Aldi's ski sale is back, with no sign of last year's supply chain issues
Aldi's ski sale is back, having been cancelled in 2022 due to reported supply chain issues, leaving bargain hunters furious.
It was in 2008 that Aldi launched its first ski sale with customers able to purchase ski gear for the same cost as hiring it at the ski fields.
With Australia's snow industry worth well over $2billion a year, it made sense for the discount retailer to enter the market in some way and the Aldi ski sale was an instant hit.
