Friday, Saturday & Sunday, Nov. 18-20—LUDLOW—The annual Okemo Ski and Snowboard Swap to benefit Okemo Mountain School is scheduled Nov. 18-20. The swap is the place to gear up for winter with new and used ski and snowboard equipment and clothing at great prices. Skiers and snowboarders will find everything they need: skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, helmets, goggles, outerwear, and more. All proceeds from the swap benefit the Okemo Mountain School in Ludlow. The swap takes place in the Clock Tower Base Lodge at Okemo Mountain Resort Friday, Nov. 18, 4-7 p.m. (3-4 p.m. is the early-buy hour; $5 admission or free for Okemo employees); Saturday, Nov. 19, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 20, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
Skiers and riders interested in selling used gear (please no skis, boots, or bindings older than 7 years) can sell it on consignment at the swap. The seller will receive 75 percent of the selling price and 25 percent will go to Okemo Mountain School. Equipment donations are also accepted and are tax-deductible. All gear must be dropped off during specific hours and not brought to the swap during sale hours. Equipment drop-off is at the Sitting Bull Restaurant (use slope-side entrance near first aid) in Okemo’s Clock Tower base lodge Saturday, Nov. 12, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 13, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; Wednesday, Nov. 16, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
