End of Season Ski Deals

[PinnacleJim]

Is that price USD or CAD? Crazy deal either way.

US$. Price in CAD$ was just under $500.

That's too good of a deal to pass up, especially since my son wants a pair of the 90Ti in 170cm. I bought a pair in 170cm in December and after skiing them I was thinking that I should have bought the 177cm. Problem solved! I just ordered a pair with red Attack 2 bindings for $403 shipped.

All pricing at Corbetts is CAD so discount the price by 40% for USD Their deals are insanely good as long as they have what you want.

Got an email today with pics and a description of the Stockli Stormrider 85 I was interested in from Gorsuch in Vail. They said some scratches on the top sheet, but bases are in excellent condition. I couldn’t see much for top sheet damage from the photo, and bases/edges looked good but we’ll see when they come in. Super psyched!! $469.99 shipped to my door, couldn’t pass that up! Thanks so much for the suggestion of Gorsuch!

Let us know how it goes. Thinking about picking up the SR 95s from them.

Glad I found this thread. Corbett’s has a smoking deal on 2020 Salomon Warden 13 115mm for $133 shipped in the color I wanted. Now I just need to figure out which pow ski I’m going to put them on!

I think you need to recheck your maths..... as of today (and this # has been in a similar range for the last couple of weeks)
1 Canadian Dollar =
0.7108 American Dollar
i.e. ~ 29% discount at money market rates
Also what I found when ordering was that you could not pay directly with a credit card (and my CC gives me close to the forex rate normally) but you had to to pay with your CC through their PayPal portal which fixed the rate quite a bit below. So the net discount ended up around 26%. Still very good, plus no sales taxes, but not 40%....

So your math is better than mine. I was thinking the reverse where $1 us = $1.40 CDN. You can see the current rates at XE.com.

I also use Paypal, but I set my preferences to charge my CC in CDN $$ as the Paypal exchange rate is not good at all. My CC rate is much better and the card I use has not transaction fees for foreign exchange.

For the Stockli experts here, is it true that dealers aren’t allowed to go more than 20-25% down on price for new skis? That’s what I’m being told from a shop I was inquiring about a pair of Stormrider 85s with. Was hoping for more of a discount for an end of season sale, but curious if that’s impossible now unless I found a used pair or demo in my size. I have a friend who bought from this same shop a lot earlier this season, and got the same deal they have now of $799 for the pair, so doesn’t seem like much of an end of season deal..

I got mine for 35% off

Any cheap prices for a Laser AX ?

I paid $799.35 for my 175’s

Sounds like a good deal. I am guessing that is flat, no bindings?

Correct

 

[Rod9301]

Can't call it a deal unless it's over 50 percent off

 

[TheArchitect]

Can't call it a deal unless it's over 50 percent off

Not in my opinion. If a $1,000 product is on sale for $600 you don't call that a deal?

If buying from a European shop, the price shown includes the value added tax. That can be deducted when the shop ships to an address outside the EU. The refunded VAT often about covers the air freight cost. Always ask the price without the VAT and the cost of the freight.

Here's a local shop to me who has 30-40% off lots, and prices are in CAD: https://kunstadt.com/collections/alpine-skis

 

[Jack Lake]

Gear west has a Laser AX in stock @ 182, as well as a few others for a great price. click here and dream: https://gearwest.com/sports/alpine/skis/?_bc_fsnf=1&brand=594

Use code GWELITE for an extra 10% off. Thats $899 for them WITH bindings.

Actually @dovski your math IS correct. Here is why:

$.71US= $1CDN. Now to get to a $1.00 US, add another $.29US which is worth about $.40CDN, so there is your $1US=$1.40CDN.

My Rossi Soul 7 skis are down to $375 at a couple of US retailers. Does anyone think they will go lower?

Still looking at bindings, and in the back of my mind wondering if I really should buy new skis right now.

Hmm...must be Canadian maths Dano? .....or Common Core????....

If you were to "discount the price by 40% for USD" then you would be getting a $1000 CAN product for $600 US. Whereas what you are actually getting is the $1000 CAN product for $710 US @ $.71US= $1CDN

Still dont believe me???

1,000CAD =
705.583USD

1000 USD = 1417.08 CAD
1000 CAD = 705.6765 USDExchange Rates Updated : April 2, 2020

705 USD = 999.0414 CAD
Exchange Rates Updated : April 2, 2020

The context where the 40% is correct is that you are getting 40% more CAN $ for your US $. That is NOT the same as getting a 40% discount on the CAN $. Still dont believe me? Try offering your Forex broker $600 US for $1000 CAN and see what you get....
