How the Swap Works
Shopping?
If you are looking to purchase equipment, the swap opens at 10am. Admission to the event is FREE. There will be several volunteers and equipment representatives to help you find the right equipment for your needs. Typically available are Backcountry, touring, dog-walking, and racing skis, boots, poles and bindings as well as clothing and other apparel/footwear. Some products are used, many are new. You are sure to find what you are looking for, but arrive early for best selection.
Upon entry, each shopper receives 1 Raffle Ticket. We will be raffling off 2 Adult Season Passes this year! More raffle tickets can be bought from volunteers. You can get 10 tickets for $20.
All proceeds from the raffle and swap go to support the Tahoe Cross-Country Ski Education Association (TCCSEA)*.
*TCCSEA is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides children in the community with a unique opportunity to participate in a sport that will provide lifelong enjoyment and health benefits, and it can also provide motivated individuals with a foundation for world-class training/competition.
