My 14 y/o is doing another year with the ski club, so we thought it would make more sense to buy him gear as opposed to renting each time. Is there a preferred place online to buy? TIA
When I was researching this, Powder 7 came up as the best place. I have not bought from them, but I have friends who are active skiers - mom is on ski patrol for nearby mountain- who have. Their used skis are the main draw and are supposedly awesome deals. Powder7 - ( New Window )
timing might be off, but most mountains near me in New England have "swaps" (though usually in the spring) where people bring in their used or lightly used equipment and sell it to others.
Great deals. Some of the stuff is practically brand new.
My older kids both do ski club and the first year that's where we got their stuff.
I wouldn't get a helmet or goggles that way, but skis, bindings, poles and possibly even boots I would when they're young.
they grow out of stuff so fast (depending on age) I hate buying new for kids for stuff like that.

Bought some used skis from them last year, decent price and they were in good shape.
