This season I moved out west to Revelstoke, BC. Coming from Ontario, it was clear I needed to buy new gear. In fact, My Head E-Rallys have resting peacefully in my locker room since open. Thanks to my work in the ski industry I saved nearly $1000 on my gear this season.
If you are someone who makes money in the ski industry, you will never have to pay full price for your equipment ever again. Between tax deductions and pro deals you can continue to spend ridiculous amounts of money on ski gear, but at a discounted rate... so you can buy more!
In fact, a lot of these brands, are not directly related to skiing. Click here for a list of brands that are not directly related to skiing, that ski professionals can access on discount!
This one is easy. Once you have picked the brand you want, type it in to google and add "pro-deals" on to the end of the search. If a company offers pro discounts this is how you are going to find them.
Now I could sit here and list all of the brands that offer pro deals, but no one wants to read that. So here are some notable platforms that give you access to lots of brands at discounted prices:
