god this thread is old and dead... anyone trying to catch last minute deals? what sites have you guys been using? link me some new ones, and hopefully this will help some noobs out for this coming season.
ones that I use:
6pm.com
snowboard at 6pm.com (returns suck here, so don't plan on returning unless something goes wrong or you live really close. shipping area is in middle of kentucky. abuse the filters, just trying to search "burton" will not turn up much. older gear but definitely cheapest prices I've seen around.)
tactics
Skate. Snowboard. Surf. Clothing. Shoes. | Tactics Board Shop (returns/shipping are hassle free. good deals to be found.)
evo
evo | Mountain, Street & Water | Community, Culture & Giving Back (pretty good customer service and price match, but deals have been slacking as of late. it's like the best buy of adventure.)
back country S&C whiskey (back country is the parent site, and all 3 are under the back country umbrella. I think..)
www.gearscan.com searches all 3 but I'm getting dizzy looking through all that stuff.. lol (thanks
@dave785)
back country
Backcountry - Outdoor Gear & Clothing for Ski, Snowboard, Camp, & More | Backcountry.com (high tech stuff.. usually out of my price range. trying to filter through crap is almost as bad as whiskey. ak457 here. if evo is best buy, these guys are the good guys (90's reference))
steep&cheep
Snowboarding Gear, Clothes, & Helmets - Up to 70% Off | Steep and Cheap (bigger selection than whiskey, less than back country. found some good deals here, and it's easier to search/filter products by what you're looking for while still being around the prices of whiskey.)
whiskey militia
WhiskeyMilitia.com: Private Stash (finding a deal is like pulling teeth. especially finding your size unless you're a midget.)
corbetts
Online and in-store retailer of all the best brands - Corbetts Ski + Snowboard (prices are expensive as fuck... good thing it's in canadian! convert the canadian pesos into murican dollars and that's 30% off new gear or their sale items. thanks
@Rogue)
windward
https://www.windwardboardshop.com/winter-melt (pretty fair pricing on things you might actually want. selection is limited to mostly burton. they do sell other brands too..)
that's all I have to say about that...
