Guide to Shopping Online for Skis Equipment

Not everyone is rich, and not everyone has a ski budget from mom and dad. So I’ve decided to throw together a list of websites that help the low-budget ski kid get their stuff. I hope this helps.

A few places to find ski gear for less:

  • REI: an outdoor company that carries pretty much everything.
    Website: www.REI.com
    I recently found Rossi Scratch FS(2005-2006) for $224, and Volkl karmas for $299. They carry a vast array of merch that at the end of the season they liquidate nicely.

  • GearDirect: A Denver company that also liquidates end of seaon
    Website: www.geardirect.com
    This website in the year had deals on Dynastar TM’s for 220 and look bindings around 120. Not a bad deal for new merchandise. And each week they have Weekly Specials and Closeouts. Turn around time on shipping wasn’t bad.. 2nd day delivery for around 20bucks on a pair of skis.

  • Decade Snow and Skate: NH company.
    Website: www.decadesnowandskate.com
    I find this to be one of the best places for end of season prices. Currently carrying ninthward, 4frnt, dynastar, line, and rossi; decade has cut prices to around 219 for a set of twins. They also carry sessions and other jacket companies at reasonable prices.

  • Steep and Cheap: One day item listing
    Website: www.steepandcheap.com
    This site is great.. Every midnight, they list an item at 60% off the retail (estimated percent) and sell them till they are gone.. Once gone, its gone. Items have included dakine wheeled ski bag for 41.99, spy goggles, electric goggles, northface jackets, etc.

  • Apine Sports Outlet: The name says it all
    Website: www.alpinesportsoutlet.com
    Nice deals on accessories and other products. Ski bags for roughly 30-40%off and skis at closeout prices.

    This is just a start of where to look, I hope this helps you all when it comes time to replace those sticks and you’ve got a limited budget. Feel free to post other sites that you come across that have deals.

    ebay still has the lowest prices if you know whats a good price and if someone is selling it. lots of ski shops use ebay to sell and even evogear.

    They rarely update their site, but call them. They'll give you amazing deals and stuff for free (like waxing or mounts.)

    When you are ordering just type in the box or tell them over the phone, Newschoolers and you get the 10% off. I would suggest buying from them, they are the best.
