There will be plenty of opportunity to stop at a store between RTO and the lake. Look up "play it again sports" in reno. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444169 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 01:27:05 +0000 AprilFool 2444169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ship to where ever you are staying, I do it all the time when travelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444168 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 01:21:41 +0000 tiramisu 2444168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: Yup, I live in Hawaii too! Ooh I just remembered that a few years ago my husband bought a snow jacket for under $40 at the Ross next to Sports Authority. I didn't check out the women's section since I borrowed a friends outerwear but I hope they'd have similar items. And I'm sure it would be cheaper than Sports Authority and definitely way cheaper than Patagonia. It's so hard finding cold weather clothes out here and I hate spending alot too since it hardly gets used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444132 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:58:41 +0000 peaches1038 2444132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you could ship the jackets to the hotel instead? That might help with the shipping costs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444117 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:43:04 +0000 BabyMats 2444117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: @HabesBabe: @MrsSRS: I will check.</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: so far the consignment stores I see are in North Lake tahoe. We will be in south. But will keep looking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444112 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:39:25 +0000 jlm22 2444112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also recommend Sierra trading post online. Super discounted stuff. Sign up for their emails and you will get more coupons and free (or 99 cent) shipping!</p> <p>Do you have Amazon prime? Type in winter jacket and look at the reviews of inexpensive coats? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444111 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:38:28 +0000 BabyMats 2444111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gilmoregirl: @kiddosc: will check those out thanks!</p> <p>@Greentea: no I don't.

No real plans to go shop. Especially with the 3 kiddos. Im looking at columbia. I think I may have found something affordable I can layer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444102 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:32:55 +0000 BabyMats 2444102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tiramisu: i will check sports authority!hopefully they do! I have never heard of patagonia but I just looked and its kind of expensive. I dont want to invest in something when Im not sure if we will be doing snow trips. Are you in HI? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444097 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:29:33 +0000 BabyMats 2444097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: thanks Ill check the website. Unfortunately all my friends are much thinner than me at the moment. So I wouldnt fit in their stuff.<br /> @Foodnerd81: yeah short spurts but going to try 1 day going up. So I figured I could get something cheap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2444081 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:11:16 +0000 BabyMats 2444081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww..man..sorry guys i was moving and just finished cleaninhlg the house..I need to respond </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443964 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:27:49 +0000 MrsSRS 2443964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about zappos? There are snow pants there for about 120, although no great coat deals I can find easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443960 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:24:38 +0000 HabesBabe 2443960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found some really nice Columbia snow jackets on Amazon, with Prime shipping. I don't know if they do Prime delivery to Hawaii, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443952 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 20:17:55 +0000 brady80 2443952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could look on thredup, it's online consignment and they may have winter gear, they do for kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443848 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 18:18:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2443848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm assuming you'll drive into Lake Tahoe from an airport? If stop at a consignment/thrift shop along the way (maybe more than 1). Ours always have tons of coats and pants. Maybe not the most stylish, but useful in a pinch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443841 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 18:09:39 +0000 Eko 2443841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three recommendations include:<br /> 1. Borrowing<br /> 2. Look at Sierra Trading Post online. It's discounted winter gear...some stuff is stupid cheap.<br /> 3. But from llbean and then return it once you're done since they do 100% refund policy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443792 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 16:45:08 +0000 Greentea 2443792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: Do you already have a gore tex shell (a raincoat)? I did when I lived Big Island, but I worked outside at night so I got rained on a lot. That could do the trick with layers. What about places like 6pm and Sierra Trading Post? What about checking tradesy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443777 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 16:25:28 +0000 kiddosc 2443777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: I live in Wisconsin and have good luck with the brand zeroxposur. Plenty warm, dry, and won't break the bank. A lot of winter stuff is on clearance right now too. This link is from kohl's, but lots of stores carry the brand. <a href="http://mobile.kohls.com/catalog/womens-zeroxposur-outerwear-clothing.jsp?CN=4294874721+4294719371+4294719810&#038;S=0&#038;WS=1&#038;limit=60&#038;N=4294874721+4294719371+4294719810+4294720878" rel="nofollow">http://mobile.kohls.com/catalog/womens-zeroxposur-outerwear-clothing.jsp?CN=4294874721+4294719371+4294719810&#038;S=0&#038;WS=1&#038;limit=60&#038;N=4294874721+4294719371+4294719810+4294720878</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443759 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 16:04:42 +0000 gilmoregirl 2443759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: it sounds possible to me. Maybe they won't be the highest quality but that seems like no big deal for just a week. I'd look online somewhere like kohls. A lot of winter stuff is on clearance now. Not sure of what exactly you need but I found this one:<br /> <a href="http://m.kohls.com/product/prd-2103918/columbia-gotcha-groovin-hooded-snowboard-jacket-womens.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://m.kohls.com/product/prd-2103918/columbia-gotcha-groovin-hooded-snowboard-jacket-womens.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443755 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:58:24 +0000 Finfan 2443755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you wait until you get to the continental US? That's probably what I would do given the tight time frame and shipping expense to HI. </p> <p>Columbia is basically as reasonable a price I have found especially at their outlet. Maybe try a store like REI or Dunham's? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443748 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:51:56 +0000 tiramisu 2443748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if the Sports Authority or Patagonia in town might have some stuff? I think Patagonia might be kind of pricey though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443745 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:49:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2443745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: are you going to be out in the snow for hours (skiing, etc) or just walking from place to place and playing in the snow for short periods? I think you could get away with some cheap stuff if it's short spurts, but if you will be out all day skiing it could ruin your trip if you are cold and wet the whole time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443739 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:42:01 +0000 Littlebit7 2443739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I would totally borrow. Honestly it will be tough to get a jacket and pants for under $100. Do you have a rain shell that would allow for layering under? If anyone has a down jacket/sweater you could borrow they keep you SUPER warm and you could wear that under the rain shell. A really warm base layer is crucial. The snow pants will be tough to find as well; I'd borrow if you can.<br /> You could always chance the sale rack at a ski shop. There might even be rental places that would rent you a ski bib and pants. That might be worth a call. My brother in law had to rent a ski jacket and pants once when the airline lost his luggage.</p> <p>oh! one more site to check is Campmor. They offer past seasons gear at good prices. Don't know how shipping would work though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443737 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:38:30 +0000 BabyMats 2443737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: I was thinking about asking friends on the mainland to buy stuff and send it to me . I am bigger than all of my friends right now so unfortunately borrowing is out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443734 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:35:28 +0000 MoonMoon 2443734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: that's tough! Any chance a friend has something you could borrow, since you only need it for the trip? Or someone on the mainland that could buy something for you? I'm in upstate NY and our stores still have winter gear out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443731 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:33:02 +0000 BabyMats 2443731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: I live in Hawaii they dont have that stuff here. I was thinking about being too late with the season change in the stores. We just got a Northface but its expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443725 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:27:42 +0000 MoonMoon 2443725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about looking in a place like Marshall's, TJ Maxx, etc? They tend to have good deals on things like jackets, though I'm not sure if it's too late where you live? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-question-for-those-that-live-in-the-snow#post-2443722 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 15:25:22 +0000 BabyMats 2443722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im going to Lake Tahoe for a week next month and I havent been in snow in over 15 years. And havent experienced cold weather under 50°F in years. (My husband has never seen snow in person)I'm looking for an affordable jacket that will do the trick of keeping me warm and pants that aren't going to break the bank. I found stuff from Columbia sportswear but shipping is ridiculous, so thats out. Im looking at Target but havent gotten any further. Am I crazy for thinking. I can find a jacket thats waterproof for snow for under $100? Help! I am not good at deal finding for myself.<br /> Thanks in advance. </p>
