About Fresh Air (Bike Run Ski)
Three sports, three seasons, one shop: Fresh Air (Bike Run Ski) lays out its ground in the name, and the address at 1656 Dilworth Drive puts it on the valley floor below the mountain that gives the street its name, central to a city that otherwise sprawls.
Specialist sport shops trade on fit and service rather than shelf space. On the bike side that usually means sizing, assembly, tune ups and seasonal servicing. Running comes down to gait, shoe fit and replacing worn pairs before an injury turns up. Ski and board work runs to boot fitting, waxing, edge work and binding checks. What any one shop has out on the floor at any one time follows the season it is in, so a call is the sensible way to learn what is being booked in for service and how long a turnaround is currently running.
The number to try is 250-763-3425, and freshair.ca carries more. Kelowna suits all three pursuits: the Mission Creek greenway and the lakeshore paths take care of running and easy riding, quiet hillside roads climb toward Wilden and Black Mountain for anyone who wants a gradient, and the hills above the valley cover the short winter. Dilworth Drive sits centrally enough that most of the city can reach it without crossing town twice, which counts for more here than it would somewhere compact. Arrive with the gear you want fitted rather than guessing at measurements from home.

Where the Okanagan actually shops, city by city
Retail in this valley is not spread evenly. It concentrates on a handful of streets and one or two malls per city, strung along Highway 97 like beads on a wire. Here is which street to drive to in each city, and what you will and will not find there.
