Hunt for eggs, have an extensive breakfast and all go to the residential boulevard, the Easter weekend has arrived! People have also left for the Alps to end the ski season. The conditions at the moment are not what you would expect at this time of year. Fresh snow is still falling! The end of April is also the ideal time to buy new skis. At many stores you can currently benefit from high discounts on last season’s material. You can now buy new skis and/or ski boots (online) at competitive prices!
WINTER SPORTS BUSINESS IN THE NETHERLANDS
Instead of IKEA or the home boulevard, you can also choose to take a tour of the various winter sports shops during Easter. The sale has started almost everywhere, so it pays to look for new skis now. There are large winter sports stores everywhere in the Netherlands that sell their outdated equipment at high discounts. If you value that little bit of extra service, it is better to look for a local winter sports shop. Here you may pay a little more, but you can be sure that you will leave with a pair of skis that suit you.
Order new skis online
If you know exactly what kind of skis you are looking for, it is best to conduct your search for a new pair of skis online. At web shops you often benefit from even higher discounts than you do at a normal store. If you also search beyond national borders, there are even more price advantages to be had. Some German web shops are very competitively priced and currently offer good quality ski sets (with binding) at bargain prices.
The shipping costs from Germany are often comparable to those in the Netherlands, so you don’t have to give up on this.
BUY SECOND-HAND EQUIPMENT?
Now that the ski season is coming to an end, second-hand equipment will soon be offered on the Internet and in stores. Before you decide to buy used skis, it is wise to pay attention to a number of things. The most important thing is that you check the base and edges carefully! Check whether the bottom of the skis shine with wax and whether there are no deep scratches. It is important that the edges of the skis are still nice and straight and that they have not already been completely ground away. Scratches on the top are less important, but of course you want a ski that you can be seen with. The skis that were rented last winter will be on sale within the next few weeks.
