Labor Day and September is here which means Jackson Hole skiers have either secured their pass or are playing the waiting game to see what surfaces for the shred or perhaps simply planning to just hit ‘the pass’ instead. Either way, around these here parts it’s usually a good idea to continue laying out the cash in anticipation of the upcoming ski season in the form of stocking up at the various Labor Day sales. Jackson Hole Sports Labor Day Tent Sale starts this weekend. Check out their tent located next the Tram Clock Tower in Teton Village and get set up with discounts between 50%-70% off on Winter 12/13 clothing and gear.   Come down to the tent from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Friday, August 30th through Monday, September 2nd and get the goods. Fat skis, backpacks, poles, goggles, jackets, pants, boots, hats, helmets, and at the very least- you’ll get excited as the Labor Day Sales around the valley are the surest sign that winter is on it’s way. Next sign is the first snowfall, which is sure to start gracing the Tetons in the coming weeks. Check Pepi’s, Wildernest, Teton Village Sports and the Treehouse in the Village for the best goods too.
