Off-season Steals

[Tin]

There are some great deals out there. Ebay and Amazon are flooded with brand new goggles, skis, bindings, and outerwear from last year.

So far I grabbed these of Amazon brand new for $48. Kali Kush so Scotty will like them. Finally want to try the mirror lens.


And for the woman's November Christmas present I scooped these up with Marker Squires off Ebay. Bottoms are mint as are the top sheets. Paid just under $300 with shipping.




Still looking for decent helmets and some poles I won't snap (went through 3 decent pairs last year).

I'm looking for new ski boots so will keep an eye out. Have been checking the usual suspects (skis.com, evo, L9) every week or so.

This is a steal... I'm tempted but its a bit short for my taste.

I've been scoping Blizzard Brahmas this week. I see a set for $399 new which is the best price I've seen. Very close to pulling the trigger.

 

[JDMRoma]

Scored these at the beginning of June, Icelantics on ebay $309 and Volkls at sport thoma $410, Dukes were $250 and $225 for the Jester Pro's........Im done and ready for the upcoming season !!

I stopped by Rodgers in Lincoln on Sunday. The ski deals were so absurdly good that I had to walk away.

Mishka, if you see this... They had sweet skis with demo bindings for less than the price of the bindings alone. You could probably buy them, sell the skis, and walk away with free bindings.

Thanks, looking for something with a thumb guard sort of design after my awesome surgery this year.

Thanks for the thoughts. I have several pairs of older pivots demos and 2 marker griffons demo enough for my " demo Center" I'm trying to cube will lose those two models of binding so all the saying and Interchangeable

oooo btw I "scored" new pair skis for next season

 

[Puck it]

I need to resist. Ok maybe I need a new pair of new googles. That is it. Resist.

 

[ScottySkis]

I so would be buying and trying for the first times some ski and boots if I had job. Check out these sale prices over upcoming weekend and hopefully some A zoners score some great stuff.

Eh, maybe I'm not looking that hard, but I'm not seeing much in the way of interesting stuff or great deals poping up so far this summer. Did snag a pair of the original vintage green and orange scott WC's a couple weeks ago for pretty cheap though. And a great deal on a tablesaw from Lowes.

Deals I picked up in the last few years, mostly in season. Price new, per single item, cheap/free/includes shipping, no tax unless otherwise stated:

Rossi Super 7 188 & 193 - $280 Level Nine, Fall of '14
Marmot Start House jacket - $50 S&C, Fall '13

Of course, I've picked up a few things on impulse and overpaid, or ended up not really needing the item. I have at least a couple pairs of of used skis I've bought but never skied on. Many of the new items above have not been used either, but they are being held in reserve.

They have the blizzard brahma in 173/180/187 for $425, which is a fantastic all around (hard snow to some soft snow) eastern ski. Also a full size run of the '14 full tilt first chairs (their top end boot) for $368.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Found these on Craigslist: http://burlington.craigslist.org/spo/4509998812.html

But since he's not providing skins and I'd have to sell the tele set-up (I think its 3 pin) I offered him $150 which he turned down. If nobody else here is interested maybe he'll breakdown eventually.

They're made by a few guys here in SLC. Afaik they're only local. That said, look online at some SLC shops like Second Tracks Sports.

Re: trips instead of gear

That's what I'm thinking. Last year I bought my real pow skis...the Head Hammereds with Head/Tyrolia Mojo 15 bindings in the plastic shipped for $399. So my quiver is complete for now and if I buy anything more my wife will kill me.

Destinations I'd like to ski:

Big Sky
Jackson
Heavenly
Mammoth
Whistler
Revelstoke
Red Mountain
Sun Valley
Steamboat
Telluride

So I'm thinking experiences over gear. But there are always good deals.
