Ski Swap Time Again?

Seems like just yesterday I worked my first swap at Alpine. It was 1985, and back then swaps were HUGE!. we would have 5,000 people roll through the store and parking lot looking for deals. the front yard would be filled with all kinds of skis and boots. we would bring out clearance racks of clothing and build up makeshift dressing rooms. we would put 3 registers outside and have the fagowees selling hot dogs and soda on the side lot. I was just 14, and it was a fun time to be in the ski industry.
Now, in our 38th year, I have seen a huge resurgence of the ski swap. People are coming back out and looking for great used gear. The glut of straight skis and step in snowboard binders is nearly behind us. There are some great deals to be had at these events. There are ways to go skiing and snowboarding with out having to drop big dollars.Pick up a couple season old pair of skis or snowboard and forgo the rental line.
Stop in this weekend and let our staff help outfit you in a great "new to you" set up. Or drop off your old equipment and let us sell it for you.
remember.. we have the right to refuse ANY equipment I deem unsafe. If you don't like it, then put it on craigslist. No straight skis, No old thermoplastic boots. Nothing but the good stuff.
So come in this weekend and peruse the goods in the yard. And we will also be having some sick deals in the store as well. See you this weekend.
