Ski swaps are among skidom’s most cherished traditions. Every fall, our ski and snowboard gear is given the once-over, and if those old boards purchased 10 years ago desperately need to be sacrificed to the ski gods in a backyard bonfire, then you’ll need some new ones.

A final bit of debauchery to say goodbye to ski season at Snowbird on the 4th of July.
