Received the REI Anniversary Sale preview catalog this AM. It’s the usual REI sale – 30% off a good selection of stuff across departments plus a 20% off full price member coupon. Noticed they are also doing an extra 33% off the Outlet price of Marmot and Mountain Hardwear stuff. As most of it is already 25-30% off that’s a pretty solid discount. Worth checking if you’re in the market for some gear.

Saw that The Clymb had Hestra gloves for sale today. High quality gloves that are insanely popular with the splitboarders that never convert to board mode crowd, and something you don’t see on the cheap very often. Looks like they’ve got a nice mix of Hestra gloves for sale, from the vertical cut freerides to my personal faves the 3-finger heli mitt, and all around 50% off. Worth adding to the gear closet at the prices they’ve got ‘em at if you’re looking.  The split biathlete's hand warmer of choice
Odd to see Homeschool up on The Clymb, but I guess after a year like this one was in most of the country it’s no surprise that manufacturers have excess inventory they are looking to dump. Looks like they’ve got all four jackets they make in every colorway, plus two styles of pant. Worth checking out if you’re looking for some good stuff (ran by some good peeps worth supporting) for next season.  Naked Raygun shell  Dangermare Jacket Oh yeah, I visited those guys a few months back. You can check out the post here Live in/near Salt Lake City? Looking for some blowout prices on Voile gear? They’re having a factory blow out sale on April 28th.
Hit them up on their FB page if you have any questions. Sounds like there’ll be some goods on the cheap! Just saw that REI was blowing out all of their splitboards (and I’m sure that most places will be blowing out all their snow stuff soon, being as it’s almost April and the season blew in most parts of the country). Some crazy deals, like the Priors around 40% off! They’ve also got Jones and Voile on sale. After seeing the Prior setup at Baker Splitfest I’ve got a newfound respect for the guys and gals (note: especially the gals. Hi Emily!) of Prior.  Fissile, 45% off. This board looks like a popsicle stick here but looks stupid fun in real life.
 AMF, 42% off. That's crazy talk.
Saw this from backcountry.com, an extra 50% off The North Face. Yup, that’s right, an additional half off on stuff that’s already marked down. Not a bad deal if you’re lookin’. Click the links above to get the coupon code. With all the recent press around the airbag packs figured it was worth posting up that I saw a few of ‘em on sale and know a ton of you are starting to consider them as an option, and since I can plug in the name and get a list of who has it on sale figured I’d save you 50 clicks of your time (you can also do the same on the right rail in the ‘search for gear on sale’ box, figured it’d help someone) . Hell, if I had the money I’d rock one (not that I’ve been touring much yet this year #needanewcrew), and I think it’s a foregone conclusion that the prices come down they will become a standard part of your touring kit. Also worth noting that people that had them in stock at the start of the weekend DON’T now, so I guess they are selling like hotcakes. The BCA Float packs are on sale in both sizes here and here and you can get the ABS packs on sale here. I originally debated posting this up as it’s almost tacky after the weekend we had in the NW, especially in light of all the inevitable ‘ZOMG SLACKCOUNTRY BACKCOUNTRY SKIING IS DANGEROUS’ kneejerk reactions from the press/Monday morning quarterbacking from the peanut gallery, but when I read Cody Townsend’s post “My wife was saved by an ABS today. If that’s not enough reason to get one for yourself than I don’t know what is.” figured that it’s worth putting up. Thoughts, prayers and positive vibes out to the friends and family of everyone involved in this past weekend’s (and really ANY) avalanches. Just saw that the REI Winter Clearance and Backcountry.com Semi-Annual sale started. All sorts of avy goodies and other fun stuff on sale. Pretty much every avalanche beacon is 25% off. Shovels by BCA, Voile and and the rest of the usual suspects all around 25% off as well. Definitely worth a look if you’re in the market. Just saw that Backcountry.com was doing a mid-winter sale. Some decent stuff on sale, quite a bit of stuff for hitting the BC (skins and shovels and probes oh my!), but the one thing that stood out to me was they had Whippets in stock and on sale. Seriously, hard to find these (at least locally), even harder to find ‘em in stock. Nothing quite says “I’m so eXXXXtreme that I laugh in the face of a certain impaling by riding with this sharp object in my hand” like a self arrest pole.  insert Devo joke here As always you should see if your local shop will price match before you buy it online! The lady friend sent me this deal knowing that I hate those daily deal sites but that I like free money at places I was going to spend at anyways. Granted once I use it I’m quitting the site so I don’t get daily emails, but whatever. Click here to check it out. If you’re new to the site they give you $5 to start so it’s only $20 for $50, not bad, not bad. |
