Ski swaps are a great way to buy all the ski and snowboard gear you need for the winter season while saving money at the same time. There are usually thousands of new and used skis, boots and poles to choose from, and money earned at most swaps go to benefit a charity organization.
A few ski swaps have already taken place, such as a big one at Snowbird, but if you missed it, there are still a few coming up where you can go and find the perfect pair of skis at a huge discount. Ski swaps are also mountain town tradition where skiers and snowboarders come together to sell gear, visit, and get excited for the upcoming season. a Below is a list of the remaining ski swaps with times, dates and locations.
