For a limited time only, they will accept trade ins of ANY ski equipment twards the purchase of ANY 09/10 ski gear.

The actual Flyer.

*** DISCLAIMER ***

I swear to god, I got this in the mail and wanted to pass it on, I'm not shilling. :-D

Doesn't say what they are giving you and I'm sure the new gear is full retail.

I heard an add on the Radio for them a week or so ago. They were offering some good deals.

new ski equipment in the east is never "full retail" aka MSRP...the only place you pay MSRP for equipment is places like Aspen, Vail, Deer Valley, etc...the rest of the shops out there sell at "MAP" minimum advertised price, otherwise known as "street price." I've worked in over a half dozen shops from here to Tahoe and the only place I worked that ever sold equipment at MSRP was right at the base of the lionshead gondola in Vail.

Well, of course it's going to be at it's normal price. But yea, I'm assuming this is the same as just having a sale. On the other hand, the trade in gear may be GREAT on my wallet if they put it up for sale at the Amherst outlet store. :-D

Yes, didn't mean MSRP. The MSRP seems to be there just to make you feel like you are already getting a discount.

I was thinking I could use a pair of longboards for gaper day...

ASI (American SnowSports Industry) announced today that have received $1.8M in U.S. Government funding to start a ski stimulus program. With the success of the C.A.R.S. program, the ski industry was able to secure funding for a similar program. Starting today, the Cash for Gaper Gear program goes into effect. In the defense of good taste and the progression of the sport ASI, rebates can be redeemed for the following ski equipment...

$100-$150.00 Straight skis (value depending on length and remounts)
$25-$50.00 Non-indemnified bindings (value depending on DIN and the amount of Delran in housing)
$75-$125.00 Rear Entry Ski Boots (the less buckles, the higher the value)
$100.00 One piece ski suits (must have neon and at least 12 zippers)
(one article from from each category per transaction)

ASI hopes that this program with savings up to $425.00 towards a new ski package will help stimulate the ski economy for this upcoming season. The proper forms are currently being faxed to participating ski shops. Please contact your local shop for details. Offer is not good in Canada or the state of Northern California.

All gear that has been deemed unsafe and in poor taste will be removed from circulation.

Is the ski stimulus thing for real??

 

[roark]

Hey! What do you have against the state of NorCal?

 

[wa-loaf]

Is the ski stimulus thing for real??

Yes but you have to prove ownership and the skis have to be destroyed to make them more elusive on gaper days.

Hey! What do you have against the state of NorCal?

More of a state of being isn't it?

 

[tcharron]

The sale at Zimmermans? Yes. The national ski stimulous package? Don't feel bad, he had me looking it up too. :-D

 

[hammer]

So...has anyone checked out the store yet?

I may stop by this weekend...my son claims he needs a larger pair of boots, and we did pick up a good deal on clothes when we went about this time a few years ago.

Not yet, was hoping to stop in and peek around on Sunday sometime.

Hey Philpug, great scoop on the stimulus program. You have already done a lot of skiing in 09/10! (?)
Seriously though, Zimmermans was also the sponsoring ski shop at the Nashua south High School swap sale last year and probably will be again this year. The sale is scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend. There were some great deals there last year. Blizzard CMX Pro's with Marker D.I.N. 14 bindings for $350.
Etc.

I'd clarify a bit tho. Zimmerman's doesn't really 'sponser' the ski swap. For years it happened without it being a Zimmerman's only sale. What they DID do is to push out all the other vendors, and made it Zimmerman's exclusive. As a matter of fact, when you talk to them in the Nashua store, they rarely mention the entire event as a ski swap, it's their 'Big Sale Event'.
