About The House
The House is an online specialty action sports and snow sports retailer offering snowboards, skis, ski and snowboard boots, bindings, outerwear, and accessories at significantly discounted prices through an off-price and closeout model. Based in Minnesota, the company has operated as a destination for action sports enthusiasts seeking deals on prior-season snow sports equipment from premium brands at prices well below ski shop retail.
Their catalog covers the complete snow sports equipment spectrum: snowboards in freestyle, freeride, and all-mountain profiles; skis for alpine, backcountry, and terrain park disciplines; boots and bindings from leading brands; ski and snowboard outerwear (jackets, pants, gloves, helmets); and action sports equipment including wakeboards, water skis, and related summer watersports gear. The House's off-price sourcing model means prior-season inventory from premium brands appears at meaningful discounts.
The House's strongest pricing appears during end-of-season clearance events (February–April) when prior-season ski and snowboard gear reaches its deepest discounts. Pre-season sales (September–October) offer a different savings window before peak winter demand drives pricing higher. Comparing against Evo, Backcountry, and direct brand websites for the same prior-season equipment ensures the market-best price.
Quick Savings Tips
- End-of-season clearance (February–April) delivers the deepest annual discounts on snowboards and ski equipment
- Last season's ski and snowboard equipment performs identically to current season at a fraction of the retail price
- Helmet and boot sizing varies by brand—verify brand-specific size charts before purchasing online
- Binding compatibility with boot type (Alpine vs. Telemark vs. Splitboard) must be verified before purchasing
- Compare against Evo and Backcountry for the same prior-season gear—The House often wins on closeout pricing
