i don't know what type of deal you have with you affiliates and what are the stipulations of it. so i am going to be vague, unless you want me to be more specific, so i don't create any friction between you and your affiliates i found a reputable website, that has a brick-and-mortar store, that ,for Americans not exclusively but specifically, it is possible to get a discount better than most american ski websites. they even have some older stock that older stock that is really discounted (2023 head core 93 for $292 USD without taxes) and would open up the sports it is technically international shipping but for some examples i personally bought. last year for my first set of skis(atomic Mavrick 86C in 176) i was dead set of getting head attack bindings and i ended up buying 2023 head attack 14 GW bindings for $143 USD. the price difference is big enough that you can probably get at least one set of skis all tuned up during the next ski season. just a direct example you showed 2024 bent 110s for 529.94 USD no taxes on this website i found the same skis for 461.03 USD without taxes. but like most ski stores a lot of the most popular skis in the most normal sizes are usually sold out. i won't say its always the cheapest but its goood a place i always check. even now I'm waiting for the 2024 line blade skis to go on sale. if you want me to post the website I'm happy to do so. I can even email you the site so you can check it out beforehand so you can due your due diligence.
also that atomic maverick 95ti deal is crazy. was looking into those last year due to your recommendation of them and the 88s but i couldn't find one in my budget.
Love your "deal videos". Remember that when ordering online you can often get additional coupon codes or first time buyer incentives. I bought my Ripstick Blacks for an amazing deal.
I bought the ‘22 QST 92 with bindings from Ski Essentials last season for $400. I didn’t even need them but I just couldn’t say no. SE is a bit hit and miss but you can get good deals there. They have the Black Crows Justis on sale now for around $600. Might have to get those too! 🤔
Reguarding the ability to purchase 2025 skis in 2024, you really need to look around to find what you want. I was able to get the next year's bents from Ski Town All Stars for like 530$. Definitely think there was a surge of people trying skiing for the first time for the last two years and it has kinda toned down from this bad season. Love this vids!
Definitely agree. Lot of inventory out there. I think they are over producing... I'm not sure why they thought they would sell so many skis. It's the type of item that you only buy once every 3 to 10 years
But good for us who may need another pair of skis or willing to buy it (just for the sake of good deals and cant pass it up) if u have the money to spare.
We're you in 3 ft deep powder or more on the 110 Bents? I bought the Volkl Revolt 104 for powder and park and absolutely adore them! However, after 3+ft on Cinco De Mayo at Squaw I felt like I needed something wider for the REALLY deep days. I know you also like the QST, I see it in Tahoe, but it just doesn't speak to me from what I've read and heard. Well maybe the 112 QST :)
5:50 So here's what's been going on, and you will not only see this in skis but also in clothing (Spyder, Flylow, Trew, etc.) The supply chain interruptions and clogged ports in 2021 - 2023 caused some brands to miss shipments in the 2021 -2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, so they had all this product stuck on boats that wasn't available for sale until like February or March when they needed to have it in October or November. All the prices were really high in those seasons. Now, they have a flood of prior year stuff, and they over-ordered and early shipped for 2023-2024, and everybody has now been caught with too much inventory going into the summer. ln clothing, I'm seeing Spyder at up to 70% off and Flylow at up to 50% and I've never seen price drops this steep. It should make for one heck of a summer for shopping. BTW, I'm considering new skis/bindings/poles/boots right now, but I'm holding out for maybe another month or two.
Totally makes sense, it's always imo just how much of a gamble you want to take with sizing or just how particular you are. If you're not too picky waiting makes sense, but if you're looking for something very specific I always recommend paying a touch more (you're still getting a good overall discount buying now imo)
@@RicketySkiReviews Good point. I'm planning on buying Nordica Unleashed 98 skis in 174 or 180 lengths, so fairly specific. My sister-in-law works for BOA, so I might wait for the new 2015 boots. So, probably skis and bindings now, boots in September-October.
Thanks For Watching Everyone! Hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful! Have a great weekend.

@@edwardrictofen7937 yeah not a ton of 88s this summer I noticed too
i belive my first message was deleted which is why that one starts with also.
@edwardrictofen7937 oh weird, I don't delete messages, but sometimes youtube auto moderates certain words and phrases

Oh great point! Also IIRC evo price matches and takes off 5%. I've used this before and it worked really well to get my boots discounted heavily
Love these videos and the straight talk!
Thanks!

I bought 24 QST 106 with 24 strive 14 for $600 from ski essential. You got good deal
Yeah, sometimes they have very good bundles

I much prefer a backyard playground studio to some slick green screen or other production. Nice hair too lol! Mine's greying quickly lol!
Haha thanks!
@@RicketySkiReviews You're welcome! As a new Snowbunny I felt obligated to harass you just a touch lol!
@anthonyalpha4118 oh awesome! Thanks for supporting the channel!
@@RicketySkiReviews My Pleasure you're very welcome!
so many deals but I just straight up don't need any new skis for a while
True, sometimes the best deal is just enjoying what you already have!

Yeah I think total, hard to recall the exact amount overnight though
@@RicketySkiReviews Thank you 110 Bent's on my radar!
Hey I have those same 95ti mavs from 2022. I got them for like $180 heavily used demos.
That's why you're the value KING!

@andrewdiamond2697 oh nice I think 2025 will be a good year for Nordica
Yes, we love ski deals!
Awesome thanks so much for the feedback!
QST98 vs QST106? How do they differ besides width? Any differences in feel or character?
so many differences, It just depends on what you want, I have reviews on both of those skis if that's helpful.
Line has big sale. Direct from their site 60% off
hey, can you review the black crows camox, I love black crows but don't know if i should get the camox over the Atris
Would love to, hoping to get on a pair this winter
"...TODAY!" Love the vids man
Thanks
Wouldn't be the same without Elliot's wild hairdo.
It's become it's own character
@@RicketySkiReviews 😆

Wdy mean?
