I need ski gear for a first time skier. What websites have the best prices, selections?

Question

I'll be in Jackson Hole during December, so any advice on the best gear is greatly appreciated, too.

Answer 1

Especially for first timers, since ski gear is so personal, you really should get it with the help of a store, live and in person. Boot fit is so critical, buying online seems ridiculous to me. Skis themselves aren't too bad bought online but if you're a first timer you really have no idea what to get. A real person would really help

Answer 2

This depends on how trendy you want to be. The best place for ski gear on the cheep is the Good Will. I found some amazing Haute Route powder skis in like new condition for $20 bucks. An amazing ski that some powder skiers swear by. good warm coats, sweaters and outerwear for a couple of bucks. You won't be stylish but you will be comfortable and not spend a mint! An you will be amazed. Many times you will find last years top of the line ski gear on the racks in like new condition. The real style-rs on the slope are known to throw out their gear every year and buy new. Your benefit if you can find something in your size!

Answer 3

Suggest you rent "beginner package" instead of buy new gear ($$$). Rent gear at the ski shop at base of the mountain (or in town of Jackson)... Or if you plan to ski again this season, you should consider to rent a "seasonal ski gear package" at your local ski shop. While in Jackon Hole - Be sure to visit the Mangy Moose [ www.mangymoose.net ] after skiing and hit Bubba's (in town) for BBQ

Answer 4
