Description

Although redolent of the Soviet era in one respect - they've preserved the hour's lunch break - this shop for mountain sports is very much up-to-date in the choice of equipment on offer.

They sell everything for mountain skiing, tennis, swimming and wrestling, as well as sports clothing and footwear from major international companies. Experienced salespeople provide consultations on all the latest technologies - to give an example, mountain skis from Head use a complicated interweaving of titanium and carbon fabrics that provides for maximum stability on the slopes. Head skis sell for between 10,000R and 12,000R ($350-$421).

Part of the store offers cheaper second-hand skis.
