UNR Ski Swap This Weekend

Skiers and snowboarders, adults and kids, come to the 2010 UNR Ski Swap and get discount ski gear and clothing for the upcoming snow season. According to the ski 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 this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center Exhibit Hall, 1350 N. Wells Ave. in Reno. 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. All students are free on Sunday. For more information, call (775) 825-6555. If you just can't wait, Early Bird admission on Friday the 12th is $25 and starts at 5 p.m.
