rentals, leasing packages, servicing and repairs on all equipment,” he said. “In the summer we will sell yoga and travel wear, beach cruisers and kid’s bikes, along with bike servicing.”  Gagnon said the store is owned by the Alberino family who started the former New Canaan Ski and Sport shop 39 years ago and the Ridgefield Ski and Sport shop at 197 Ethan Allen Highway in 2004.
