We are looking for public skis, snowboards and boots Equipment should be no more than five (5) years old and subject to a safety inspection.

Here's how it's done...

Public Equipment Registration and Check-In
Public registration is a service for the general public. Bring your used equipment to the swap Publick Check-In (See main page for date & times).

Please note: Commercial quantities and retail vendors have a separate check-in time and procedure. Please contact us at 604 878-SKIS (7547) or contact the show manager.

Setting the Price
You decide on the price you want and complete a registration form. For each piece of equipment, you choose whether or not you want to purchase as Black Tag or a Red Tag. Red Tags increase the likelihood that your equipment will sell. The prices of equipment with red tags is automatically reduced 25% on Sunday. The price of equipment with Black tags stays the same all weekend. It's your decision which is right for you?

Registration Fee
There is a registration fee of $3.00 per item. We can only accept cash for the public check-in. We cannot accept cheques, credit card and Interac at this time.

We do the rest
You don't have do anything more. We'll do the rest. We will place your equipment on the swap floor for the public to view. If someone purchases it, we will handle the sales transaction for you. You will keep all but a 20% commission we retained on all sold items.

The sale of your goods is between the purchaser and the Canadian Ski Patrol. For your protection, the purchaser does not have any way to find out who you are nor do you have any way of finding out who bought your equipment.

Tag Check
During the swap, you can check if your items have sold or not on this website. Click on the Tag Check menu item in the left menu on this page. You will need your 7-digit vendor number printed under the bar code on your registration receipt.

You will see a list of all your equipment, the price, and the status (Sold/Not Sold).

After the show is over: Public Check-Out
Depending on whether or not all or your equipment has been sold at the end of the show, you may or may not need to some down to the show to pick up your cheque.

If ALL of your equipment was sold... stay home!
There is no need to come down to the Public Check-Out after the show. We will mail your cheque to you within three (3) business days.

If you absolutely insist, you can come down after the show closes and pick up your cheque. (See main page for date & time). All cheques will be post-dated for 3 business days after the show to allow Credit Card and Interac deposits to be made and validated.

If NOT ALL (or none) of your equipment was sold... come down!
You must pick up any unsold equipment at the Public Check-Out. Items not claimed by the end of the Check-Out will be considered as "donated to charity", and disposed of accordingly.

You may pick up your equipment one of two ways:

1. While the show is open: If you are a paid attendee of the show you may pick up your gear anytime while the show is open. Show your item registration receipt, your photo ID and your gear to swap security at the swap entrance / exit and take your gear with you.
2. After the show is closed (see main page for date & times): Come to the same registration area in which you registered and checked-in your equipment. Bring your registration receipt and personal Photo ID. You will be able to pickup your gear and your cheque.
