In a moment of idleness, I wandered into a TK Maxx today and…. they had three ski jackets on the rails. So maybe the skiing season (well the buying bit) is now underway.

jtr, Were they next to one another, or scattered about all over the shop ?
Life is too short to go sorting through TK Maxx.

More or less next to each other in the adults jackets section. I was looking for kids ski jackets because in past years they seem to have included a few ski jackets with their "back to school" stuff at really low prices but unfortunately not this time. I'm not sure I can work up the enthusiasm to go back soon unless I've more time to kill.

My teens need some new ones too. They will either be from TK maxx, or our local Quiksilver outlet shop.

I couldn't stay away from TKMaxx for as long as I hoped, so whilst mrs jtr was doing her Imelda Marcos impersonation in the shoe section, I wandered around and noticed they have opened up the skiing bit with three rails of clobber, mainly ACG, Dare 2 Be, Columbia, Helly Hanson and Quicksilver stuff.
So the season has started… well according to the Swindon TKMaxx that is.

TK MAXX!!!!!!!
Not that i got any problem with them but when it comes to ski clothing i wouldnt buy from them. You know the old saying ''buy cheap, buy twice''
But if they had some good quality stuff that was a few years old that was just super reduced i might have a go

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Viceversa, they have some very good quality ski clothing in there. When you have growing teenagers, the gear doesn't fit well before it's worn out.

Helen Beaumont, Hear, hear! We have had some fantastic stuff (not just ski wear) from TK Maxx. If you aren't too bothered by the two liitle words that often appear on the price tag (Last Season) you can pick up excellent quality 'named' items for far less than original price. With two growing boys, it's a great shop. Just avoid Saturday afternoons!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I got a pair of RipCurl Goretex ski/snowboard pants last week reduced from £195 to £60. Last seasons, but they are quality.

Think it must depend where you are. Our local one was fine for the men, but too full of fashion jackets for the women. Nothing top quality. And no decent trousers (except for boarders). But I will be going back for goggles once they're in.
So I went to Cheshire Oaks instead and got some fab Helly Hansen trousers half price and a Gortex jacket (which was still pricey, but no longer astronomical, specially coz they chucked Gortex gloves in for free). Cheap (but good quality) base and midlayers too.
Feeling very happy now

Costco, liverpool. Tresspass jackets £38, salopettes £18. Ok not the best make nor the best colours but jackets seem to be well constructed, snow skirt, goggles pocket, inner sleeve with thumb loops etc... if you want cheap 
Also Outdoor World have started their ski sale
