Hello,

I am new to the Boston area and was wondering when and where ski swaps for 2011-2012 ski season will be held.

Thanks for the help!

IIRC the Sugarbush swap is usually the weekend before they open. I think it may be on November 12-13th. Burke also has one, but I can't recall when it is.

And Pico is having theirs this weekend, September 30-October 2nd.

Are you volunteering?

On another forum I'm a member off, there is a way to setup a "wiki" for the 2nd post so that the community can edit it. that might be a good thing to do, not sure if I can find the plugin.
