Mont Sale

ant said :

The ACT Ski Association holds a useful sale every year, but I usually miss it due to their amazingly ineffective publicity. I think it’s usually in May.

According to the Snowsports ACT website, their sale is due to be held on the 2nd Saturday in May. I put that as being Saturday 9 May.

Stay tuned for further detaiuls closer to the date!

If goretex gloves and mittens are your thing, check out the Ocean and Earth factory on the south coast next time you’re near Nowra. I have a pile of gloves I still haven’t used yet, they fit well and are tough. In fact I was wearing them when bitten by the baby mole I was rescuing, and he didn’t get through the kevlar stuff on the palms and fingers. Their mittens are also excellent. They weren’t $5, from memory that lot were $10 per pair.

I might check out the Mont thing. I certainly don’t need any outdoor gear, but it’s nice to see what’s there. I got a great pair of single camber patterned base touring skis at teh last Qbn sale, a staff member was flogging them off.

I bought a “pair” if OF gortex mitts…

Lucky no one on this site cares about spelling.

I bought a “pair” if gortex mitts there about eight or nine years ago.

There are different colours, but for $5 at then time, they have served my very well.

Winter/ski clothing, tents, backpacks, pretty much their entire range.
I love Mont gear, it’s first class.

what kind of gear do they usually offload at these sales?

Just got off the phone with a lovely bloke named Andrew.

The sale is on this weekend at 8 Ipswick St Fyshwick.

They are open Midday-8pm on Thursday, 9-6 Friday and Saturday and 10-3 Sunday.

I beleive it starts on Thursday and runs to Sunday. Details aren’t handy … anyone know more?

I thought they’d gone to NZ? I used to love their factory sale in Qbn, but they upped sticks and said they were off to NZ (with One Planet, that was a great sale too!).
