SkiEssentials, the largest retailer of skiing and snowboarding equipment in the East, is offering our subscribers substantial savings on new gear this season. Snowology subscribers can receive 20% off all 2026 or regularly priced products through the end of March 2026 and the discount can be used for up to 5 entire orders! That's got to be the best deal on new equipment outside of a sale that we have ever seen offered. It's double the discount they offered our subscribers last season and on top of that allowing multiple uses only makes it that much better. Subscribers can access their discounts with the following link:

This is a big deal for Snowology as we are a regionally focused source of weather and news with deep roots in the ski and ride community, and we wanted to KEEP IT LOCAL when it comes to finding a retailer to partner for our community in the East, and we are elated to have SkiEssentials coming back.

40 Years of Serving the East

SkiEssentials got its start 40 years ago as a small tuning shop called Bedside Tuners in Stowe, VT. They became an online retailer in 2004 operating out of the basement of their first brick and mortar store which evolved into Pinnacle Ski and Sports and Inner Bootworks serving the Stowe and Greater Burlington, VT communities as their premier retailer. In 2022 they expanded their physical footprint when they purchased Basin Sports, the oldest and largest snowsports retailer in Killington, VT.

Reviews by Northeast Skiers on Northeast Terrain and Conditions

SkiEssentials is best known for their annual Ski Test which has become the benchmark and industry standard for how skis should be evaluated. Rather than providing generic rankings, their reviews focus on the unique characteristics and personality of each ski they test so that individuals can better determine what is right for them. Last season they also added snowboards to their testing lineup.

Not only is SkiEssentials the leading source of unbiased reviews and a literal encyclopedia of skis, these tests are done by Northeasterners, on Northeast terrain, and in Northeast conditions ranging from Ice Coast hardpack to the bountiful blower pow delivered by the Northern Green Mountains of Vermont. It is not just important to have reviews based on the same conditions that you will experience on the slopes, it's also something we have found our community widely values.

We want to send a huge thanks to SkiEssentials for coming back and offering our subscribers such an outstanding deal. To say that we are excited would be an understatement!
