Which one is more exciting?

What a better way to start the new season than with new gear.

So what to expect in terms of Black Friday deals for skis and snowboards is a question many have.

What To Expect For Black Friday Ski & Snowboard Deals 2017

For this 2017-18 season, I believe the best bargains will be on jackets, pants and accessories.

This was good for the retailers, but not so good for us deal shoppers.

The hard part for me is actually buying the gear.

Usually, much of it simply comes down to, what kind of deal am I getting?.

How much better will these more expensive skis actually ski for me?

Am going to like the swing weight of these new poles?

Ski boots are a different story though.

It simply comes down to how well they fit and ski.

Their is no compromise for a deal on ski boots.

So I get fitted properly, buy orthotics and pay the going rate.
