Eric,
Thank you for your inquiry, but unfortunately, we’re not truly familiar with that area or the shops. Our best recommendation for you is to try calling the resort where you skied and talk with someone in their pro/gear shop. Perhaps they will have more information on the store name or perhaps a website. If all they can give you is a store name, maybe you can track down a phone number or website on the Internet where you can purchase ski blades.
Other than that, we can really only recommend you scour the web for sites that have a large selection of ski blades. We’re sorry we can’t be more help than this, but hope this helps you in your search.
