Getboards is the best site to buy gear imho. I picked up nike apx goggles for like $120 and a saga setup for $140. Sign up for their newsletter and they will sometimes give you 50% off cupons

I also forgot to mention Getboards has a price match if another site has it for cheaper and their closeout deals are pretty great

Evo.com is the BEST!

Don't be afraid to check Ebay too. I've bought skis and bindings with no problems there. Just make sure you do your research and ask the seller questions so you don't get scammed.

Evo.com
I bought some Armada El Reys off of their site recently but they aren't what I wanted, so I called to see if I could take them back (even though I don't have the original papers or packaging or anything) And they said I could.

Honestly though, just check all the major ones a lot. They all have great deals at certain times. For example, I got the El Reys from evo for cheap and then I bought some Marker Squires off of backcountry for cheap. Now that I got a refund for my El Reys I plan on getting Punx from Skis.com

Backcountry.com
Getboards.com
evo.com
skis.com
rei.com

Same as all the others, evo and get boards are the best in my opinion. The house also has some good stuff outerwear wise, but their skis are mostly always over priced.

I've bought two pairs of skis from evo.com and it's been a legit buying experience both times! Plus they have some good deals on last years gear.

levelninesports is sick especially for shipping to Aus and NZ. I bought $180 Amplids and $137 Axial2 which they mounted for free and it was only $30 for shipping. Shipping took less than 3 days all the way to New Zealand. If I had bought this set up at my local shop it would have been like $700+
