I went to our local ski swap at Ski Sundown over the weekend to get my son some new ski boots. After looking through the racks for a while and trying on several boots my wife came across some brand new Full Tilt kids boots with Intuition liners, in his size, for $30. I don't get the impression that these are the best kids boot out there, but they fit and he liked how they looked, plus did I mention they were brand new? We also found a lightly use kids Transpak for $10. We always seem to make out alright at the swaps, but this was one of the better years.

Anyone else come across any good deals at ski swaps this year?

2 pr kids skis and 1pr boots, my fiancees 10 year old skis, some jackets I never wear. The kids stuff I price kind of high. Doesn't sell right away, but by the final day it goes because it's in great shape and there's not much else of quality left.

For those looking for a schedule of ski swaps, I added several to my Skiing on the Cheap calendar.

You can sort out just the swaps using the tag.
