Resale

This year's resale will be held in Varsity Hall, Union South, on Saturday, December 7th, 2024 from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday, December 8th, 2024 from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.! You can pay with credit (Discover, Visa, Mastercard), debit, wiscard, or cash.

The Hoofers Ski and Snowboard Resale is Wisconsin’s largest ski swap! Come enjoy great deals on winter gear (for all ages!) such as downhill and cross-country skis, snowboards, apparel, and more at significantly discounted prices. Equipment is supplied by both local and national vendors, and we also collect new and slightly used gear from the community. This means that you can bring your own gently used gear to resell. Make the upcoming winter months active and full of fun with new or new-to-you equipment!

Proceeds from the sale help fund Hoofers Nordic, Alpine, and Freestyle teams, as well as general Hoofers trips. The Resale also provides funding for our annual free ski trips with local non-profit groups such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters. So mark your calendars - we're looking forward to helping you find your new winter gear!

Hoofers Alpine and Nordic Teams will also be waxing and sharpening skis and snowboards at the Resale. Alpine prices will be $20 for wax, $30 for tuning per snowboard or pair of skis, or $40 for both. Nordic waxing will be $15. The money goes directly to the teams, so this is a great opportunity to get your gear tuned and ready for the season!

Please note that the Alpine and Nordic Teams will NOT be mounting or adjusting bindings. Hoofers SnS cannot make exceptions to this rule.

To sell your equipment, all you have to do is drop off your equipment with us and let our on-site salespeople sell it for you over the weekend! Hoofers Ski and Snowboard Club will take a portion of the sale. If you are unsure of how to price your items, volunteers at the public drop off can offer suggestions. You will be able to track the sale of your items online. You are responsible for double checking all the details of items entered into the system (price, size, description, etc.). More information will be provided when you drop off your gear.

A maximum of 10 items are accepted per person. Unfortunately, we cannot accept:

• Used helmets
• Straight alpine skis
• Any skis with non-indemnified bindings
• Non-rigid snowboards
• Snowboards with step in bindings
• Cross-country skis with 3-pin or 75mm bindings
• Cross-country boots that fit the 3-pin binding
• Alpine boots that are more than 18 years old and no longer meet current standards for sole shape and slipperiness

All apparel must be cleaned.

We withhold the right to not accept any items.

Our Public Check-In Verification Agreement form can be found here.

A live-updated list of PCI items sold at the event can be found here.

Checks for sold PCI items should arrive by the end of January.

If your items do not sell, you must pick them up after the sale. If you do not, they become the property of the Hoofers Ski and Snowboard Club. All transactions are final. Refunds and exchanges will not be given. Hoofers cannot make exceptions to this rule.

Lot 17 is a large parking structure in the Engineering Campus right across from the street from Union South and is the best option for close parking. For a map of the location, as well as more information, click here!

Do you accept and sell kids ski gear?

Yes! We have a large selection of discounted kids ski gear every year, and used kids ski gear typically sells fast.

When should I get to the sale if I want the best gear?

The doors to Union South open and the line start to form at 7am on Saturday, and doors to Varsity Hall open at 8. The line typically grows quickly and wraps around the entire union, so if you’d like to make sure you get first dibs on gear, come early. That being said, there will still be a massive selection left at the end of the weekend, so you will still find great deals if you don’t get there first thing in the morning!

Can I bring my coat and purse into the sale?

No, we do not allow coats or bags into Varsity Hall. We have a coat check on the second floor where you can check your jackets and bags before entering the sale (the line will go right past it). If you do not want to check your coat or bag, please leave it in the car or with someone outside Varsity Hall. Please do not forget to grab your wallet out of your coat or bag before you check it.

How do I go about selling my gear?

Simply bring your items to the Union on the designated dates. We will have contracts there for you to fill out, and our volunteers will help you input your contact information and items into our system. We can always help you price your items as well if you are unsure how much to sell them for.

How do I get my money from my sold items?

You will get a check in the mail for 70% of the listed price of your items that sold (30% donation to Hoofer SNS). Please allow time for this to arrive, and contact us if you did not receive your check by February 1st, 2025.

Do I have to wait in the line for Varsity Hall if I am only getting a waxing/tuning?

No. If you are only purchasing waxing or turning on equipment you already own, please proceed directly to the checkout area outside Varsity Hall, and tell a volunteer you need to purchase a wax/tune. The waxing/tuning is held downstairs by Harvest Grain.

If you have any other questions, please email the Resale Director, Claire Steidinger, at resale@hoofersns.org!
