‘Tis the season for deals on winter & ski gear. Just about all of the reputable online retailers are clearing space for their new spring/summer inventories. I plan to be fairly active posting specific deals here over the next couple of months, but below is a basic bullet list to all the stores (and their specific landing pages) that are announcing winter clearance sales.

• Altrec.com: Spring Sale. Extra 20% off all sale items! Code: SPRINGSKI
  
• Backcountry.com: Winter Clearance up to 60% off!
  
• evo.com: End of Season Sale for minimum 50% off!

I have not received too many notifications specifically of skis marked down for Presidents’ Day this year. However, there are opportunities out there for ski deals with quite a few winter clearance sales in general, which obviously would include skis.

To get better insight for more general outdoor deals check out and subscribe to Gear Deals Daily…it’s a new site where I plan to post at least one compelling deal every day. Like the slogan of this site, it’s not brain science. Click the screengrab below to check it out.

TIP: If you’re looking for good deals on skis any time, you’ll want to keep tabs on the evo sale category. Regardless of time of year (or holiday), these guys always have one of the best clearance/closeout/sale inventories for outdoor gear.

They keep coming. Launching one by one. Ski and preseason sales from the best online ski stores. Next up: evo. Here is an email I just got with details verbatim:

Fall is in the air folks! Ski and snowboard video premiers are hitting hard and Colorado just got their first dusting of snow for the season! Ahhh yeah!

To help people gear up for the season, we’ve moved a bunch of great product into our OUTLET and just today dropped a monster Preseason Sale. We’ve taken some really generous first-time markdowns on 2012 ski gear and are confident that we have the best assortment and deals available.

This promotion runs through Monday, October 1st.

I just checked out some of the products that are marked down on this promo. There are PLENTY of clearance skis listed at 50% or more off the retail price. No brainer, folks. You can also browse all evo promos.

Remember, I am in the know. And will not steer you wrong. I skied 1000 days in a decade, in the Wasatch, on the cheap. Still cringe at the idea of paying retail for ski gear or clothing. So when I see a way to save money on gear or ski bum lifestyle products, I post about it here. It’s not brain science

So have a look a Getzs.com next time you’re looking for deals on Carhartt products.

As a skier looking for deals, I know that when you’re not dressed in your ski-riding stuff, you’re likely wearing Carhartt clothing. I for one get it. It only makes sense. For me as a retired ski bum, a pair of their pants made up 1/3rd of my wardrobe. Out of my ski pants, and into my quilt lined Carhartts. That was the daily 4pm routine.

So I namely wanted to give you the heads up on Getzs for all around real-deal savings on rugged apparel/outerwear. They even have a Carhartt Clearance category. I am including two featured products below that I have used over the years. Even went through a phase of storm riding with the hat over my Balaclava.

Browse (or Subscribe to) all Getzs deals.

Have you checked out Oregon Mountain Community? I probably don’t feature these guys enough on the blog, but I do have an auto-updating catalog of their products listed minimum 30% off the retail price.

At any rate, here is another summer clearance code for you from e-OMC: SUMMER20. Use this at checkout and get 20% off full price items, and 10% off sale items. No brainer…don’t pay full sticker!

BTW don’t forget to check out their clearance “Screamin’ Deals” category. If you apply the code to a product from that category you’re laughing. You can also browse or subscribe to ALL e-OMC special offers on this site.

You should also be aware of Christy Sports for your 2012 ski store summer clearance options. These guys always have great offers, and good opps to save big. Plus it’s a rootsy store that’s fun to support. I would not steer you wrong! Check out the Powder Daze Online Sale (ALL Ski & Snowboard Gear & Apparel is up to 70% off). No code required. Just click the links above or banner below and gear up for winter. It’s not brain science!
