Delighted to be finding out more about what was an institution in the game, a brilliant shop, cultural hub in both skate and snow and place where people, including myself would pilgrimage, yes pilgrimage, to buy their kit and soak up some of SS20's, how can I put this, radness.

SS20 was a snow and skate shop in Oxford, and their clever use of graphics on their T Shirts made them somewhat legendary, see someone with a fish or a barcode t shirt and you know they know. That did, in fact, happen to me on my first season... I knew enough to know that it was going to be people that gave us jobs and keep us in Val D'Isere for the season, so imagine my delight, and I remember saying ths to the other three guys I had arrived in resort with, I saw a guy at the bar in an SS20 fish T Shirt. It was mid November so no punters in town yet and this meeting led eventually to jobs, season passes and many, many good times...

Mon was one of the founders along with Dave Furneau (episode coming at some point) and soon after legendary vert skater Sean Goff, and the place just had magic about it. If I'd have lived nearer I, for sure, would have worked there, or at least hung out there every weekend...
