At REI, we're ready to outfit downhill skiers with skiing equipment for a winter of snowy adventures! Choose from an array of top-quality downhill skis for men, women and kids. For groomed slopes or the backcountry, you'll find the perfect alpine ski style whether you're just learning your turns or conquering your next peak.

Combine your skis with downhill ski bindings–men's and women's alpine skis with pre-mounted bindings make your buying decisions even easier. Top that off with comfortable ski boots and ski poles, a ski helmet and goggles, and your gear is ready to carve up the mountain.

Make sure you're comfortable all day with warm, wicking long underwear and downhill ski clothing. We have a wide variety of women's and men's ski jackets and pants, plus ski gloves, hats, socks and accessories.

We've got the younger skiers covered too–check out our selection of kids' ski clothing, ski boots, helmets and goggles.

Now that you've got your alpine ski gear, you need a way to get it to and from the snow. Choose from a variety of ski and boot bags, roof racks, roof boxes and ski racks to get your gear there and back safely.

But we don't just sell snowsports gear–we help you put it to use. Check out our dozens of snowsports articles and videos online, skiing and snowshoeing classes through the REI Outdoor School and winter trips with REI Adventures. Exchange ideas and tips with the REI community, too!

At REI you'll find top-rated and top-selling downhill skiing gear, plus plenty of sale and clearance deals and bargains.
