getting excited about winter?
Canadian Ski Patrol Ski Swap
Gear up for Less
The Canadian Ski Patrol will once again hold their largest ski and snowboard swap at the 2025 show! Held annually in conjunction with the Toronto Ski+Snowboard Show, the swap will feature over 2,000 brand new non-current & pre-owned skis, boards, boots & accessories available for purchase. It’s the biggest DEAL of the year and an excellent opportunity to upgrade your old equipment and save money. Every purchase made at the Ski & Board Swap helps support Canadian Ski Patrol training programs and volunteer first aid services at resorts across the country.
Proceeds from the Canadian Ski Patrol’s Ski & Board Swaps held in various locations across the country are used to further the efforts of the Canadian Ski Patrol in funding and upgrading their many First Aid, Safety, and Rescue programs. These skills are used daily by their 5,000+ members in assisting the skiing and snowboarding public at resorts across the country.
For more information on the Canadian Ski Patrol and its efforts, visit our volunteers at the Ski Patrol Booth during the Toronto Ski+Snowboard Show. Skiing and boarding are healthy outdoor winter activities enjoyed by millions of Canadians. Remember to always ride responsibly and look out for others. Think snow and have a great winter!
How to Register Your Used Equipment
Any used ski and snowboard equipment brought to the Swap must be in good to excellent condition to be accepted for sale. If the equipment is several years old, we strongly suggest you bring it to the Better Living Centre Exhibition Place grounds in the South East corner of the building (nearest Lakeshore Blvd.) on Thursday October 23rd only, 6 – 9 p.m. and have it looked at by our staff to see if it is suitable for resale.
We reserve the right to refuse any equipment that is deemed non-serviceable or un-saleable. Please note that on October 24th, you will have to pay show admission to drop off your equipment and entry may be gained at the main entrance. We only accept equipment Thursday and Friday during the hours specified. Generally, older “straight skis” are no longer in demand, regardless of condition and are not accepted for resale. Only skis, boots and snowboards will be accepted for the swap. We do not accept clothing, poles or loose items (i.e.: bindings). The Ski Patrol reserves the right to refuse any equipment deemed unsuitable.
There is a $5.00 registration charge per item and a 25% selling commission (before taxes) on all sales. The selling price is set by the owner of the equipment and the price may not be changed once it has been set and accepted. Online tracking of sold items. Equipment not sold at the Toronto Ski and Snowboard Show will be entered into the Barrie Ski Swap the following weekend.
Things you must decide prior to entering your equipment:
