Edmonton Sled Show - best deals found

[Levithan]

Last time the show and deals were any good was about 4-5 yrs ago.
Didn't go this year and by the comments, glad i didn't.
Would have been a waste of 30 dollars plus fuel.
Just ordered the on sale clothing gear off martins website, same prices as the show anyhow.
Won't be going to the show again.

Klim suit for $600 at Prairie Recreation. Those guys always have good deals

 

[Quicksand]

Picked up a jethwear monosuit for the wife, saved $130, and some klim base layers for a couple bucks off, plus saved cost of fuel, food, parking and admission because I got it at Ralph's instead of driving to the ****tiest city in Alberta

Martin had 509 helmets going cheap. Picked up another set of 509 goggles and a last years lid that was only $149 didn't need another helmet but was a smoken deal. Paid $100 for a toque at Limitless to get in on that raffle. Grabbed a klim gear bag, line up was super long as i waited till the end of the night to get that, said piss on this line and walked out...mad at myself i didn't buy the damn bag, really needed that one.... Surprised there wasn't all the wrap guys there from last year. Always good to run into old friends and meet some new faces from Snow&Mud. Show isn't what it used to be but i will always go and i'm always glad i did. Didn't make it to the Brewhouse, was making the best of a last long cold night on the Harley. Annnd thanks Lyle for letting me buy my old jacket back haha Good to see you guys!!

I'd agree the quality of the show has definitely decreased over the last 5-6 years, but imo I thought the show was a little bit better this year than last. Less of the "related" booths like 400 lodging/hotel companies, recovery aid bs, etc. Didnt buy any big ticket items (except my VARDA season membership), just enjoyed getting out for a couple hours with my buddies.

I like the idea of the one stop shop. Not a fan of coming to the city and running around trying things. It's nice that you can try FXR gear then go try the TOBE or KLIM and pick that one you liked best.
I would like to see more items.
I'm also happy to buy any new items that are 2 years old for discounted prices, but it's been years since I've seen deals on those

Needed new bibs and coat so ended up buying last seasons Klim Lochsa from Martins. Still pricey at $800 with their discount.

 

[snochuk]

Got a pair of Klim boots for 10% off and the HD Ski dollies by the old sleds were only $80.
I liked the show even if it is smaller.

Ya leaves da house ya send money.......
A least this was on sledding stuff.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

I found the beer gardens had a good deal.
Look poor and someone bought you a beer.
Thanks everyone...lol

Hey Guys with **** economy we are in and the amount the venders have to pay to be in the show and then pay the staff that they have there to help, do you think there would be or should be "DEALS" she's a tough go out there right now. Tough to give deals when your only maken 20% on sled stuff.

Everyone just needs to hold it together while we try and get through this rut...support can be shown in many ways, and at the end of the day civility just needs to be in the vocabularity and our actions.

Picked up brake resevoir protector.
Some metal brackets for the side panels to get rid of the plastic crap ones.
Season pass for Revy.
Show was okay in my books. Yes, a little smaller but good anyways.
Was a win win for me because fall home show was on at the same time.
We were even given some complementary tickets for that.
Made wife walk around sled show, so I had to spend a few hours doing her show.
All good.
Good to see the people and have some conversations and laughs.
Good place to go for your one stop shop and compare needs.

Come on snow and see yah on the hills.
Retired now so. Well, I can be like Fernie snow and pick and choose whenever I want to ride.

It is sweet. The one problem is that most that are retired are so beat up they don't ride much so finding that type of person is a crap shoot. The one positive about retirement is riding in the middle of the week. We don't have to push the weekends!! Maybe we will meet on the hill this year?

Was so hungover I couldn’t even bring myself to buy anything, wife bought that 600 game Nintendo stick, a toque and some epicure stuff. I grabbed a hoodie and hat from alpyne apparel, hardly any good deals on gear from what I’ve seen in the past and the gloves I wanted basically cease to exist in my size it seems. Then tried to go buy a y pipe and clutching from Benny and niner but they were busy talking to people every time I went by their booth so I said screw it

Oh I thought you’d be there, I knew you never worked there just don’t know what you look like just kind of assumed the tall guy was you because everytime I went by he was talking to people about your sled , my bad, either way was a bust for me, go out and drink at On the Rocks they said , it’ll be fun lol
