Stoked to hit the slopes? SB has new ski & snow gear!

The mountains have finally gotten some snow, and winter weather fans can’t wait to start carving fresh tracks.

Whatever your favorite winter sport, Sports Basement is featuring more new ski and snowboard products than ever before, all designed to get you out on the slopes for another glorious year in the mountains.

We are psyched to bring in K2 as a new partner this season. Their product line brings everything from extreme powder monsters like the Obsethed and Kungfujas; to frontside rippers like the Force, Impact and Rictor; to backside beasts like the Sideshow, Brightside and Hardside.

Getting you to the snow, even if we have to fly you there

You’re stoked about our 20% off till it snows event, right? We’ve decided to add a little more fun: a raffle. With a grand prize of two round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the U.S, and second and third prizes of $100 and $25 gift cards. Make a $5 purchase and you’ll be issued a raffle ticket. Fill it out, drop it in the bin, and hope you win. Easy, right?

This Wednesday, Jan. 25, from 5pm-8pm we’re hosting a raffle party at each of our four stores. While you don’t have to be there to win, we’ll have some extra goodies for people who are – like lift tickets, more gift cards, free rentals, and other fun stuff. Dress in your favorite party clothes and/or snow gear, and celebrate the start of ski season.

Everything in our stores is 20% off (well, almost everything*, but you get the picture). Need a new tri suit? It’s 20% off. A new tent? It’s 20% off. New ski jacket? 20% off. Want a helmet cam, GPS watch or down jacket? Now is the time to get ‘em. When it snows, and it will snow, this sale will be off. Until then, visit any of our stores to gear up and get ready for trail runs, skis runs or both!

Make miles out of mild weather

The sun is shining and the Bay Area’s trails and streets lack their usual January puddles. This brisk, fall-like weather is a bummer for snow enthusiasts, but local cyclists are stoked to be off the trainer and out on the road and trail. But it is a little cold, or at least chilly enough to numb fingers and ears during a long ride.

The winter chill doesn’t require an entirely new cycling wardrobe, just a few tweaks to keep you warm and comfortable until spring.
