So, my mom needed new ski pants, so we found some new ones on ksl (Utah's version of craigslist) for cheap, we went in, and he had a bunch of other gear for sale and he had an armada jacket that he used 2 times for oly 30 bucks, so i bought it, got online and its retail is 449.99! Post your coolest deal ever!
 
got some Look pivot 18s on evo this fall for 200$ seeing how they are a 400$ binding i was pretty happy, got a 270$ saga jacket for like 120$ and then got full tilts on ebay brand new for like 350$ (the red twalls), i consider myself a great shopper
 
2 dollars on a dog shirt at value village, the shirt is just coverd in different kinds of dogs
 
shop employee pricing...

Also, my big kahunas were free, and i scored a free pair of fritschis from a customer.
 
holy shit now THAT'S a good deal.

the best deal i've ever exploited was $25 for a like new XL causewell jacket at a ski swap.
 
$150 for brand new 2012 Punx in 182, I waited for like an hour and a half to be the first one in and jut grabbed them.
 
$650 nordica fire arrow f2 boots half off and I had a $200 gift card so only 125 out of pocket.

Surface New Life's for $299

Deadbolt 18s for $225
 
Line Poles, K2 Photophase goggles, ski socks, base layer = free (god i love when reps visit)

nordica dead money skis = $149 shipped from getboards.
 
2 years ago I got brand new Rossi FKS 180's and brand new 2010 Ace of Spades for $380 total. Best deal Ive ever gotten.(Craigslist)
 
On3p caylors for 350 my shop was having a huge sale also I got a poc receptor bug for 45 and smith I/oS for 30 I would say that's pretty good
 
I have probably bought over 5 grand worth of stuff in the past two seasons...I've only spent $1,200 on skiing in those two seasons (and that includes trips/tickets that aren't included in the $5,000 worth of gear)...hard to tell what the best deal is on. I'd guess other than stuff for free my best deal was paying $150 for brand new 12/13 Tom wallisch full tilts.
 
probably the shop employee discount I get on Saga stuff.

also trading 2 jiberish hoodies for brand new full tilts and trading a jiberish choppin wood for an orage JP retallack jacket
 
Free 4frnt VCTs because the store screwed up my order and sent me the wrong year STLs, then VCTs, then finally the STLs I ordered.

That was 7 years ago. I have put >250 on those VCTs and less than 50 on the STLs. When I started using them as the daily driver the following year (6 years ago), people gave me shit for skiing on a 'powder' or 'fat' ski when there wasn't fresh snow on the ground. Now it seems 100-108 is the norm.
 
On3p BIlly Goats for $150 with Jesters

Elan Boomerangs with Griffons for $100 from my boss this summer

Smith I/Ox and holt park helmet for free from work.

 
Got a 15 ft round trampoline on ebay for 50 bucks. The guy only had it for 5 monthes. And it was only 15 minutes away
 
A single Marker Jester binding brand new for $80. Didn't need both so a shop sold me a toe piece and heel piece for $80, I'll take it!
 
One times for 220 with atomic ffg 14

New lifes with griffons for 220

All my other gear I got for 60% off, or acquired in a trade. I can't believe people actually pay full price for gear. But, if you can swing it. More power to ya!
 
$300 for a brand new pair of Rossi S3's with marker griffons. I work at a shop though so my deals are a little different.
 
$0 for my new saga shutout from the clymb. also got an armada fievel for $20 at a local shop. everything else was just summer deals
 
Probably STH 14s for $111 Shipped from my stores summer sale, and Jesters for $125 from them the year before.
 
Surface no times for free brand new today, and than smith io with 3 lenses for 55, ios for 20 with 2 lenses, brand new Osiris shoes for 30, and 20 bucks for new Nomis pants.
 
Initially paying $330ish for two crates in the first smash and grab. After a couple months I had traded/sold all 10 pieces and had $100 and relatively new riding hoodies and a pair of oakley holbrooks. Yeeeeee
 
I remember being in a Savers just outside of SLC (sandy maybe?) and they had an old shitty pair of skis with pivot 12s on them for like 40 bucks. Came back the next day to grab em and they where already gone
 
boulder pro sale used to have the DEALS, too many people know about it now

my buddy got a pair of head mojo 1's with 18 din head bindings for 5 bucks...they were beat, but he has skied them many times since and are still going strong. bindings alone were probably worth at least 100
 
ever since I started working at a ski shop i've been getting mad deals, and working at one owned by vail is even better. got Brand new salomon STH 12's for 35 bucks. and just got salomon quest 120's for free in exchange for my old boots.
