Skiers and snowboarders, adults and kids, come to the UNR Ski & Board Swap to score discount ski gear and clothing for the upcoming snow season. According to the swap website, we're talking serious discounts, like 30% to 70%. You'll find both new and used items, including alpine and nordic ski gear, snowboarding equipment, and a variety of apparel for the slopes. The money you save may be needed for those pricey lift tickets at Reno / Lake Tahoe ski resorts. Even if you're not a skier, you may find equipment to enhance a day at one of our nearby snow play areas.

The UNR Ski Swap is the weekend of November 13, 14, and 15. Swapping will be at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center Exhibit Hall, 1350 N. Wells Ave. in Reno. Parking is free. Hours are 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Friday admission is $12 for adults, $6 for children 6 to 12, and free for kids 5 and under. Saturday and Sunday admission is $7 for adults, $4 for children 6 to 12, and free for kids 5 and under. Get a $2 discount on Saturday and Sunday by bringing a non-perishable food item to donate to the Food Bank. If you really want to get first crack at stuff, $25 will get you in at 5 p.m. on Friday, an hour ahead of the rush. 20% of all sales go to support the UNR ski team. For more information, call (775) 825-6555.

If you've got gear to sell, get details on how this works on the UNR Ski & Board Swap Sell Your Stuff page or call Jessie Turner at (775) 825-6555.
