Remember, SNIAGRAB, that blowout sale held every year at Gart Sports (now Sports Authority), that was all about ski and snowboard equipment? I actually once found a pair of skis there for $20. Sure, they weren’t great, but for new gear, you can’t go wrong. Well, I remembered that there hadn’t been a SNIAGRAB last year here in Spokane, so I did some research. Apparently SNIAGRAB is going on everywhere EXCEPT Spokane, at least in the western US. My question: Why? Spokane/Inland Northwest has some of the best skiing in the west at Schweitzer and Silver Mountain, and there are other resorts with great skiing, like 49 Degrees North. SNIAGRAB ends Labor Day for those willing to drive to Seattle or Boise.
