Demo Ski Credit Question

[gnardawg]

I demoed some skis at Sunday River over new years. They told me to hold onto the receipt because I could apply that $ amount back to a pair of skis for the remainder of this year. Since Loon is owned by the same company does that mean I can use that receipt/voucher at Loon when I go this weekend if I see a pair of decent looking demo skis I want to buy?

Call Loon

No idea. It is possible, but I would bet no. Definitely call Loon to confirm though.

Regardless of "rules" I bet they would. Bring your receipt. You see something you like and are ready to spend $ then and there, say "hey I'd like to buy these, I have a SR credit for demo - can I use it?" Only an idiot business person would say No. $50 less from their insane MSRP prices is still a huge profit for them. And they're going to be discounting that much soon anyway... if they say No, fuck it - they're bean counters who can't care to earn a customer.

I love when other people tell a business how they should run, and what their profit margins are....

Just because Sunday River and Loon might be owned by the same company does not mean the ski shops are the same company. Most mtns outsource the ski shops and often food services to other companies.

This is why I'm skeptical. I'm not so sure Sunday River Sports is owned by SR. Utterly no clue about Loon too.

I didn't end up bringing my credit or call Loon. I was only going to try because thought I was going have to park at the base lodge but didn't have to. Got to park at South Peak so I didn't bother. Best spot to park at Loon - Can get 5 runs before anyone shows up. The credit mystery continues.

Just emailed them

Not a surprise.

I would take your receipt to Rodgers and ask. Owner is on site. Promise not to tell anyone....

I'll bet Dave or other employee will give a much better deal than buying new from SR and a rental credit.
