By Kerri Loudoun, Pro deals team manager (prodeals@skipatrol.ca)
Our pro deals team is in full swing, working on renewing existing pro deals and negotiating new brands to offer our members.
We will continue to provide updates as the team works their magic via the 5/5 monthly CSP newsletter and the pro deals section of the members’ website.
For now, we can provide updates on the following brands:
Helly Hansen (for non-uniform product needs)
Helly Hansen has shifted their offering to our members by expanding the products available for pro deal discounts. While still offering you 50 per cent off regular retail pricing at www.hellyhansen.com, they are now including www.hhworkwear.com.
You can find application instructions on the pro deals section of the member’s website.
K2
K2 has changed how our CSP members access their pro deal for 2023. Members must contact their respective K2 region rep (list available on the pro deals section of the members’ website) to receive their discount code. Please provide proof of current* CSP membership (a screenshot of the digital CSP member card from your phone/computer).
This is a direct-to-pro membership program for qualified CSP members. Membership is not guaranteed and can be revoked at any time. Access to discounted products (35 per cent off MSRP) is only through this program and is limited to approved member use.
Head
Head also has changed how CSP members purchase products, moving away from the order forms. Patrollers must now order online on the pro website with a discount code.
To acquire your discount code from Head, review the instructions noted on the pro deals section of the member’s website.
As for new products and product highlights:
- JOY series for women has been completely re-designed, featuring new sidecuts, the new Protector SLR binding and a new better balance plate.
- The Supershape series is now only available with the Protector PR binding.
- The Race Performance series features new longer radius geometry to give a stable, predictable feel, especially in the e-Speed pro, and this category is also seeing the launch of our new race colour, Speed Blue.
Prior Snow
We are currently negotiating an exciting expansion with Prior Snow for them to become a national partner with the CSP. In the meantime, Prior is still offering a 30 per cent discount on products listed on their website.
The info regarding Prior Snow’s catalogue and how to access their discount is also available on the pro deals page of the member’s website under “Boots, Skis and Boards.”
*Important info to access current pro deals
Please check that your Yeti member profile is up to date and set as current. If your profile shows “expired,” follow up with your zone administrator to correct it before applying for any pro deals requiring proof of current membership.
