Now is the best time to buy with all the summer sales if you're on a budget although it might be a bit harder to find correct sizes on items. can't really recommend many skis as i've only owned K2 press and NFXs, prefered the presses they were more fun. Planks make really good jackets if you want to check them out.

I haven't really checked out planks before for jackets but for k2s i dont really know about it ive heard that they aren't too durable and I want something that will take a beating for maybe throwing more agressive tricks like switch corks

Jackets and all of that are up to you,but you should be able to find some good ones in summer sales.
With the skis you need to give more information so that you can get a good recommendation.
Where do you ski? How good of a skier are you?

What skis do you currently have or have had in the past, what did you like or dislike about them? How big are you? Are you still growing? Do you ski a bump in PA or decent mountains in VT? We need more info!!!

You can always find jackets and softwoods for decent prices anytime of the year. Steep and cheap is good as is the rei outlet.

No. You do not NEED new gear.

Buy a pair of skis with 10 days on them and save $400. I just did this and got 2018 Line TWall. Super stoked. (ON3P has some demos for sale)
