Coles General Manager for Health and Home Deb Galle said the supermarket giant is excited to be launching its first-ever ski sale.

‘Coles Best Buys is all about making everyday homewares and tech more affordable for our customers – and now we’re taking it to the slopes, giving customers amazing value on ski apparel, accessories and equipment for the first time ever,’ Deb said.

‘We know many households are experiencing budget pressures at this time and heading to the snow can be very expensive especially for families but with our range of Decathlon apparel and accessories, adults can get dressed from head to toe for just $250 per person and kids for around $170 each – this includes a complete set of thermals, ski jacket and pants, ski gloves, goggles and helmet. 

‘Functionality and warmth are top priorities for a snow trip, so it was important for us to offer an affordable and accessible range from a trusted and well-known brand like Decathlon.’
