i'm thinking of going. lots of good deals, last time i went 2 years ago lots of like 50% stuff like gloves and helmets. worth going, especially outerwear. i think they have some skis and bindings, and there is the swap.

really??? im shocked to hear that. because at alot of shows(i.e. Hobby Show), here in Toronto especially,  the booths have stuff thats "on sale" but in reality is more expensive at the show than in the store.

can anybody verify this?? i really need a new jacket, but on a budget (

at the hobby show 3 years ago, i got 200 off my truck, and a bunch of extras, so once you count in the parking, admission, it was worth it. at the ski show, i saw lots of good deals on outerwear, but if yur saving like 20$ after parking(assuming u drive there), admission and wat not, i find the only good reason to go after something is when its like a 50$+ difference.

True for sure......even random vendors that have NOTHING to do with skiing.  They have some pretty sick deals on snowboard stuff, but for ski stuff not too much. Honestly though for outerwear you have to dig deep, REALLY DEEP.  Like i found a Orage York jacket, and Noho Pants in XL for 300 both, but that shit is rare.  It can be pretty fun though.

There are always great deals on outerwear at the show. It's a good place to find that item you wanted at the start of last session but didn't get.

I didnt see many deals on skiis or boots, but every year is different, but outerwear is everywhere. it is definatly worth a look!

Man those pivots. My brother got a pair of p18s with skis for $75. I wished i could have got some things but i have no money at all. It sucks. The claim premiere was okay too.

yeah man, i think i saw thosee.
but i def dont need 18s.
i didnt buy for a few reasons.
#1, dont need new bindings
#2, pooooorrrrrrr
#3, im a noob with bindings and dont know a whole lot, so i wasnt exactly sure which was a great pair.
but people going this weekend should def cop somee.
