Ski Deals Worth Grabbing: Skis, Boots, and Jackets at Deep Discounts

Introduction

Ski gear pricing has been unusually soft this season. Inventory that typically clears out by early autumn is still sitting with retailers, and the discounts that followed are deeper than most late-season sales deliver. Several of the models below carry over into the coming season without meaningful changes, which means the only real difference between the discounted version and the full-price version is the model year on the topsheet.

The selection here covers all-mountain and powder skis, two ski boots, and an insulated snow jacket. Each entry notes the sizes that were available and the trade-offs worth knowing before you commit.

What Makes These Ski Deals Worth a Look

Two things set these offers apart from routine markdowns. The first is scale: a ski that normally lists near $750 is available for roughly $375, and a boot that normally sells for $700 is available for $350. The second is timing. Several of these models are not changing for the next season, so paying full price for the newer version buys you very little.

The main caveat is size availability. Discounts this deep tend to sell through quickly, and what remains is often at the ends of the size range rather than the middle. Stock also shifts from week to week, so the listings below reflect what was available when this roundup was put together.

Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition

The Ripstick 96 Black Edition is an asymmetrical all-mountain ski: the left and right skis are shaped differently, and that design helps initiate the turn rather than waiting for input. It is listed at $69.97 in a 188cm length, against an original list price of around $900.

The model is understood to carry over unchanged into the next season, so there is no redesign to wait for. At 188cm it is a lot of ski, which makes it a natural fit for taller or heavier skiers and a poor fit for anyone light or short enough to struggle with the length.

Atomic Bent 110

The Bent 110 is a powder-oriented freeride ski priced at $374.98, roughly half its usual $750. Available lengths are 164, 172, 180, and 188cm, which gives most skiers a usable option without compromise.

Atomic was among the brands that ended the season with unsold inventory, and that is what pushed pricing this low. The ski is unchanged for the following season. If a powder ski is already on your list, this is a straightforward opportunity; if it is not, the discount is not a reason to buy one.

Atomic Maverick 95 TI

The Maverick 95 TI is a 95mm all-mountain ski reduced from $750 to $374.98. It pairs Horizon Tech flotation with the carving character of the Maverick line, which makes it a convincing daily driver for skiers who spend most days at a resort and want one ski to cover most conditions.

It runs a little wider than some all-mountain options, which helps in softer snow without giving up much on groomers. For a western skier looking for a single ski, this is one of the better value propositions in this roundup.

That balance is the appeal: enough width to stay afloat off piste, enough shape to hold an edge when the snow firms up. Remaining stock is limited to the 2024 model year, so availability depends on your length.

Salomon QST 98

The QST 98 is down to $325 in 169, 176, 183, and 189cm, and it is not changing for the next season. The double sidewall construction gives the ski a composed, connected feel through the apex of the turn.

Its strongest case is as a travel ski. A 98mm waist is wide enough to enjoy powder days and narrow enough to carve comfortably on groomers, which is exactly the range you want when you are flying somewhere and can only bring one pair. If you are between lengths, 183cm adds a little float without much cost in quickness.

Black Crows Atus

The Atus has dropped from $950 to $569.75, which keeps it under $600 in most places before tax. Lengths available are 178, 184, and 190cm.

This is the most expensive item in the roundup, and it earns its place by being genuinely fun: a playful, confident freeride ski that rewards a skier who likes to push. If your budget is firm at a few hundred dollars, the other skis here make more sense. If you can stretch, the discount is substantial.

Salomon S/Pro MV 120

The S/Pro MV 120 is a 120-flex boot built on a medium-volume last, reduced from $700 to $350 and available from 26.5 through 29.5. New boots under $400 are uncommon, and half price on a boot of this class is rarer still.

Fit is the deciding factor. A medium-volume last suits some feet and not others, so this is a deal worth taking only if you already know the shape works for you or you are prepared to have the shell adjusted. Boots are the piece of ski equipment most worth buying new, since a worn shell or a packed-out liner undermines everything else you ski on.

Atomic Hawk Prime 110

The Hawk Prime 110 is a softer-flex version of the 120 in the same line, priced at $299.90 in sizes 25.5 through 31.5. That is a very wide size range for a boot at this price, and it means most skiers can find something close to their size.

A 110 flex suits lighter skiers, less aggressive skiers, or anyone who prefers a more forgiving forward flex. The value case is easy to make: at under $300, a new boot in this range costs less than a pair of aftermarket liners.

That comparison is worth sitting with for a moment. A fresh shell and liner at this price is a better use of money than patching up a boot that has already lost its shape. As with any boot purchase, confirm the fit before committing.

The North Face ThermoBall Eco Snow Triclimate Jacket

The ThermoBall Eco Snow Triclimate is a three-in-one jacket reduced to $279.96 from $400. The remaining colorways are last season’s, not used stock, so the only difference from a current-season jacket is the palette.

Three-in-one construction gives you an insulated midlayer and a shell that can be worn together or separately, which covers a wide range of days from cold storm cycles to warmer spring conditions. The fit and color options were both well regarded, and this is the lowest price this jacket has been.

Buying Advice for End of Season Deals

The deals are good, but discipline still matters. Buy gear you will actually use this season; a deep discount on a ski you do not need is not a saving.

Prioritise boots if you are replacing anything. They affect how every ski you own performs, and prices under $400 for a new boot are uncommon. Skis that carry over unchanged into the next season are the safest purchases, because you are not giving up a redesign to save money. Check the size chart carefully, and expect the middle sizes to disappear first.

If you are shopping for more than one item, sort by how soon you need it. Boots and jackets have a longer useful life than a ski you might replace in a season or two, so they are usually the better place to spend first.

Conclusion

This is an unusually good moment to buy ski gear. The Ripstick 96 Black Edition at $69.97 and the Salomon QST 98 at $325 stand out for pure value, the Bent 110 and Maverick 95 TI bring premium powder and all-mountain performance down to around half price, and the two boots on this list deliver new-boot performance for less than the cost of many used pairs. If your size is available and the ski matches how you ride, there is little reason to wait for the next model year.
