It’s also the perfect time to snag exclusive Expo specials and ensure you’re loaded with all necessary winter gear for your next trip to the mountains. This year, we’ve worked hard to ensure that the main retailer offers huge promotions and packages on gear, accessories, skis and boards for visitors to take home the very same day.”
