Seattle Ski Show

There is so much going on this weekend that I feel like I just cannot possibly write about all of it, but, as a ski bum, I simply cannot overlook the fact that this weekend is the Seattle Ski Show.  There are tons of retailers represented, and it is a good place to stock up on your winter gear for this year.  They say you can get a great deal on gear at this ski show, but I worked at this ski show 3 years in a row and I did not see any super fantastic discounts.  However, the great thing about this ski show is you have representatives from the companies who make the gear who are experts.   Talk to one or several of those folks and they will set you up with exactly what you need.  I found my perfect snowboard at this event by talking to different reps and getting the scoop on what would be the best board for me.

Also, this is a great opportunity to speak to representatives from different ski areas.  You can find out information about the resorts, and several ski resorts are giving out 2-for-1 lift tickets for this winter.  That's pretty good swag.

The ski show takes place starting today, Friday:
