*** No Friday evening sale planned due to school event conflicts ***

The 2007 swap was a huge success! (Report)

Biggest & Best - Why pay more or settle for lower quality? This sale is huge, with over 10,000 Sq feet, over 5,000 inventory items and over $250,000 in sales. It is very well organized, now in it's 22nd year at Newport High and 31st year in the Bellevue school district. You will find a huge selection of equipment and accessories at incredibly low prices. It rivals the big commercial events in Seattle except that we have Lower Prices, Free Entry and Free Parking.  We also take major Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard & Amex), personal checks and of course cash.  Easy access from both I-405 (Coal Creek) & I-90 (150th).

Major savings on NEW gear (50-75% discount) - Local ski and snowboard stores offer gear at highly discounted prices, often 50-75% discount of the price you would pay in a store during the prime season. How do they do it? Every year, the industry over-manufactures by as much as 30%. This is not junk but rather high quality, new gear that shops have left over or that they buy at a discount from manufacturers for swaps and early season store sales.

Major savings on USED gear (60-90% discount) - This is also a great opportunity to help others out by selling your used equipment or buying someone else's. Sporting equipment and clothing value drops about 50% per year for the first three years ($600, $300, $150, $75). Many people come to the Newport swap year after year to trade-up their gear as their kids grow and their skiing or snowboarding skill improves. There is lots of very nice, high quality, high value, used gear for sale at amazingly low prices.

One Stop Shopping Convenience - We have new and used equipment for beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders so you can outfit the entire family. We have all the accessories you will need including jackets, pants, underwear, socks, helmets, goggles, poles, boots, bindings and much, much more. You can also sign up for Bellevue Ski & Snowboard School - Elementary, Middle or High School or ULLR Snowsports which serves Bellevue Ski School as well as adults and families with every type of snowsports -- racing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, Cross Country, Telemark and more.  Bonus - Crystal Mountain and Summit at Snoqualmie will have booths at the swap.

Ski Day Convenience - It is much more convenient for new skiers and boarders to have their own equipment than to stand in line each week to rent equipment (30-60 minutes wait prime season). Renting in town also requires time for pickup and drop-off. Buying used is very cost effective since used equipment is deeply discounted and generally costs less than renting for the season.
