Nov 14-16 Snow Jam San Diego
Nov 29-30 Snow Jam Las Vegas
https://www.snowjamshow.com

This is more of an overstock type sale than a true swap. I have found some great deals there in the past - including ski boots for DS twice, DH's Elans, and my AC3's. Various ski jackets and pants have been purchased at good prices also.

If you buy the Snow Jam card ($15.00), you get in free and also get free lift tickets to Eagle Point and Brian Head(UT), and Snow Valley (CA).

Probably too late for this year, but I just learned about a giant 3-day ski swap in Duluth that's been going on for over 40 years. It's organized by the local alpine ski club and involves several ski shops.

42nd Annual Ski Swap
October 24-26, 2014
Spirit Mountain, Bearpaw Chalet
