REGINA, Sask. — The Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) is conducting its annual SKI SWAP. It is the one day of the year where skiers can turn their old equipment into cash and get some great bargains on new and used ski and snowboard equipment.
Equipment registration is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6 from 6:45 to 9 p.m. The sale begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7 and runs to 3:30 p.m. at Campbell Collegiate, 102 Massey Road.
The public can consign their used equipment in the swap and the ski patrol will sell it for them for a commission. The SKI SWAP is a great way for skiers to "recycle" equipment they may have outgrown, organizers say.
The Canadian Ski Patrol says the event offers a wide selection of skis, boots, poles for downhill and cross-country skiers as well as snowboards and other skiing supplies and equipment.
The Canadian Ski Patrol is a nationally registered charity, comprised of trained volunteers, dedicated to promoting ski safety and providing first aid and rescue services to skiers. Each year the volunteer members of the CSP provide their services to skiers at areas all across Canada free of charge.
In Regina, volunteers come to the aid of skiers at Mission Ridge Ski Area near Fort Qu'Appelle and cross-country events in southern Saskatchewan. We are also involved in several non-skiing events around the community.
This is the major fund raising event for the zone. Proceeds from the swap stay in the community and go towards the purchase of first aid and rescue equipment as well as the safety and education programs of the Canadian Ski Patrol.
