These online shred-shops trump all!

In case you are still one of the many clueless people out there that likes to buy their gear at Ski Barn, you may want to read further. They are sister-companies with the same policies and similar inventories. Here’s why www.backcountry.com and www.dogfunk.com rule all:

- They don’t sell patio furniture in the off-season.
You can find a lot of last season’s gear online year round, and chances are it’ll probably be on sale, too.

- They have more than Burton, K2 and Salomon on their shelves.
Believe it or not, there are more than the 4 or 5 brands out there than what your Ski Barn orders and displays. Variety is the spice of life. Why not try something ELSE for a change?

- Just because the board fits between your chin and nose does NOT mean it’s your perfect size.
More and more websites are hopping on the bandwagon and having “Live Chat” available. That way you can talk to one of backcountry’s “Gear Heads.” They’re based out of Utah. They know their shit. They’ll tell you exactly what you need to know AND give you some suggestions based on your style and experience of riding.

- You saw this sick jacket once, but it was from a few seasons ago…
Check out www.backcountryoutlet.com. Try finding THIS selection in Ski Barn’s sale rack.

- No tax AND free shipping.
Pick up all your gear at once or at least get the total over $50 and you will qualify for free shipping. It’s a no brainer. Save yourself the extra cash and pick up a new beanie. Everyone can use a new beanie.

- The BEST return/exchange policy you’ve ever heard of. Seriously.
I’ll just copy and paste it since you won’t even believe me:

Unconditional 100% Guarantee

We guarantee complete satisfaction and an unlimited lifetime warranty. If at any time — now, next month, in 30 years — you’re not 100% satisfied, send your gear back for a full refund. No questions asked.

Just please don’t be a d-bag and abuse the return policy. They want you to buy with confidence, not break even at the end of a season.
