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?!?

Fitzy_A pair of filthy riches used for one year for $300 and some used sth 12 drivers for $120


I think that's really cool about on3p actually. It's not unusual to see used ar7's or similar park skis barely sell for $150, but on3p's look like a steal when you get them for sub $450.

Never ridden em, but I have seen them and the factory. Real good testament to the quality of their products and the company itself IMO.

I'll definitely be on the lookout to get a pair, support them, and buy into the hype when I've got the money for it. (or internship this summer plz, I'll work in exchange for a pair of sticks)

i am now forever an on3p customer. they are such insanely durable skis, even for park (except when you get edge dents from hitting the front of rails FML). and not only are they durable, but they're nimble and playful and such fun skis too.

I bought a set of skis and clothes for I thought it's cheap, yet turned out to spend a lot of dime on shipping fee. And the set, was not good for me.

CaseyThe 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.

Stealing is garbadge crime and if anyone steals from a person or legit shop they should be stoned . But stealing from A corprate store like sports authority is actually pretty funny.

DeebieSkeebiesgot a pair of masterminds and a free mount last spring all for like $150. Sports Den in SLC hooks it up.

DeebieSkeebieson new skis that were originally like 250-300 range peak season? sure, if that's your definition of getting ripped off.


You definitely did get ripped off, do you even know how shitty of a ski masterminds are? It's what dumb 12 years olds who don't know shit about what makes a good ski buy. They just figure that because it's the lightest and flexiest, it's the best. You won't progress if you ride masterminds, you can get 4s out of a rail that's an inch off the ground but that's it.

ChubbyBoyManaged to get liberty morphics for 400 two years ago off the Aussie importer. Pair of Oakley canopy for 60 off a mate brand new and electric EG 2 for 50 off one of my teachers who owns a ski rental shop.


You still got ripped off for those liberty's I got a set of the importer here for a touch less and after riding them I felt violated. Worst skis I have ever owned.

On a side note I got £3k worth of slightly Fischer race stock for free as it was about to be thrown out.

At school in Halifax, I found a pair of 2013 K2 kung fujas for 150$ brand new. They were in size 189, and i'm assuming that their length and the conditions on the east coast kept them from being sold. I'm 6'4" so pretty much a gift to me aha
