Winter Swap is a community driven, consignment sale event. You can buy, sell or both! Aligning with our mission of inspiring our community to pursue a lifetime of outdoor activity and environmental stewardship, we facilitate finding new homes for winter gear that would otherwise sit in a basement or garage or end up in a landfill.
What gear can I find at Skirack's Winter Swap?
You'll find great deals of new and used cross-country skis, downhill skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, poles, snowshoes, ski rack carriers, roller skis and Nordic skates.
Got winter gear to sell?
The seller prices the items in a consignment-like sale. Using an online intake form, choose between 70% in the form of a check or 100% in-store credit if your item(s) sell. Store credits are valid at Skirack and Patagonia Burlington.
Information is subject to change.
We are looking for winter gear that is clean, modern and well maintained in good and usable condition. Gear with broken pieces will not be accepted. Items must be priced at $10 or more. We will accept gear that needs to be tuned, but tuned gear is more likely to sell. We withhold the right to refuse any gear.
Increase the likelihood of your gear selling by ensuring your gear is clean with no strong smells and there are no mouse nests, cobwebs or dirt inside of boots.
Cross country skis, downhill skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, poles, snowshoes, roller skis, ski / snowboard car carriers / and Nordic skates.
Downhill skis that are older than 10 years (no straight skis), non-indemnified* alpine bindings, helmets, clothing, car base racks, boxes, fat bikes, traditional ice skates or accessories such as goggles, bags, gloves, skins etc.
* An alpine binding that manufacturers and insurers no longer support for service, usually 10+ years old). Shop cannot adjust them and they may not release for safety. For safety, these bindings cannot be accepted.
There will be a link at the top of this webpage by Oct 15.
We are happy to help with a final price once you bring your item into us, but the final decision is up to you. Please complete the online intake form first. A good rule of thumb is at least 50% off the original selling price, depending on the item, age and wear and tear. Please also note there may be similar items in the swap, so we recommend that you price competitively.
You will experience a quicker intake by completing the intake form ahead of time. We do not have a kiosk available in the store. Once your form has been submitted, you'll receive a digital copy via email for your records.
Please note: We have the right to refuse any item that does not meet our quality standards or criteria.
After you’ve completed the online intake form, you can bring your items to Skirack Oct 15 - 17 (10am - 6pm). On the intake form, you will select a drop-off date. Please note Fridays are the busiest days, so Wednesday or Thursday is highly recommended.
