Lib Tech Skate Banana sale

Yeah, the blog has been failing miserably lately.  Meh.  Thought this was a decent sale and may be worth checking if you’re looking for a new board.  Skate Banana for $367 bones.  Quite a few other boards on sale, too, worth a look in case your local shop doesn’t carry Lib and/or sold out.

Extra 20% off at REI Outlet

Looks like REI is doing the extra 20% off at the outlet again. Some good deals to be had if you don’t need the latest and greatest, or are an odd size. A couple items that stood out to me below. REI Clipper Had this one for years, held up to everything I needed it [...]

Backpacking on a budget

Was just browsing the REI sale today and figured I’d see if I could pull together a quality setup that will take you from a weekend trip to a long weekend+ for under $500. Here goes… Shelter: Marmot Limelight 2 Just a few years back a two man tent coming in at the 5 lbs [...]

REI Anniversary Sale starts today

I didn’t realize it til this morning, but it’s that time of year again.   Yup, the pre-summer sales.  REI’s Anniversary Sale starts today, and on first glance it looks like the whole store is on sale.

Extra 22% (yeah, not 23, not 21, but 22%) off REI brand gear

Next two days the REI Outlet has an extra 22% off REI brand gear (use code OUT2DAY2 at checkout). Could be a good time to throw down the cheddar on that new tent, sleeping bag or pack you’ve been pondering – and having a lifetime warranty doesn’t hurt. Been using the old version of the [...]

20% off at Backcountry.com

Got this code in the mail today for 20% off at Backcountry.com. There are brand restrictions, and if something is already on sale for more than 20% off you won’t get any additional, but figured someone could use it. CODE: 56L-1-C3JBA. Get’er done.

Avalanche beacons on sale at REI

Was poking around the interwebs this morn’, seeing if any of the usual shops had the Tracker 2 in stock, and noticed REI has some pretty good deals right now on their beacons. Maybe not the cheapest you can find online (though I didn’t search around to verify), but certainly the cheapest you’ll find at [...]

Spark R&D Fuse binding in stock at Snocon

Was pissing away some time this morning, dreaming of having three spare benjis to drop on splitboard bindings, when I saw that they are actually IN STOCK at Snocon. Pretty much everyplace is sold out of these (I mean hell, the guys at Spark are sold out of them themselves!), so if you’re in the [...]

Yup, that’s right, the lightweight touring ski [...]

First look: Stoic Bombshell jacket

Been doing some serious gear whoring the past week or so as biz locally was going good for a bit.  Was.  Ahh well, at least I’ve got some new gear to show for it. First up, the Stoic Bombshell jacket.  Stoic is the new name for the house brand gear from backcountry.com, and from what [...]
