4th of July 2011- Ski Sales

Ski Bum Poet — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 13:24:28 +0000

Although skiing is far away in your summer mind, right now really is one of the best times to pull the trigger and gear up for winter and powder. Just about every online ski store has a promo for the 4th. Independence Day Sale, July 4th Blowout, Summer Clearance, Anniversary Sale, etc. Lots of different names, all the same objective: to start clearing warehouse space for the new line of winter products. It’s not brain science.

At any rate below is a list of some of the top online stores for ski deals…and their current (4th of July 2011) offers. For the most part just click the banners to get started and note that some will require you enter a code during checkout to redeem the savings. Nothing but savvy web shopping 101. Don’t pay full sticker.

Skis.com: $25 OFF Any Order $199 or more from the Clearance Center through July 4! Use code: SPARKLERS

Bigskycountry.com: Exclusive coupon/promo code for 25% off order (Some restrictions apply.) Use code: grand

Backcountry.com: Get up to 40% off plus free 2-day shipping (NO MINIMUM PURCHASE) on all orders. No code necessary.

Mountains Plus: up to 60% off top brands like Patagonia, GoLite, Kelty and more! No code necessary.

As I said above just about any outdoor retail store on the web will have some kind of promotion happening around July 4th. Also take a look at some of the following stores for great deals this weekend. It’s cool to save on ski gear so don’t pay full sticker. Subscribe to this site!

Happy 4th 2011!!

This is a biggie. Gotta love the headline of the email I just got from SteepandCheap.com, promoting a today only ski gear clearance sale. This sale started 15 minutes ago, and goes throughout the rest of March 9th. Just think, if you were subscribed to this blog you would have known about this killer opportunity to save cash on ski stuff immediately Here is the headline of the email:

Tramdock haunts SteepandCheap – First tracks on skis, boots and ski gear – March 9th starting at 10am MST.

For those who aren’t aware, Tramdock.com is the now defunct ski ODAT site from Backcountry.com. If you go there, you’ll notice they direct all traffic now to SteepandCheap.com. The widget below holds the current insane deal. Don’t be a sucker and pay full sticker.
