Yet another end of summer gear sale from a top online retailer. Last post it was the feature on REI’s Labor Day Sale, and now it’s EMS’ turn. They’re also running a killer Labor Day sale. For those that aren’t familiar EMS stands for Eastern Mountain Sports, and they are similar to REI in that they have a lot of brick and mortar stores (around the Northeast - see their store locations on the map), but also they run a top notch ecommerce web site.

Here are the specifics on their latest sale:

From 8/29 through 9/11 EMS.com will be offering up to 70% off across a ton of categories and products. Below is a sampling of some of the sales that will be offered:

• 30% off of Daypacks
• 20% to 40% off of Trail Running Shoes
• 20% off all Tents
• 20% off Road Running Shoes
• 15% off all Thule Roof Mount Racks

New to stock 2008 Burton products are starting to make their rounds to respected web stores from coast to coast (and around the globe for that matter). As we mentioned back on August 2nd, Dogfunk.com (BTW all Backcountry Stores are having their semi annual sale right now - yep, up to 70% off retail through September 3rd) was the first retailer to stock 2008 Burton Snowboards and Gear. They seem to somehow beat all the others to the punch with Burton. But more merchants are starting to fill the warehouse with the products from the top snowboard brand on the planet.

So here’s a quick note to let ya’ll know that ProBoardShop is now ready to ship 08 Burton gear as well. Compare prices on Burton at OGE to see who has the best buy on the latest and greatest products. Snow season is quickly approaching. We’re through the hottest months of the summer so nowz the time to start thinking about the gear you need for the steep and deep conditions of winter. We had a hellish heat wave of a summer here in Utah so I think I can speak for everyone at OGE when I say bring on the POW.

This special donation is another facet of the magazine’s 30th Anniversary celebration in 2007.
