Pop up snow sales by schools and private groups happen regularly leading up to the snow season. Over the years we've found some of these to be terrific to pick up some snow clothes or to purchase some equipment. The clothes and equipment can come in retail brand new, ex demo, last years stock, used, ex rental or second hand.
In terms of Snow Gear or Equipment each sale will vary but we've found these to have ski's, snowboards, bindings, poles, toboggans, helmets and various other. And regarding Snow Clothes we've found the general snow gear of snow pants, boots, socks, gloves, snow jackets, thermals and various others. But please make sure you checkout the latest details or flyers on each sale as they may have full details of snow stock available.
Pop Up Seasonal Snow Sales and Swaps
These are the swap meets and sales we've found over the journey that help with getting bits of gear and fitting out kids as they grow etc. With some of these sales it's also an opportunity to move on some of our gear that doesn't fit anymore. We hope it helps you.

Especially kids ones as they grow out of them. Also it's a good opporunity to stock up on quality socks and undergarments. We are lucky to have a store close by and prefer looking and browsing rather than buying online. |
