Avalanche Ski/Snowboard Sale & Travel Expo

The Avalanche Sale is back at the Phoenix Convention Center South starting Friday, October 30, for its annual run of winter gear discounts. It's the largest ski and snowboard sale and swap in the Western United States, and if you're getting ready for the snow season, this is where you'll find the bulk of the deals.

The sale is built around steep discounts on new winter clothing, equipment, and gear. It's a swap as much as a sale, so you'll find a mix of new stock and pre-owned gear alongside the new arrivals. If you're looking to replace a worn-out jacket, upgrade your boots, or pick up a fresh set of skis or a new board without paying full retail, this is the place to do it. It's a one-stop shop for the essentials you'll need before the first snow falls.

Ski Pro has been behind the event since 1980, and the sale has been a fixture for over 40 years, which gives it a bit of a legacy in the skiing and snowboarding community. It's a long-running tradition for people to gear up here before heading to the mountains.

Admission is free, so you can walk in and browse without any pressure. The sale runs across three days: Friday, October 30, from 6 PM to 10 PM; Saturday, October 31, from 11 AM to 6 PM; and Sunday, November 1, from 11 AM to 3 PM. The venue is the Phoenix Convention Center South at 33 S 3rd St, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
