A haven for outdoor enthusiasts no matter what the season, Viking Ski Shop offers indoor and outdoor casual furniture in the warm months, and transforms to a ski and snowboard shop for the rest of the year. After three years in business in Barrington, this speciality shop has found its niche in the furniture market. According to one employee, you can get patio furniture at Costco, but Viking Ski Shop offers furniture with a designer approach, and also does a lot of special order pieces. As for the winter months, the shop offers ski and snowboard brands such as Rossignol, Atomic, K2 and Volkl, but considers boot fitting its forte. Viking also has a full-service repair shop and offers rentals and season leases on equipment.
