>>262941>>262966Yeah same reason I got my PSIA level one/two for snowboard/ski teaching. It cost me membership fees but I saved more then that cost with one purchase. 60% off this season top ski goggles =0 FUCK YEAH! On top of that I get discounts at most resorts. And that is only needed if my company's exchange program doesn't cover it for free anyways.

>>262948Thinks getting high end name brand gear with the best product warranties is not rad. Jelly maybe? I work 1-2 days a week at a local resort for snowboarding! And get to use my benefits to buy gear for my off season activity's also.
Most shit is 35-50% off some higher. I just got a benchmade knife 76% off retail. And before that my goggles that coast 175.00 retail were 75.00 before shipping. That's with 2 lenses.
My advice is if you can get a part time job or certification/member in the industry.. do it.
*one thing I will say is the products are very limited in some cases. The manufacture stock runs out well before retail dealers do.
