PARK CITY, Utah (Feb. 15, 2005) – Gear freaks on the hunt for insane deals on limited-edition, brand name climbing, ski, snowboard, running and hiking gear have a new place to get their daily fix now that SteepandCheap.com is live (http://www.steepandcheap.com). Steepandcheap.com is a unique clearance store that provides steep discounts on high-quality close-out products from name brand, category-leading outdoor gear manufacturers.

The SteepandCheap.com e-commerce model makes each item available for 24 hours (beginning at 12 a.m. MST) or until the product is sold out. If the item hasn’t sold out the end of the 24 hour period, a new item with crazy pricing will immediately become available on the site. The super-sweet pricing means you have to act fast or kiss it goodbye. Remember, current trends dictate that first impressions are correct. Buy it. To support the deals and to encourage honest and objective feedback and discussions on the featured gear, Steepandcheap.com features daily forums for each piece of featured gear. The site also has an RSS feed that customers can subscribe to and automatically track the latest gear offering from their news feed readers.

Steepandcheap.com provides a new, healthy model for blowing through close-out products that might otherwise rot in the back of the warehouse. The aggressive pricing means that Steepandcheap.com will clear out scores of units in mere hours, not days or months. The limited window keeps interest high and the supply chain clean of late model products.

The first week of action at SteepandCheap.com featured Look P10 Lifter alpine bindings for $80.50, 55% off of the regular retail price of $178.95. Wednesday featured pairs of K2 Approach skis for $49.95, 85% off of the regular retail price of $330. Tuesday’s offering were Black Diamond Arc Angel Telemark/Alpine Touring Ski for $50.
