Ski swap gets new location

The annual Skyliners Ski Swap will be held Saturday, Oct. 17, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the former Fuqua Homes factory, located at 20495 Murray Road, Bend. The location is across the parkway from the Sun Mountain Fun Center.

This year, the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation will not charge admission to enter the Ski Swap. However, MBSEF will accept monetary donations for its athlete scholarship program.

Retailers outfit the swap with new, below wholesale pricing on skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, poles, goggles, hats, jackets, etc. Also, the public is invited to sell its used items in good condition.

Those who have items to sell can come to the Murray Road location on Thursday, Oct. 15 from noon to 6 p.m. or Friday, Oct. 16, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Volunteers will help through the check-in process and help to price items.

MBSEF will take a 25 percent commission on all sales. All proceeds from the Skyliners Ski Swap benefit the junior programs of MBSEF.
