Helly Hansen Ski Free Program: Purchase Jacket or Pants, and Ski for Free

Helly Hansen’s Ski Free program goes a step beyond the kinds of deals I typically feature in this column. But it. Is. Awesome. Here’s how it works.

Zip over to the deal website and pick out a jacket or pants from one of Helly Hansen’s latest collections. With your swag in the cart, you’ll then have the choice between snagging a free lift pass, a 2-for-1 deal, or other promotions at over 50 resorts across North America and Europe. Pretty sweet, right?

The deal is live right now and active until the end of February 2024, so you’ve got some time to agonize over your choice. This is a great chance to ski or ride a resort that’s new to you, so choose wisely!

This deal is featured as part of a partnership with Helly Hansen.

QALO Silicon Rings: 20% Off Sitewide

If you aren’t already on the silicon ring train, what are you waiting for? The things are perfect for outdoor adventurers because they don’t pinch your fingers, they are cheap, and they come in a wide range of styles and colors.

QALO’s choices are prodigious and 20% off sitewide at the moment. After losing no fewer than three metal rings in three years of marriage, I picked up this Strata Arrow model on a whim at an outfitter and managed to keep it safe for 7 years before it wore out. The brand offers everything from delicate, feminine options to thick, engravable rings in a variety of finishes and colors.

If you can train it or imagine it, Ten Thousand has a short for it. And with this 50% off sale (use code TTHOLIDAY at checkout), many of your options are under $40. That same code also gets you 20% off select accessories and other apparel.

Juiced Bikes came out swinging with the recent release of the Scrambler X2, a beefy 1,000W-motor e-bike with a 55+ mile range and retro, moped-inspired styling.

The Scrambler X2 offers seven levels of pedal assist, a twist throttle, hydraulic disc brakes, and a unique “bench style” saddle designed to accommodate you at various distances from the handlebars or you and a passenger. You can get $400 off the X2 right now with Juiced’s holiday sale. The sale goes all the way up to $700 on select models, and Juiced has a lot to choose from.

Did you buy some pants for your Helly Hansen ski trip? You’ll need a top to go with them. There’s plenty on display at REI Co-op’s Holiday Warm Up Sale, which offers up to 50% off select products. Consider REI Co-op’s Powderbound Insulated Jacket.
