Here is a comprehensive update on the multiple brand partners we work tirelessly to bring to you. While every effort has been made to have our full list of pro deals updated at the time of writing this article, there are a few that are still in progress.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Please be sure to keep checking the pro deal page on the members\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to recognize that all of the brand offers your pro deal team secures for the CSP membership are a privilege, and to respect the terms and conditions each brand partner outlines for access. Unless otherwise stated, all pro deal offers are meant for CSP members to make purchases for personal use only.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a6192e;\"><b>New brand partners<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We are very excited to share with you the new brand partners we\u2019ve negotiated on your behalf:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Impact Canopy<\/li>\n<li>Keen<\/li>\n<li>Leki<\/li>\n<li>Liberty Skis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A complete explanation of these brand deals can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/members\/current-pro-deals\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a6192e;\"><b>Retired brand partners<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The following brands have not been renewed for the 2021-2022 winter season and will no longer be available to our membership:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Canada Outdoor Equipment<\/li>\n<li>Raccoon<\/li>\n<li>Baist Apparel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sometimes our brand partnerships come to a natural end, and sometimes the offering isn\u2019t competitive enough to meet our high standards. The CSP pro deal team works hard throughout the year to maintain and nurture brand relationships, and we are always seeking ways to make sure what we bring to you is useful, competitive and worthwhile.
