Spokane Ski Swap sponsored by Mt Spokane Ski Patrol
Interstate Fairgrounds, Spokane WA
Sell, drop off Friday 10/24
Buy, Saturday and Sunday 10/25-26
All proceed benefit Mt. Spokane Ski Patrol

This is one of the largest swaps in the nations, going on since 1964. Interesting Trivia - MSSP trademarked the term "ski swap" way back when but they don't enforce infringement when other people use it. Too much hassle.

For all the PA Divas, just dropped my old skis off at my (semi) local shop. They are having a swap tomorrow... alot of nice clothing items at this one, the one last month had alot more in the ways of skis.

Great deal at the swap!

We stopped at the local ski swap today to see if the DH Metron's sold. The DH talked to the Dynastar Rep (who used to work in the ski shop). He told him I was going to be demoing a pair of Dynstar Exclusive Fluids and the rep said he had a pair there for sale. They are 07-08 (demo's) with the Nova AFC Fluid bindings. They were in my length, $225. I guess it was just meant to be! That's 2 new pair of Dynastar ski's for me to try this season.... hope I like 'em!

The waist measurement of these skis is 69 cm. Online I'm seeing them with a 68 cm. waist, except on European sites where they're listed with a 69 cm. waist. Anyone know if European retail versions are different than American?

I now have 3 pair of ski's in my quiver - I'm really becoming a SkiDiva!

PS - The Metron's didn't sell :(

Well we did well at our local swap. Took out 1 pair Elan Speedwave 10's, 2 helmets and a pair of Atomic RX race boots. Only came home with the boots. They will go on Kijiji this week for sale. I went out early on Saturday to register and ran into all kinds of people I know. Ended up being there 2 hours. Helped a client with his kids and a few others. The race kids no nothing about the stuff there unless it was their own. The people from NOW sports weren't much better. NOW sports is a wholesaler that picks up end of lines from last year and sell them off at swaps only. They start with the Toronto ski and snowboard show and work their way around the province. One of their favorite tricks is adult skis with junior bindings. Nobody looks until they go to adjust the binding for an adult boots and weight. So if your din is above 4 its new bindings at the correct setting.

So, I've got some more money to add to the pot for my new skis, whatever they will be!

Bring on the snow!
