2024 demo day ?

Post by Mogulee »

Does anybody know if there is a Killington ski demo day this season? If not are there any surrounding ski resorts that have demo days coming up? Thank you.

Feb 2-4 during the Subaru Fest was the last one at Killington. Getting late in the season for demos. Potter Brothers in the Snowshed Lodge charges $75 per day for unlimited demos and they have a large ski selection. If you have a regular Killington ski shop that you buy your skis from they may let you demo for a deal. Good luck shopping.

I was going to say they are usually early season.

We used to get a regular demo day here in southcentral PA and COVID killed those off. Kinda sucks not having that available

We did this at Snowshed for my son a few years ago. It was $50/day back then. Swap out as often as you like. Ended up needing 3 days to find the skis he loved. Crazy skis, too. Anyone ever even hear of the Sego Gnarwhal? His second favorite was from DPS. He just did not love any of the mass market skis. They allowed up to 2 days demo credit towards his purchase. Since he loved the skis so much we bought the actual demos, bindings and all. Where is HighwayStar to yell at me about heavy rental bindings? :D This was before the pandemic and we still have not seen another pair of skis like his on the slopes. I highly recommend demo'ing.
