its the start of the new season and im seeing all these skiers with maxed out gear and dope ass set ups. some lucky fuckers with brand new everything (skis, outerwear, bindings, boots, whatever) and lots of shredders too who are rockin gear from last year or even two years ago for the first time. since i know not everyone has that much bank to buy gear at full price... what are the craziest deals you guys have come across in the ski industry?!?

I just buy stuff here. People are so desperate to get rid of stuff and for money you can nearly steal it.

Check out geartrade.com, the BST forums here, and my personal favorite for cheap new skis, Sierra Trading post. $169 for 1-year-old K2 Recoils was my best steal.

4Frnt Deadbolt 18's - $150
OR Shell - $100
Saga Anomie 2l - $70

I think those are most of the good ones.

On of the other end of the spectrum, my parents sold my Thule roof rack with Yakima ski rack at a garage sale for $20. I was keeping it in storage in their garage and went to pick it up the week after they sold it...

The craziest deals I've seen have been via the 5 finger discount. I knew this guy who was just fucking nuts. He walked into a sports authority type store, grabbed a pair of park skis and walked out. No fucks given.

Purchased brand new 2010 Line Motherships from REI in 2012 for less than $200. Still riding them today, great ski, I don't know why they had such trouble selling them. I don't see why people even give a shit about getting current year gear, it's not like one year's crop of skis is significantly better than another's. Sure, individual models change over time but great skis are made every year, so why pay 30-50% more to get a MY2015 over a MY2014 or even 2013.

mountaingear.com has some sweet deals sometimes. Also, if you look hard enough, you can get some really nice used stuff for almost nothing. I bought a pair of 2010 4frnt VCT turbos for $70, and a pair of 2010 line motherships for $40.

Geartrade's not so good anymore now that backcountry got rid of their old returns policy :/

STP is good though, and the clymb is sometimes alright (They had factions for like 200 a few weeks ago)

Pro forms are so nice for these things.

I got my 14/15 FT Mary Janes for $200ish.
I got my I/os 6's for $75
I bought my skis a couple years ago for $150 in the middle of February from the ski monster.

Also got a 686 Jacket 3 years ago from Whiskey Militia for $85(Originally in the 180-200 range) - Whiskey has some seriously sick deals. They're mostly snowboarding brands, but they have a ton of goggles usually. Also they have surf and skate stuff if anyone's looking for that.

Bought 2014 Surface One Life's over the summer...they were 50% off so $325, but then I had another 50% off code that only worked on full price skis but somehow worked on the half off One Life's... So I got them for $180 shipped. When I went back a few days later it didn't work any longer so I'd say I got a good deal
