WAITSFIELD SKI & SKATE SALE CELEBRATES 35 YEARS
Annual winter ritual set for Nov. 15 & 16
(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) — To celebrate 35 years of offering winter enthusiasts killer deals and an opportunity to sell their used gear, the Waitsfield Ski & Skate Sale is doing absolutely nothing! No changes, no big surprises, just the same well-oiled machine to kick off your stick season gear frenzy.
The Waitsfield School opens its doors to eager gear shoppers at 9:00 AM on Saturday, November 15th for the 35th annual Waitsfield Ski & Skate Sale. Sponsored by Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, this important Waitsfield Elementary School fundraiser is a great way to get yourself and your family ready for the winter season with apparel, accessories, boards, boots, skis, poles, skates, snowshoes, nordic, tele, backcountry and AT gear and much more for all ages and abilities.
Trusted outdoor retailers such as Nordic Barn, Alpine Ski Shop, Plymouth Ski and Sport and others will be selling their wares at some of the most competitive prices of the season. New and used equipment options abound with expert staff on hand to assist the young and old, the beginner or the expert, with all their winter needs.
The Waitsfield Ski and Skate Sale is the primary fundraiser for the Waitsfield PTA. Second only to the Warren 4th of July, the Waitsfield Ski & Skate Sale is the largest and longest running (35 years!) community event in the Mad River Valley, drawing thousands of shoppers annually over a two day period. Smack dab in the middle of stick season, the S&SS not only benefits the Waitsfield School (20% of sale proceeds goes to the PTA), but consignees also have the opportunity to make some money on their used gear. In addition, the valley benefits from the increased visitor traffic during what is typically a quiet time of year.
