Tramdock.com goes One Deal at a TimeRetail site serves up high-end ski gear at less than half the price

PARK CITY, Utah (Sept. 2, 2008) – Pig to bacon, rain to snow, Clark Kent to Superman – there’s no question that some transformations make this world a better place, period. Like Tramdock.com to Tramdock.com. Today, fresh out of the phone booth, Tramdock became the numero uno one-deal-at-a-time ski gear site on the planet.

Tramdock.com sells the same high-end skis and ski gear it always sold, but now it’s just one item at a time, at ridiculously marked-down prices (50-80% below retail). Every night at midnight (MST) the Tramdock crew drops one new, insanely discounted ski deal on the site. As soon as that deal sells out, a new item lists and goes until it’s gone.

The new Tramdock is the skier’s version of Backcountry.com’s three successful one-deal-at-a-time (ODAT) sites: SteepandCheap.com, WhiskeyMilitia.com and Chainlove.com. Like the rest of the fam, Tramdock highlights the sale item with a large product photo, detailed specs and the slashed price. Since each deal is only featured until it sells out, you can track the remaining availability and the sell-through rate in real time – so you always know how fast you need to act before the deal is done.

Vendors appreciate the ODAT model because the one-deal-at-a-time set-up moves their quality products without harming brand equity. The limited-time availability forces people to act, so the gear sells lightening fast. This keeps the product pipes clear and reduces retail backup and overstock.

“Ski gear’s always been a major draw on Steep and Cheap. How could we not pay attention to the high demand and fast sell-outs? We took a hint from our customers and vendors and overhauled the existing Tramdock retail site into ODAT.” said Andreas Fulks, Tramdock.com’s head buyer.  “So while Steep and Cheap will hone in even more on the hardcore trail runner, climber, alpinist, and backpacker, Tramdock is now the go-to site for the sickest deals on ski gear.”

To make sure you don’t miss anything and to get an instant ping every time another Tramdock steal is posted, you can sign up for a bevy of alerts – desktop, browser, IM bots and RSS. Plus, daily emails keep you tuned to what’s going down on the site.

Tramdock is not for beaters. Tramdock is for hard-core, 365-days-a-year ski addicts who know what they want, can recognize a screamin’ deal, and can grab it before it’s gone. With brands like 4frnt, Rossignol, Dynastar, Scott, Smith, Salomon, and Dakine in the lineup, you’re sure to score what you crave.

A compilation from the good guys with Topptur Films.  After our ten days in Norway, with snow that was less then stellar, we all look back on the skiing not being great, but we were able to ski in areas that no one ever had before because the bad snow was ironically very stable.  Sometimes there are great things that come from marginal situations, this one was epic.
