Source Warehouse Sale

[Euro_Trash]

Anyone know when it is this year? If I remember correctly it was over the September long weekend last year.

[Baron O' Funk]

Bump, I would love to know this too, pick up some gear.

[schocker]

should be the last weekend before the long weekend i think that is when it was last year. i want to go pick up a few pairs of shoes.

[jsn]

Do they sell snowboarding gear as well? I could use some new bindings...

yah, it is snowboard goods and clothes mainly.

[jsn]

Nice! I'll have to make sure to look into it when it rolls around

[jeremyn]

i remember that the ski cellar across from c.o.p. had a tent sale last sept, everything was 50% off or better.
hopefully this one is something like that.

[stevieo]

ya i need new boots and bindings for this winter maybe even a new pair of snowboarding pants
would love to know the dates if you guys know for sure

[Euro_Trash]

Talked to the guys at source on the weekend (08 Burton Freeride for the woman, Burton P1 bindings for me, new Smith goggles for the both of us ), it is on the weekend of the 23rd this year. It really isn't worth waiting until the sale for a lot of stuff though... we got 40% off of everything right now, and didn't have to dig through piles of crap to find it and fight off the 11 year olds and their moms.
Still going to go to the sale anyways since their outerwear stock is pretty poor right now

Edit: I lied. Smith sunglasses for me, Spy goggles for the both of us

[BokCh0y]

Never been to one of the the Sources warehouse sales, but would love to go. Where is the location for the sale?

Thanks.

read that quote again......

someone do tell about the shoe and jacket selection though please.

[bulaian]

well that was a bust... got there at 9:05 and saw the line of 150+ people standing at the gates, plus who knows how many around the corner behind the building. I turned back and went home :thumbsdow

[JVR1]

maybe they were just starting to let people in?

yah man, looks like you need to head down there and pick up some new clothes from your picture.

[bulaian]

they might have been... I didn't actually turn right around and head home, sat there for about 5 minutes contemplating whether or not I should wait, then left. I didn't see any movement though.


I've gotta pickup my gf from work in a few hours, I might swing by there again on the way home and I'll post again about how the lineups are

[JVR1]

i just talked to a friend that's been waiting in line for about an hour.. it's a pretty sh!tty wait.

[5.0]

I wonder if its really worth it? Anyone who has been today post up how it is!!

[dimi]

I got there at 7:20 and was like 15th in line. First kids were there at like 6:30 I believe. Waited for almost 2 hours. The line got HUGE close to 9:00. Got in, got my snowboard, but wasn't really impressed with the pricing. $580 for $399 for the snowboard I bought. That's only 30% off, shit I could get the same deal online.

3 years ago when I first went, it was sick because they kept it small and everything was around 60% off. Now the thing takes up half of the warehouse and half of Calgary is there today. Their binding selection...shit. Their boot selection was decent but they ran out of my sizes very fast.

Not impressed this year, and you guys about to go after the 1000 people that are going to go this morning, will not like the leftovers of the mob.

[bulaian]

damn 15th in line and still not able to get bindings... hmmm wonder if it's even worth trying to go in the afternoon.

[Impreza]

Just got back. Great deals as usual.

The SB selection SUCKS, and it is NOT 50-60% off, the cheapest pair was $89, and the Prods were $119+

The jacket selection was fucking awesome though, and 40% off all outerwear. Great deals on boots and bindings also (40%). Boards were a good deal as well, the boot and binding selection was pretty limited by the time I left though.

[Isaiah]

Bags: (packs and luggage) 50% off.
Boards: varies. I got a $725 retail Forum board for $299 so there are definitely good deals to be had on boards if you spend a while looking.
Jackets/outerwear: 40% off with great selection.
Bindings/boots: 40% off.
Accessories/goggles: 50% off.

I spent just under a grand and I think the selection was great on the things I was looking for. I got a Burton travel bag for $125 (reg $250), Volcom Jacket for $239 (reg $442), the Forum board, bindings, goggles (1/2 price), and a few other minor things.

I got there at 9:30, waited in line for a little over an hour, and I think it was well worth my time. When I left at about 12:00 there was no lineup at all.

[JVR1]

got there at 11:30... picked up a SB jacket, pants and burton gloves.. most varied from 40-50% off..

selection was decent.. lots of large/XL jackets that were nice but fit too big for me. they did have some foursquare stuff from this year that i was surprised to see on sale

i was hoping for a better selection in goggles and bindings but oh well..

still happy 350 bux later.

would have been nice to see better deals on boards, wanted to pick up something to beat up on for the early part of the season or maybe try out one of this libtech bananas.

Ya I must have been a few people behind you, we made it in with the first wave of people. Picked up new SB pants, board bag, day pack, sweat pants and a beanie, and a helmet, jacket, day pack and socks for the fiancee. All set for the season.

[stevieo]

dammit I had to work..
missed out on getting myself some new gear guess im gonna get raped come a few weeks

[dino_martini]

Dang Im in California. Oh well I guess I pay full price when I get back. I can never find stuff at these sales anyway. But always good deals :thumbsup:

[reno97637]

I was there at 8 AM and got in at about 9:15AM. Grabbed Burton boots, board, gloves, pants, some mp3 helmet, cheap googles, and a bunch of socks for $700. =)

It's on for the rest of the weekend, you might still get lucky and find something :thumbsup:

[cmodem]

good sale this year... year of the outerwear for sure... as for boards looks like you have to be absolute first... in line i saw ppl walking out with travis rice's, trs, customs, etc... they were there not super great deals.

but jackets were awesome... pants not so much.

oh was in line at 9:00 so saw most of the first ppl coming out what they had.

[a social dsease]

Got :
Special Blend Goretex jacket (25k)
Burton Idiom pants (20k)
Burton Triad bindings (brown/white)
electric goggles
burton hoody

I'm never gonna be wet again!!! Goretex FTMFW!!!!!

[schocker]

I picked up a burton jacket and two pairs of circas for about $250, pretty good sale, just had to look around to find some shoes I liked.

[Isaiah]

Stopped by the sale again today and was advised by a friend working the event that they are extending it until Friday. I was also told that some prices are negotiable at the till as they want to pack up the least amount of inventory possible at the end of the sale so the cashiers have been told to negotiate if required.

[me_dennis]

i went to the sale today too..
picked up a burton jacket gloves and boots, spy goggles, and a helmet for the gf and i for 500 bucks..
outerwear was 50% off,
boots and goggles 40% off
cant wait for the season to start!

In Cali, you'd probably get the same deals that we are getting at this "sale". My board, Graft 158 was $399 ($580 original :eek: ). Online they are $329 free shipping, no tax (for US). So even if you pay GST+customs its $370. Fuck the source sale.

I'm so stoked/stoned for the next season!

[eb0i]

I'm looking for boots and saw that they had quite a few Burton Hail Andy Warhol's. Anyone have any reviews on these?

[BokCh0y]

Some great deals there!!!!

Picked up a pair of Thirtytwo Nui boa's hehehe and a couple of burton board bags for the kids.

So has the sale really been extended till Friday? Anyone have confirmation?

Thanks.

[eb0i]

I was there yesterday and they were still open, so I am guessing they are extending it.

[BokCh0y]

^^^^

Hehehe sale was from Friday to Monday :D

Curious if it'll still be on today though....Isiah posted that it's been extended to this Friday?

[schocker]

yah, i have heard it is extended for this week. i might go back to get a toque, but most likely wont cause it is a long trip just for that.

Oh, haha. Hmmm, well if they are still open then I'll hit it up for some boots.

[eb0i]

I stopped by the Source in Shawnessy and asked the sales person there about the warehouse sale and they said it is on until September 1st!

[jeremyn]

just stopped in this afternoon after work and there is lots of stuff left, all jackets, snowpants are 50% off, i picked up myself some boots for 70% off and there are lots of nice goggles for 40% off.
Definably worth checking out.
Extended till monday!
