With all of the fall sports in post-season, it's time to start thinking about nordic ski! There are lots of ski swaps throughout Minnesota and you can find a comprehensive list on SkinnySki. A couple of them are really close to home and you can hit them both on the same weekend if you like.
Saturday, November 14 is the Brainerd Nordic Ski Club's swap. The sale runs 9:00-noon, but a line starts forming earlier than that so it pays to show up early. That one has traditionally been held at Brainerd High School and that's what SkinnySki says too...however, I was talking to some BNSC members last night and they said it's going to be in the cafetorium at Forestview Middle School this year.
Sunday, November 15 is the St. Cloud Winter Ski/Sports Swap. This one is held at the Halenbeck Hall fieldhouse from 1:00-3:00. In addition to used equipment, Fitzharris and Revolution are usually there with discounted overstock and previous years merchandise.
If you have equipment that your kids have outgrown or don't use anymore, we usually have a ski swap among our LF ski families on the night of the parent meeting too, and there are usually lots of people interested in purchasing used equipment.
