5 Reasons Why Summer is a Great Time to Buy Ski Gear!

Once the mountains are clear from snow, and you pack up your ski gear for hibernation, it becomes easy to forget about it and move onto your summer hobbies. While here at Alpin Haus, we couldn’t be any more excited to build pools, and help create great memories for our community this summer, a part of us is still standing at the summit waiting for that next run! If you find yourself feeling the same, we have some great reasons as to why you can enhance your ski and snowboard experiences, even during the swim season. Here are five reasons why summer is a great time to buy ski and snowboard gear:

1. Summer Prices Keep the Wallet Happy!

Making a stop down at your local Alpin Haus and checking out the prices of the high-performing gear we have will have you wishing winter was back. With brand new gear from the past season at large discounts, you can find skis, snowboards, and apparel that will fit your style, and budget, perfectly.

2. More Time to Find the Perfect Gear

If you are researching what new gear you want to purchase during the ski season, it is possible that you may make a decision without exhausting every option. Since the season is months away, you can get all the info you need before deciding what pair of skis or what bindings you want to roll with. Finding that perfect combo that’ll keep you right all winter is a key to a good season on the powder. We recommend stopping by our Latham or Amsterdam locations and talking directly to our ski team, as they can give you expert advice, answer any questions, and let you know what to expect for new gear in the upcoming season!

3. Wide Selection to Choose From

Even though it is the off-season, our team still enters each day to fully stocked racks and walls with gear! Stopping by and browsing in the summer gives you way more choices, especially in apparel. We are always getting restocked with top brands like Ski The East, Helly Hansen, The North Face, and more, ensuring you the most choices at the best prices.

Bonus: In addition to these top brands, we are stocking more and more Alpin Haus branded apparel, giving you the chance to be the first to rep your favorite ski shop on the mountain this winter!

4. Beat the Winter Crowd

Once it hits Black Friday, the ski season is in full-effect, out on the slopes, and in the ski shops. Shopping now provides a slow-paced environment to see what is on the shelves, try on some gear, and brainstorm if you want to try out anything different this winter. This is especially helpful if you are buying for your kids, or bringing a friend along that is new to skiing and snowboarding. This gives them a chance to take it all in and find what is great for them as well!

5. Helps You Stay Ready to Shred The Second Snow Hits

Don’t get caught sitting around if we get some early season snow! Making sure you are prepared now will ensure you are packed, prepared, and ready to hit the powder! Our team will go through it all with you, no matter what you need to prepare.

Stop by either our Amsterdam or Latham ski shops, as we are open year-round and stocked with everything you will need to have the ski season of your life!
