The Weekend for buying ski stuff is upon us!!!

One of the best times of the year to stock up for the winter race season…..

Labor Day Weekend is the unofficial start of pre-ski season.

A few reminders for the new Ski Racer:

USSA Registered racers do not pay MSRP / full sticker price for racer gear (with few exceptions)
1. Brand new Skis, Boots, Poles, Armor, etc. have customary race price discounts below list.
2. Racer pricing can mean significant savings (15 to 30%)
3. Only current season [brand new] equipment is sold under racer pricing.
4. Certain manufactures advertise prices at race price [Meaning no further discount] (i.e.. Atomic)
Most clubs will have a new equipment ordering day.
1. Coaches will advise on ski equipment fit/ type.
2. A single new equipment order will be made for the club.
Many clubs have race ski swaps.
1. A day or weekend to buy and sell race equipment.
2. You might check the swap first and fill in the rest on equipment order day.
If you don’t find it at Swap, or, don’t order it, and still need it….
1. Labor Day weekend is the best time to find heavily discounted gear.
2. On-line and local retailers will use this as the gateway season opener for winter.
