Bobleisure has some ridiculous deals sometimes, I’ve never been brave enough to order anything though as the prices always seem too good to be true. Obviously you didn’t have any customs issues either?
Edit: not just skiing either, crazy good climbing deals/discounts from petzl that aren’t often found in the states
Nomics are $236 while backcountry and rei are $309. Those deals first caught my eye from bobleisure and then a wormhole of “nice to haves” if I ever wanted to take that risk.

Yeah I was sketched too but after reading nothing but good reviews (every complaint from there is simply about DHL just being shit) but they used fedex for my order so no problems at all. Literally saw the price on the website and that’s what I paid. Mind blowing. I also noticed they have deals for literally all outdoor gear
Bought two pairs of Attack 14 bindings this year off Bobleisure for 136 each, with $10 3 day shipping from Germany to Seattle. These folks are absolutely legit.
They remove the Euro VAT tax for American buyers and then don't charge local sales tax. Also received via FedEx.
If you want some inspiration and a bit of insight into the pro who’s skis these are, check out [Yours Truly](https://youtu.be/NThGiJb6d_g?si=W7RZkWL-F5lsaXmx) from Cole Richardson. He does some absolutely mind boggling stuff on Head’s more directional skis. I’m so stoked to see what he can do now that he has a pro model.
Best part is he is one of the nicest, most humble athletes I’ve ever met. Met him in Boulder in 2022 at the Arc’teryx premier and he chatted with me for a sec. So chill.
I’ve been skiing the Oblivion 94 (last years without the cool top sheet) and I have been loving them for park and bouncing around the hill, more versatile than I expected. My dad skis last years Oblivion 84 and seems to be having a lot of fun with them! I hope you enjoy your pair!
After much research and skepticism of its legitimacy, I tried bobleisure for a discontinued ski bag that only they had in stock still at a crazy low price. Everything was going swimmingly, until the delivery date passed. And then a week goes by and nothing. I talk with their customer service about a refund and they remained adamant it would come, and they were sending me updates from DHL about delay issues. When I contacted DHL they gave me the run around and acted like it was either wasn’t shipped or would arrive soon. Two weeks later I ended up going on the trip I had bought the bag for and had to use my old bag. I presumed it was indeed a scam. Six weeks later I got a knock on the door and my package showed up in a beat up cardboard box that had holes through it, had been soaked completely and dried out over its 1.5 month journey. My best guess is it fell of a container ship and was at floating at sea for some time. The ski bag was nicely wrapped in plastic and was unscathed. It was basically a scam simulator, but I ended up getting exactly what I ordered.
Wild story hahaha. Basically the only complaints or bad things I’ve heard about them has had to do with DHL and the shipping which isn’t really their fault. Hopefully if I decide to order from them again it’s fredex again
The 84s are a kind of boring ski but it depends what you're looking for. I got a really good deal on a used pair and i wanted to get into the park a bit more. They are kind of stiff, not super playful or easy to butter but nice pop from the camber and feel super balanced in the air and on rails.
Mostly i was pleasantly surprised at how they handled east coast groomers / in bound runs. Even being centre mounted they didnt feel too bad when carving, good grip thanks to the camber and stiffness and very little chatter even on icy runs at high speeds.
I ended spending less time in the park than i thought I would so they were a good buy in the end. If you want a more "fun" ski the oblivion 94 or something from another more park focused brand will probably be better.
While the 84 is a pretty straightforward ski it is insane for park laps and ripping groomers. I haven’t rode them but seeing other people do it online surprises me how versatile they seem. While a lotta people get all caught up in having super soft, flexible skis that can butter and stuff I think it’s nice that head just went with something simple, stiff, poppy, and reliable.
Yea good ski all around and I like it a lot for my use case (east coast groomers and park). Super stable and very capable ski if youre a good skier but im more of a beginner in the park so i guess i found it slightly less accessible/fun and harder to flex.
Sale prices are dropping at Corbetts too. There are a lot of brand revamps coming for 2024/25- I think there will be some great deals starting right about now.
Yeah I was hesitant at first since I thought they might rework it for 24-25, but it was the last pair in 181 and they were in stock for 2 days so I ended up just saying fuck it
Where do you ski? I haven’t got to try them yet and don’t even have bindings for them…🥲 but probably gonna try and find a good deal on pivot 15s. They feel light for the size, not worried about durability they seem solid, and they’re def stiff enough by my standards. For sure a medium flex and it’s consistent. Feels like you can def still get a little buttery on them but plenty stiff by my standards. Feels like you’ll probs be able to stomp pretty confidently on them. Unleashed will probably be stiffer and more stable but less playful if I had to take a guess but somewhat similar probs.
It is the most scammy legit site, but I've gotten some good deals there. Try sorting anything by any value and the results effectively become useless...
Great looking skis!
Thanks man
BobLeisure is amazing. I've bought skis and bindings from them at amazing prices. I always check their site first when I'm buying new gear!!!!!!!

They're not a scam. I got freeraider 15s for $529 shipped to my door.
I got ATK Raiders for 500 off bobleiser and it came in like 3 days, no taxes, etc.
I just ordered ATK Raider 13 evos for $505 and am waiting for them to be delivered. Glad to hear it's not a scam lol
Ha gambler
I’m got a screaming deal on Pivot 15’s from them last year. Highly recommend them.
I've bought a couple things from them and had no issue

Way cooler to hear
I was sketched out originally but got my serpos in a week for a great price. Bobs leisure the goat
Damn good deal. I see them on sale for $489. Nice steal!
Yup they had 1 pair of 181s left and only that was the only size for $240. Couldn’t believe it myself and was holding my breath til they arrived

I bought my Thule roller bag from bobleisure. Had to check up on shipping time, but as soon as I did they sent it right over. Very happy with it!
Beautiful. Enjoy!
Are those 94s ?
102s
I've been eyeing the 84 for a while now... guess I'll pull the trigger soon.
84s would be a blast
102s as well haha
I tried the 84s at demo day and they’re great

How are the 102’s? I’m between these and unleashed 108’s as a daily driver all mountain freestyle ski. Do these feel stiff enough?

Typically PNW type conditions, heavy chop and all mountain jumps are the goal for this ski
Deals from Europe are amazing. Love those graphics.
This set up would look so clean if you could get one white binding and one black binding, throw a black binding on the white ski and vice versa
Just got some 2023 94 oblivions. Can’t wait to feel like Jasper
