Spring is on the way, which means getting out on the slopes as many days as you can before the end of snow season. Rather than cursing the warm weather and dreaming of next winter, consider this the best time to really perfect your skills on the mountain.
You likely spent the early winter days getting your legs back and much of the remaining season cavorting with friends. Now is ideal for really tuning up your technique before the season ends — and get the gear you’ve been drooling over. Spring sales are just around the corner, so say goodbye to those scratched up googles, beater skis, and ratty jacket.
UtahSkis features sales on popular brands like Rossignol, Smith, and the North Face to meet all of your snow sport needs.
Ski and Snowboard Gear
Rossignol is the oldest surviving brand name in skiing — and remains one of the most popular. UtahSkis boasts a variety of men’s and women’s skis, ski boots, snowboards, and snowboard bindings for between 11%-65% off, including this year’s and last year’s products.
If you’ve been waiting until the end of the season to get a pair of brand new 2018-19 skis — now is the time. For men, the Rossignol Experience 88 Ti skis will take you anywhere you want to go on the mountain — and you get 13% off. The Experience 88 Ti was ranked as the All Mountain Frontside Favorite in Outside Magazine’s Gear of the Year for 2019.
For women, check out the Rossignol Experience 84 Ai if you’re looking for an all-mountain ski or the Rossignol Sky 7 HD for sailing through fresh powder. The Experience lists for 14% off and the Sky 7 HD for 34% off.
If you snowboard, you can pick up the Rossignol Sushi XV Sushi LF for men or the Rossignol Frenemy for women — both are 25% off. If you need bindings, boots, poles, or even a carrying case, there are sales on Rossignol products across all categories.
Holding out for the end of the year demo skis? You won’t have to wait much longer. By early April, UtahSkis will start selling their demos. If you’re looking to really step up your ski game without breaking the bank, invest in a pair of this year’s demo skis. They’re lightly used but in great condition for many years to come and they’re tuned before shipping.
Accessories & Apparel
Did you know you should replace your ski helmet every three years? Manufacturers recommend this even if you never crash. If you are involved in a serious crash, experts recommend replacing your helmet before heading out to the slopes again. While that might seem exorbitant, you only have one head — and you’ll save money on a possible emergency room visit.
Smith brand products will go on sale in mid March — including a huge selection of this year’s helmets. Many Smith helmets feature MIPS (Multi Directional Impact Protection), which is the latest in helmet technology and reduces rotational forces in the event of an angled impact. In addition to helmets, Smith manufactures an impressive selection of goggles. Many of these models will go on sale, including models with the brand’s proprietary Chromapop technology.
If you’re looking to replace your ski pants, bibs, or snow jacket, the North Face has something for everyone. Whether you want to invest in a super technical jacket, flashy board pants, or a base layer, UtahSkis is offering
North Face apparel for up to 40% off.
So don’t despair because spring is in the air — use the opportunity to finish up the season strong. You’ll thank yourself next year when you start out performing better than ever before. This time of the year also means saving big on gear, which is just — okay, almost — as good as that first dump of fresh powder.
