The Halifax Nordic Ski Swap will be on Saturday, November 21,2020 from 11:00am - 1:00pm at The Trail Shop on Quinpool Rd. in Halifax.
This is a terrific opportunity to sell your old ski equipment, buy some gently used gear, and to help new skiers get started. We're anticipating a significant increase in interest in cross country skiing this winter - "the original winter social distancing sport" and many new skiers will be looking for equipment, so please consider selling some of your old gear to help a new skier get started. Ike Whitehead will be giving waxing demonstrations to help you get your skis ready for the season.
Please note that COVID-19 precautions will apply. All equipment sellers and buyers must wear a mask inside The Trail Shop and the number of people allowed in the store at one time will be limited.
The club will sell all equipment on consignment and take a 15% commission to help support the club’s activities.
Information for Sellers:
Halifax Nordic Ski Club members are welcome to sell your gently used cross country ski equipment - classic or skate - and x-c related equipment like wax benches, ski clothing, and rollerskis. We will not accept old wooden skis, 3-pin bindings or boots, bamboo poles, etc. or other types of equipment (e.g. alpine, snowboards, snowshoes, etc.).
