Black Diamond’s current headline option is the sale on past-season ski gear, which offers up to 40% off selected items. This is best for shoppers aiming to stock up on ski gear and apparel from older collections without needing a checkout code. If you’re browsing only for discounted ski gear and aren’t planning to sign up for promos, this sale is typically the strongest saver for mid to large purchases.
For different basket sizes, here is how the options apply in practice. Sale on past-season ski gear applies to eligible items only and cannot be used with any other offers. If your basket is entirely made up of past-season ski gear, the savings scale with the price of those items.
- Large basket example (buying a lot this season or multiple items, total $300): On a basket where all items are eligible past-season ski gear, you would see a price reduction of up to 40% on the eligible items. If the total price before discounts is $300 and the items qualify for the full 40% off, the final price would be $180 and the saving would be $120. In practice, the final price depends on the exact mix of eligible items.
- Medium basket example (about $120): If all items in the basket are eligible past-season ski gear, the largest possible outcome is 40% off on those items. On a $120 basket, assume the entire amount is eligible and gets 40% off: final price $72, saving $48. If only a portion of the basket is eligible for the past-season sale, the savings would be proportionally smaller depending on which items qualify.
- Small basket example (about $60): For a $60 basket consisting solely of eligible past-season items, the best case is 40% off on those items. Final price $36, saving $24.
If your basket includes items that aren’t part of the past-season sale, or you’re looking to stack more savings, the newsletter signup offer exists for first-time customers and can provide additional value. However, this option is not a substitute for the sale and cannot be combined with it. The sale cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers, so use it for eligible gear and consider the newsletter option only if you’re new to Black Diamond and your basket isn’t fully eligible for sale.
Closing guidance: When evaluating offers for the same basket, the key is to compare the total after applying the sale’s 40% discount on eligible items against any other single offer that could apply. Because the sale and the newsletter offer cannot be stacked, choose the option that yields the lower overall total for your eligible items. If your cart has a mix of eligible sale items and non eligible items, you’ll likely save most by focusing the sale discount on the eligible items and paying full price for the rest.
