 Poster: A snowHead

Is the Salomon offer on the BASI website the only one we’re getting this year? I’m sure the offer’s normally arrived in the post by now.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

beanie1, Is the BASI offer ever that good ? I find if you're happy with last years or older, you can usually do better elsewhere ?

ski, i agree one option is to just call up the distributors. I said i was basi and they would have given me the BASI offer level discount and one gave me a higher discount on a pair of ex demo skis.

Depends what you are looking for, and whether it's on offer. The BASI offer has XW Furys for about 60% of S&R price. The prices on softgoods are good too.
For years after K2 stopped participating officially, I'd ring them and they'd give me a decent deal when I mentioned BASI.

I spoke to Basi the other day and they said that the offers would be in the next Basi news, which will be out sometime in September.

in addition i see a lot of the problem is the lack of synergy between BASI the suppliers and retailers
in my book we want to help instructors out as much as possible, we are in business though and need to pay ther rent, most retailers get greedy and want ot make full margin on selling anything so are not interested in helping out or being involved with the BASI deal.....point being if they did help out, it would mean that the instructor came into the shop got to know what the shop did and can refer people to the shop it is a big circle of everyone helping everyone
on the flip side a few years back we handleds a basi deal for one brand, we were one of 4 retailers in teh UK where you could call up, place your order with that brand and skis were shipped to the store for you, the problme came when the supplier delivered late or not at all, and the instructor blamed the shop for not having their skis as the shop had handled the order
there must be a way to make it work but it relys on everyone being fair and not one group being greedy and wanting more of the share

I think skimottaret, summed it up. Most distributors will offer instructors deals. Best bet to call the distributors to see what stock they have left.

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

I agree. Most Distributor order books are closed in March, for September delivery, If you haven't got an order in by then, you'll just be lucky to get exactly what you want. I've found that if you call any distributor come November they'll be deals to be had, no matter who you are.
