I encourage you to #Opt国产吃瓜黑料 on Black Friday to avoid the crowds who will be piling into stores all day long鈥攁nd because you have the day off to play.听But I also know this week is a great time to save money on outdoor gifts, so I鈥檝e gone through Amazon and tracked some of the deals that are听already posted. Note: Some of these deals change daily, but others will stick around or come back.
POC Fornix Ski Helmet (Starting at $50)
POC used aramid fibers to make this helmet light but strong. It鈥檚 a great all-around lid that can be used inbounds or in the backcountry.
RTIC 30-Ounce听Tumbler ($12)
This double-walled insulated stainless-steel mug is the perfect stocking stuffer. It keeps coffee hot in the morning and beer cold at night.
Thule 91725 Flat Top Ski Carrier ($120)
Winter finally arrived in the United States, so when you鈥檙e ready to head to the hill, use this system to carry up to six pairs of skis. The carriers fit on most factory bars and have oversized unlock buttons that are easy to use with gloves.
