Just posted a list of Back to School 2011 gear promos and code offers earlier today, but here is another you need to know about. In fact you’ll have more options for ski deals with BC. The summer 2011 Backcountry.com Semi-Annual Sale is on…up to 50% off the top gear.

THIS IS A SNEAK PEAK and best selection will be there now instead of later. Let me repeat that. If you see this post soon act b/c no one else knows this sale is on, now through 8/31. Don’t pay full sticker.

No Brainer Tip for this post: If you are planning on new powder skis this year don’t wait. Now is the time to buy. For instance check out these killer deals on rocker skis right now!

 

Below is a list of some killer “Back to School” promotions from online gear & apparel stores, and some are going on already! You need to act fast to get your size/color. Just click the store name to browse/buy.

Just thought I would include this list because there are sure to be ski deals to be had. Note there are coupon codes associated with some of the offers.. you’ll need to use those when you checkout to redeem the deal.

Never pay full sticker for ski gear. Subscribe to my RSS feed and I’ll keep the deals coming your way. Trust me I know how to find them, and how to share them with you. It’s not brain science.

There is a heat wave across the country right now, so it’s my bet most skiers are thinking about skiing. I know my mind is on Alta Powder. The heart of summer is actually a really good time to find deals on winter gear. The absolute worst time to buy your ski gear is while the season is starting to ramp up, so check out this offer from Skis.com.

Now through the end of July get an EXTRA 22% Off ALL 2010 & 2011 Ski Gear! Just make sure to use code -> skitent <- when you check out. Oh, and there is also free shipping on all 2012 skis right now from this store…not too shabby.

Don’t pay full sticker, it’s not brain science when it comes to saving on your gear.. just subscribe to this site.

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.

Well just like last post…this one also has nothing to do with ski deals. But, again, it’s not winter. Lots of skiers have dogs. Maybe you have one. Some folks even ski with their dogs. If you have a dog, here is a promo code for you from Ruff Wear. This is an exclusive code from Ruff Wear only available on a few sites including mine. It’s not brain science. Save 10% on your entire order.

Click the banner below or the links above, and be sure to use code: newafpromo11 (expired, but check display below!) to redeem 10% savings.

Well it’s not ski deals, but it’s also not ski season. Plus this is a cool store located here in Utah.

It’s closing in on mid-June and CampSaver.com is having their biggest sale of the year on tents, apparel, footwear, gear, more.. click the banner below or the link above to browse/shop. No codes necessary.
