Ski Swap & Open House, November 7

This annual event is our way of helping the Snowstar Ski Patrol raise much needed funding that supports thier tireless and sometimes unappreciated hard work of keeping us all safe on the slopes.
Bring in your used equipment to trade in, trade up or sell! This is the perfect chance to upgrade your gear for the upcoming season!
No equipment to sell? That's okay too! We also bring in local retailer's equipment, gear and apparel so there are great deals for everyone whether you're looking for new or used items.

Want a more than just a shopping trip?
It's also celebration to launch the winter season and get a sneak peek of the many improvements coming to Snowstar!
Meet our new General Manager, Dan (a.k.a. Deli Dan) McCanna whose motto is: Experience the CHANGE!
Bring your family and join us for free scenic chairlift rides and enjoy our beautiful view of the fall foliage. Don't forget to grab lunch at our outdoor BBQ and enjoy live music by AAA group!
Great giveaways and FREE samples...Sign-up for fabulous prizes!
Tour our facilities, meet our managers and the pros.  Ask questions but pardon our dust as we work hard to get ready for opening day offering you the very best in winter fun.
For ONE DAY ONLY, take advantage of our General Manager's Season Pass Special!

How The Swap Works

You can drop off your items the morning of the Ski Swap beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 9:00 a.m. (Drop off only, no shopping).
It's easy, just bring in your ski and snowboard equipment and fill out a simple form with the description and the price you want, and we'll sell it for you.  For each item submitted, there is $1 fee and once your item sells, Ski Patrol retains 15% of the price.  This is only way our top notched Snowstar Ski Patrol raises funds that support the many costs necessary to provide all of us with excellent medical and safety services.
