Westbound Boarder

Have nothing to do on Wednesday?  Now you do - grab a bud and head on up to Mt. High, because they have an awesome deal going on.  Buy one lift ticket, get a second for free!

One thing I love about this mountain is the number of awesome deals you can find on tickets and passes (price wise, this hill knocks Bear out of the park).  Mt. High knows its audience, and it knows how to make the mountain fun (and affordable) for everyone.  Check out my review of the resort coming later this week!

I’ve needed a new board for quite some time now… and when I was visiting Oregon this past weekend, I finally made the big investment.

If you’re thinking about getting new gear, now is the time to get it.  Many snowboard shops are trying to rid their shelves of the old stuff to make room for the surf.  Joe’s Sports for example has 40% off a lot of their snowboards (I almost got the Ride Solace) and 30% off Burton boards - the downside is that they don’t have many intermediate plus boards to choose from, but they have the best deals on boards and boots I’ve seen so far.  They also have great deals on helmets, outerwear, boots (I got discontinued Ride’s on sale from $169 to $50!) - basically, you name it, it’s probably on sale.

US Outdoor Store also has good end-of-season deals.  25% off most their boards, and they have a larger selection to choose from than Joe’s.  After much deliberation ($200 for the Solace at Joe’s or $300+ for a better board at US Outdoor store) I finally settled on the Burton Blender - the one Danielle and I have both been eyeing all season

If you’re thinking about getting a new board or gear, I’d recommend starting the search now if you want to save a few bucks.  Hurry though, both these places will sell out fast!
