Ready or not, winter is coming! At Aspen Valley Ski &amp; Snowboard Club, we\u2019ve been preparing for winter for a while now between dryland training, professional development and training trips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In celebration and preparation of winter, we\u2019re excited to host our annual Ski Swap on Market Street this Saturday, Oct. 5 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Willits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Not sure what to expect? Here are five things you\u2019ll find at the Ski Swap:<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">1) Vendors from all over the Valley<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">We have an incredible lineup of local vendors including Aspen Bikes, Basalt Bike &amp; Ski, Casual Culture, Corbeaux Clothing, CP Sports NA, Foot Foundation, Hamilton Sports, Incline Ski &amp; Board Shops, Ro + Fern, Performance Ski, Sidewinder Sports, Ski Butlers, Snowmass Sports, Strafe, and Summit Canyon Mountaineering. There will be great deals on winter goods for kids and adults, and for the first time we\u2019ll have bike gear, too!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">2) Individuals selling awesome gear<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In addition to the commercial vendors, many individuals and families will be selling their new or lightly-used gear! This is not your average ski swap \u2014 not only will you have the opportunity to meet professional athletes, but you could end up with an amazing top-of-the-line setup that they\u2019re offloading! Whether you\u2019re looking for resort or backcountry gear, accessories or soft goods, our individual vendors have a lot to offer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">3) Friends old and new!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In a lot of ways, the ski swap feels like homecoming. Friends who travel for the offseason have returned with the winter weather moving in and our minds are on the lifts starting to spin. AVSC athletes, alumni, coaches, parents and more will be gathering on Market Street celebrating the start of winter together. Thankfully, the location makes it easy to grab lunch or a drink to catch up \u2014 once you\u2019ve had a chance to shop, check out one of the local businesses for some food and drinks!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">4) ASK Registration<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Have a little one in your life that wants to learn how to ski or snowboard or has already learned and wants to continue developing their skills in a recreational group setting? Meredith Elwell, director of AVSC\u2019s Aspen Supports Kids program, will have a table set up and be available to answer questions and get kids signed up for Aspen Supports Kids. ASK serves 1,600 athletes in ski and snowboard programs and runs out of Buttermilk, Highlands and Snowmass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">5) FUN!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Aside from the shopping, there\u2019s a lot of fun to be had! There will be a DJ, a bounce house and a bouncy jousting and boxing arena, giveaways every 30 minutes (including gear, gift cards and hotel stays), KSPN will be on air, and Lift-Up will be collecting dry and canned food donations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Every purchase made at the ski swap benefits AVSC\u2019s scholarship program. Last year, the club gave over $1.8 million in scholarships and subsidies to our 2,300 athletes. Your support makes it possible for us to do everything in our power to make mountain sports accessible to all youth in the Roaring Fork Valley. So whether you\u2019re selling gear, buying gear, or just swinging by to say hello, we hope to see you on Saturday and thank you for your support as we head into winter!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><em>Clubhouse Chronicles is a behind-the-scenes column written by the Aspen Valley Ski &amp; Snowboard Club that runs periodically in the Outdoors section.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/clubhouse-chronicles-what-you-will-find-at-the-avsc-ski-swap-on-saturday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard ClubCourtesy Shoppers take part in last year&#8217;s Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club ski swap in Willits.Courtesy Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club executive director Mark GodomskyAustin Colbert\/The Aspen Times Show CaptionsHide Captions The high peaks have seen their first snow, the leaves have turned yellow and the calendar has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2449523","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-27 20:00:05","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2449523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2449523"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2449523\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2449523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2449523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2449523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
