March Is Skiing's Smartest Buying Window
The Californer/10340507

LAKEWOOD, Colo. - Californer -- As spring break travel ramps up and skiers begin planning ahead for next season, retail experts say March has become skiing's most strategic buying window. From March 6 through March 29, Christy Sports will host its annual Ski-Ya-Later Sale, offering progressive discounts of up to 50% on current-season ski and snowboard gear across more than 50 locations in Colorado, Utah, Montana and Washington.

"Even in a lower snow year, spring storms can quickly change the narrative," said Jonah Drescher, mountain expert and spokesperson for Christy Sports. "March often brings some of the most enjoyable conditions of the season. As those systems roll through, skiers are reminded what they want to improve for next year. The Ski-Ya-Later Sale gives them a smart way to upgrade while selection is still strong."
