Avalanche Center

We are having an auction this year, although smaller and lower key than in the past. Thus the late notice. This is an online event so you don't even need to leave the anonymity of your keyboard! (Yes, I read the posting instructions, ) Just aim your browser here: http://www.avalanche-center.org/auction/'>http://www.avalanche-center.org/auction/ We have various items left from the past or that are excess or discontinued from our own store. Major items (simultaneously on ebay) include: MSR Lightening Axis Snowshoes and Tails A Float 32 BCA pack A ski parka by Columbia We also have many small items that are not much even using the buy-it-now if you don't want the fun of bidding. Or bid on these if you do want the fun without spending much. There may be short term items, I may add a Tracker 2 tonight for 24 hours. Even when we announce these things traffic is slow so they are usually unheard of deals in the end. So check it out, have fun, and support avalanche information and education resources. Everything ends Thursday night 12/13, except maybe a few short term incentive items sooner. http://www.avalanche-center.org/auction/

Ending today: http://www.avalanche-center.org/auction/ Everyone who places a bid is entered into a drawing for a free Tracker DTS. (Substitutions for a discount on any other beacon may be possible.) One entry per day per person per item bid on. Each day there has also been an incentive. On Mar 12 if you place a bid you get a free skiing skeleton shirt, chums, and a 6 month membership. Just for bidding. We also added an Ortovox 3+ starting at 224 today. We'll add more beacons at low starting prices if there is enough activity. Also, we've had some things available for Avalanche Awareness Weekend which will end with the auction, see http://www.avalanche-center.org/Organization/events/awareness-weekend-20120308.php

Our Twelfth Annual Fundraising Auction is having a Part II since we have items to get rid of and need the fundraising benefits from them. To encourage bidding (before the last few hours) we have daily incentives - all bidders will be added to a drawing for a free Tracker DTS to be held after auction ends. Today you also get a free CSAC Nalgene bottle. Check to see what the offer is each day. This incentive is once per day so spread out bids rather than waiting for one last day if you want a better chance at the beacon. This is for any bid of any size on any item, it does not have to win. http://www.avalanche-center.org/auction/ Items include: A Custom Snowboard from Revolution Voile Switchback bindings The Always Popular Igloo Building Tool Forty Below Camp Booties Various Avalanche Safety Gear More ...

Bump This is ending this evening. Some items are extended by the anti-snipe feature but others will close as scheduled with few bids so there are great deals! Support avalanche safety and get some holiday deals at the same time!

Officially the auction is coming to an end on Thursday with everything closing in the evening, although some items may be reposted as we have done in the past. There are still many great deals, things with very low bids or no bids at all. Don't miss out!

Updated for 2011-2012: We still match just about anyones price on anything. Beacons, other gear, packages, whatever. Just email us with the price you somewhere else. (Email store@csac.org) We also have a coupon code for this forum that will automatically deduct 15% off any full retail price in your cart upon checking out. Sale items, shipping, and voluntary contributions are not included. During checkout there is a place for a code at the top of a page, enter cclimbers and click on update and you're set. It's ok to share the code but if you want to post something on another forum or to a club list or anything we'd prefer that you contact us so we can create a different code for that. Our intent is to honor this code all season but we do reserve the right to revoke it at any time for any reason, such as abuse. In the unlikely event we do that we'll try to update this topic. And don't forget out annual fundraising auction: http://www.avalanche-center.org/auction/ Happy climbing, skiing and boarding!

http://www.avalanche-center.org/auction/ Our annual fundraising auction is in progress. We are running a much shorter auction this year, almost everything will close Thursday night at 7 pacific time. Anything with no bids or not meeting reserve will be reposted until the same time Friday night. So check it out now, before it's too late! There is some avalanche gear, an Edelrid stove, Rock and Ice subscriptions, and lots more. If you'd like to hear about things like this sooner you can join our email list. We try to send out a newsletter every 10-14 days and include some educational information as well as news. http://www.avalanche-center.org/cgi-bin/csac-md.cgi?csac-updates
