Ski swap event comes to Bend on Saturday

Published 5:00 am Wednesday, October 12, 2005

Grab those old Salomons and keep your eyes peeled for a new pair of ski bibs – the annual Skyliner’s Ski Swap will bring together seekers and sellers of new and used winter sports equipment from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday at the Mt. Bachelor bus barn, 115 SW Columbia Ave., Bend.

The Ski Swap is a 39-year-old tradition and fundraiser for the Mt. Bachelor Ski Education Foundation, which assists young athletes in Central Oregon with Alpine, cross-country, snowboard and cycling competition training. Admission is $3 per person, and parking is available at the Mt. Bachelor shuttle parking lot.

Items to sell at the swap can be checked in to the bus barn from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday. Selected items will be discounted after 4 p.m. Saturday. Unsold items must be picked up from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday.

A 25 percent commission from each sale benefits the foundation.
