BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - In preparation of colder weather, Ski Rack held their annual gear swap Saturday in Burlington.

Skiers and riders were able to buy gear at a discounted price, including skis, poles and helmets. Earlier in the week, Ski Rack collected items, allowing people to turn in gear they no longer want.

Mountain-goers said it makes an expensive sport more affordable.

“Just having the opportunity to look at pre-owned gear that’s still in really good shape at deeply discounted prices is the best way to keep things affordable,” said Seamus Madden of Burlington.

Other winter gear swaps are happening around the state this month for those who missed this event.
