Spring Sales Around Vail

With the ski season wrapping up, be on the lookout for sales. Local shops are unloading their winter goods at great prices.

If you’ve had your eye on a certain pair of skis, boots or parka, but felt your pocketbook couldn’t take the sting, now is a good time to revisit your winter wish list.

Sure, your days of using new winter gear may be numbered, but there is still snow falling, and the bargains are out.

With the ski season wrapping up, local shops are unloading their winter goods and you’re likely to find the outerwear you’ve been coveting all season for half-price.

Skis, boards, gloves, hats, boots, jackets, pants and “Vail” branded sweatshirts are all on sale as shops prepare to trade out their inventory for summer wear and warm-weather equipment. Many shops are also unloading their rental and demo gear on the cheap, so if you truly loved a board or a pair of skis you tried earlier this season, you just might be able to finish off the season on them and get them dialed in for next year.

Places to find deals in Vail include Buzz’s, Patagonia, Quicksilver, Roxy, Billabong and Vail Sports, to name just a few. For a comprehensive list of shops of every ilk throughout the valley, check out our shopping guide.
