Pre-Season Ski & Board Sale
Willi's Pre-Season Sale is the sale Pittsburgh skiers and riders build their whole fall around, and it kicks off the winter season over Labor Day weekend. South Hills and North Hills each turn into a full clearance floor, stacked with marked-down skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, and outerwear before the first flake even falls. It runs first-come, first-served Saturday through Labor Day Monday, and the line at the door by opening time tells you how much this weekend means to regulars.
What to Expect at the Weekend Sale
Once the doors open Saturday morning, expect a crowd. Willi's stations a greeter at the entrance to manage the line and keep things moving, and if you're only shopping for clothing, you can often skip the wait and head straight in. Beyond that, here's what the weekend includes:
- First-come, first-served access at both locations
- Deep discounts on skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, outerwear, and accessories
- Expert staff on hand for gear selection, boot fitting, and sizing
- Exclusive pricing only available during the Pre-Season Sale
Willis Expert Staff Insight: Our boot fitters and tuners work the floor the whole weekend, not just the register. If you've been skiing in boots that never quite fit right, this is the weekend to bring them in. It's the same crew that fits boots for racers, in the same shop that's been doing it since 1970.
