Helly Hansen Ski Free Program: Purchase Jacket or Pants, and Ski for Free
Helly Hansen’s Ski Free program goes a step beyond the kinds of deals I typically feature in this column. But it. Is. Awesome. Here’s how it works.
Zip over to the deal website and pick out a jacket or pants from one of Helly Hansen’s latest collections. With your swag in the cart, you’ll then have the choice between snagging a free lift pass, a 2-for-1 deal, or other promotions at over 50 resorts across North America and Europe. Pretty sweet, right?
The deal is live right now and active until the end of February 2024, so you’ve got some time to agonize over your choice. This is a great chance to ski or ride a resort that’s new to you, so choose wisely!
This deal is featured as part of a partnership with Helly Hansen.
