Gear up for winter fun at ski swap

Whether you’re looking to hit the slopes in style this season or simply want to get rid of old ski gear cluttering up the garage, visit the 38th annual Ski and Snowboard Swap at California State University, Sacramento from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 2 in the University Union Ballroom.

The event, sponsored by the CSUS Ski & Snowboard Club in cooperation with various resorts and businesses, includes all types of new winter gear at discount prices plus used skis, snowboards and boots. Live entertainment, season-pass specials and lift-ticket giveaways will also be featured.

Individuals planning to sell their skis, snowboards or boots must register their merchandise between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 1 in the University Union Ballroom. Appraisers will be on hand to help assess the value of all used gear.

Admission to the Ski and Snowboard Swap is $7 general and $5 for students and seniors. Children 12 and under are free. A portion of the proceeds goes to support the CSUS Ski Club.
