"The shop was more of a clubhouse than a business," says Bevan Quinn who worked at West Hill for 27 years. After the Tour of the Valleys, the party was back at the shop. Bevan and his brother Jeremy helped bring Jake Burton's new boards into the shop. Jeremy, who passed away of cancer at 47, later managed a number of snowboard and skate shops in the region.
