Need an idea for how to spend your weekend in Jackson Hole. It’s the off-season and while the population is seriously depleted this time of year, it’s actually one of the best times to stick around. Here are three reasons why:

Ski Swap! The Jackson Hole Ski Club’s annual Ski Swap is Saturday morning:

Greetings Gearheads! Alas, the time has come again to feed the addiction and accumulate more crap at the Jackson Hole Ski Club’s annual Ski Swap.

Jacksonite’s typically kick-off the off-season with this much anticipated event  arming  themselves with any and everything they could possibly play with in  the long winter. We’re talking skis: fat and carvers, cross country and skate. Snowboards of all varieties. Poles, backpacks, skins, avalanche gear, hats, gloves, you name it. For the whole other beast in you, now is the time to pick up all things hockey with screaming deals on skates, helmets and pads.

For the masses that take this event seriously, it means war. Move swiftly and don’t be swayed by someone trying to talk you out of purchasing that dirt cheap pair of skis, ‘cus the second you turn you back, they’ll be snatched up.

The story of the swapis rather circular. As any attendee will see, ambitious consumers go hog wild picking up everything their alpine-sport-oriented heart desires.  As the story goes, said gearhead loads up on all forms of skis and excessive equipment with every intention of fully “getting after it,” but, in fact, never does and then-what do you know-the unused gear miraculously appears at the swap the next year for yet another go-around. Never underestimate the shelf life of these products.

All jest aside, the Ski Swap is a highly affordable opportunity to score some quality gear and it is for a good cause. Vendors include your average bro to the best ski shops in Jackson Hole. Remember: the early bird gets the worm!
