You know your boots are your most important piece of gear, so don't wait to think about them 'til the first snow is in the 10-day forecast.❄️

Right now is a great time to get in for a boot fitting - get ahead of the masses and start dialing in your foundational piece of gear. We've got decades of combined expertise on our team, and we're not known as Tahoe's premier bootfitters for nothin'.

Every year we say it can't get better. Every year, it does. 🤯

Thanks to everyone who took part in the sale this year - especially those who braved the rain on Friday morning! Whether selling your skis, buying a new pair, or both, we hope the event delivered something that got you excited for winter.

➡️ Sellers: To see if your skis sold, and for more information on next steps, check the link we texted you when you dropped off your gear.

SALE STARTS TOMORROW ⛷️
And the set up is looking stacked 👌

Set your alarm - we’re meeting here at 8am (lining up early 👀) for the ski sale of the year. Skis on skis on skis, all at incredible prices. 😱

You’ve got tomorrow (Friday, September 4) through Sunday (September 6), 8am to 6pm, to swing by and snag some great deals.

A few pro tips:
➡️ The line forms before 8am for first pick. If you want the early selection, treat this like a powder day and hustle over.
➡️ If you’re buying for more than yourself - looking at you, race parents 👀 - jot down everyone’s sizes and ski lengths ahead of time.
➡️ Know what you want before you get there. If you hesitate on a sick pair, you’ll probably lose out. Spot it, grab it.

We’re looking forward to the BIG day.... See you at the shop! 🤘

We caught up with Stan to show you a little bit of what you can expect to find this weekend … but this is just the tip of the iceberg - on Friday morning, our parking lot will be filled with skis. Hundreds of pairs (Stan estimates 800 in fact). 😳 Backcountry setups, powder skis, race, all-mountain, park, and everything in between. Epic deals on bikes, too. Guaranteed FOMO (fear of missing out) if you don’t come take a look. 👀

Quick tip ➡️ the line starts forming before 8 on Friday. The early bird gets the worm, as they say.
