I don't buy online but my opinion is biased, since I work for an independent outdoor retail company.

I'd prefer to buy local, but there aren't any stores within 50 miles of my house that sell high performance xc gear.  The places I buy from online all have brick and mortar stores:  Berkshire Outfitters, High Peaks Cyclery, WebSkis, Caldwell Sport, Boulder Nordic, Gear West.

get the mouse out of your pocket.  

I like the EVO website from a user's standpoint. You can also occasionally stack a coupon on an already discounted product. I like Backcountry.com too, but not as much.

Promotive and Outdoor Prolink. And I love The Clymb, but I spend too much money on there.

I've bought a ton of stuff from Sierra Trading Post over the years, always great product, great service, and pretty good prices. Bought some stuff from Backcountry.com as well, seems to be a good resource. I like Ebay and CraigsList as well, you've just got to know what you're shopping for. I'd shop local but there is no 'local' within an hour++ of my home. OGE is pretty good if I feel like a road trip. Keene Valley is just too retail for my tastes.

steapandcheap.com  Owned by Backcountry, but can have some really good deals.  I'm sure they have a "what's selling now" ad deal you could get hooked up with.  

This poll isn't good for me since I buy from six or so companies online alone. Maybe I have a problem, and my problem is searching for the best in deals.

Small sample but so far backcountry.com and Sierra Trading Post look like reasonable choices.  Not sure how many of the votes for BC.com are really for steep and cheap.  Actually used BC.com yesterday and the online help/chat was primo.

Right now we're using Liftopia and Backcountry.com.

The Clymb is also part of network we joined.  I like the look of their ads.

i'm a big fan of Moosejaw too

The chat at backcountry is really good. Level nine sports has a good chat as well.

CONTENTS DELETED

I also like Moosejaw and Steepandcheap / WhiskeyMilitia

I also like CampSaver though its more of a general (rather than snow sports) outfitter. Then again so is the Clymb which I love as well.

Backcountry dropped us because of some NY state tax laws.

The Clymb sent me a canned (form letter) drop notice and I responded, saying I was bummed. For one thing their ads are very cool.  They got back to me personally and said they would let us keep it.

Still we have never sold anything for The Clymb.  Most of what we sell is Liftopia (70%) and Sierra Trading Post. We also sold a bunch of Backcountry before they dropped us.

Any input on The Clymb? Too much hassle to join to buy or... ?

Maybe you could link them to the forums page?

At the top of this forum there is a pinned post: Gear from NYSB Partners. Hasn't done much.  

The ad that has driven sales in past seasons has always been the Liftopia ad on the homepage.
