The date is set for a popular event connected to the local ski season.

The Vernon Ski Club will host its 2023 Ski Swap on Saturday Oct. 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Centre.

The consignment drop-off for people wanting to sell items will be on Friday, Oct. 13 from 3:30 to 7 p.m.

“We accept alpine and cross country skis, snowboards, boots and poles. We DO NOT accept equipment that has been poorly maintained or is a potential safety hazard. Helmets and older model straight (alpine) skis are not accepted,” the club stated.

A $2 consignment ticket must be purchased for each item people want to sell and only cash can be used to buy the consignment tickets.

The club collects a 20 per cent commission on any items that sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Interac and cash are accepted as payment.

Pay-out runs from 12:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14. People can check back at the auditorium any time after 12:30 to see if their equipment has sold.

“If your item has sold, we will pay-out the value of the equipment less the 20 per cent commission,” the club explained.
