Your pro deals team has been hard at work renewing arrangement with our partner brands.

Keep checking the pro deal page on the members website for the most up-to-date information. Each partner pro deal will include a note at the bottom of each write up indicating when it was updated last. We are updating the brands listed weekly.

Reminder about self-serve brands

Among the products listed on the pro deals page, a number have an asterisk beside their name. This represents a brand that has a self-serve process for accessing the pro deal. The brand administers its own pro deal program independent of the CSP. The CSP has no input or authority on how the programs are run by the provider.

As a courtesy only, the pro deals team is providing information on how to access the pro deal. Some brands with which we had traditional partnerships have shifted to this self-service model to better meet their needs.

The CSP cannot guarantee acceptance to these self-serve programs.

New partnership with IPA Collective

We are excited to announce a new partnership with IPA Collective. Further details on how to access brands through the IPA Collective will follow shortly.

This new partnership offers CSP members access to a number of additional industry-leading outdoor brands with the MSRP discounts you’ve come to love as a ski patroller!

Pro deal etiquette

All CSP members must respect the terms and conditions outlined by each brand we list on our website. Unless otherwise stated, all pro deal offers are meant for personal use only. Pro deals must not be shared with others outside of the CSP, including members’ family or friends.

In addition, when communicating with any of the pro deal brands listed on our members website, professionalism and respectfulness is required and expected, per our mutual respect policy.

All of the brand offers listed on the members website are a privilege of membership for CSP members. Abuse of any of these pro deals will not be tolerated.

Questions?

Do you think you have a good idea for a potential pro deal? Do you have contacts with brands that have suggested some sort of national partnership with the CSP? We are always open to exploring potential new brand partnerships. Feel free to send a note to CSP Pro Deal Team Chair Terry Mitchell at terry.mitchell@skipatrol.ca. We will explore if the brand and its potential offering meet our needs and standards.

If you have questions about specific brand deals (that are not self-serve), please contact the pro deal team member listed in each description on the members website.
