Local XC Ski Shops
Chico:
Mountain Sports
176 E. 3rd St., Downtown Chico
530.345.5011

The best in town. Not much in the way of performance tracked skiing equipment, but plenty for the backcountry or ski tourer to select from, plus lots of packs, clothes, tents, etc.  Plus, the people who work there are just plain nice.

Hughes Ski Hut
Hwy 99 (just north of where Hwy 99 and the Esplanade intersect)
530.891.4032

This is a downhill only shop, but they do have Swix glide wax when you can't find it anywhere else in town. But better to plan ahead and order yourself a couple of bars of wax from Tognar Toolworks.

Truckee:
Paco's Truckee River Bike & Ski Shop

This is the best shop in town for skating, performance skis and equipment. They have a great selection of skis, poles, boots, clothes, waxes and base tools that you won't normally find.

Sierra Nordic
www.sierranordic.com
Located at 11004 Donner Pass Rd., right next door to the Start Haus, across from Napa Auto Parts, this small shop is chock full of track-weenie toys! A great selection of skating and in-track classic skis, these guys are up on the latest and use the stuff they sell. They are also known for the famous Memorial Day and Labor Day ski sales.

  Lake Tahoe:

 

Alpineglow Sports

A mix of outdoor clothing, backpacking gear and skis this place is worth a check when you are in Tahoe City.
