Our seasonal update schedule
Gear changes fast. Here's exactly when we refresh every recommendation on the site.
Spring (Mar–May)
End-of-season deals roundup
We refresh the Deals page as resorts close and retailers clear inventory — the best prices of the year on this season's gear.
Summer (Jun–Aug)
Full catalog audit
Every recommended product is re-checked for availability and pricing, broken links are fixed, and discontinued models are swapped out.
Early Fall (Sep–Oct)
New-season lineup update
Next season's skis, boots, and boards are added to the quiz and finders as they hit shelves, and buying guides are rewritten for the new lineup.
Winter (Nov–Feb)
Weekly deal & stock checks
Deals and accessories picks are checked weekly through peak season, and quiz recommendations stay synced with what's actually in stock.
