Ski swap turns 48

The Big White Ski Club will gather at New Life Church on Harvey Avenue for its 48th annual Ski and Board Swap on Saturday.

Those with items to sell can drop them off for consignment Friday, from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Cost is $2 per item.

Pre-owned equipment for kids and adults will be available, as well as an assortment of new clothing, equipment and accessories from numerous retailers.

“It's an unbelievable one-stop shopping opportunity for getting fully and affordably outfitted for the winter season. It is also a great way to clean out your garage or storage shed and sell your gently used equipment and clothing,” says board member Dave Willoughby.

“We also have a new online consignment system which allows sellers to register before arriving Friday to consign their goods.”

Funds raised support the Big White Ski Club, which provides world-class alpine ski training.

The club has taken pride in developing strong skiers and athletes, with a goal of providing high quality and affordable ski racing development programs for children and youth.

People who volunteer to help at the event can get first pick of the gear between 8 and 10 p.m. Friday night.

Cost of admission to the swap is $2 per person or $5 for a family.
