Hey! I am looking for canadian ski brands for outerwear, clothing and even skis! The exchange rate with the US money is just not an option. Thanks

Don't know any, but support your local ski shops. Best way around the exchange rate and you're giving your money (hopefully) to a mom and pop shop who live and breathe skiing and not just some corporation

For skis check out Skevik: http://skevikskis.com/collections/skis

They are sick planks. Really well built and super durable, great range of shapes, and some of the best graphics around (different top sheets are commissioned from different local artists which you can then select for any of the skis). They're hand built in Vernon, BC. For the last few seasons I've been on the Loken 116s for resort pow and Loken 106s for touring and they both rip.

This is definitely your best option, I'd also recommend buying last years stock the local shops trying to get rid of during sales and whatnot during the summer.

For Outerwear- Arc'teryx and Westcomb are Canadian companies that make some of the best apparel around, but if you're looking for cheap gear they are probably not what you're looking for.
