Smart ways to gear up at Ski & Sport Shack
Junior Trade-In Program
Buy junior ski and snowboard gear new, then trade it back for up to 50% credit when your kid outgrows it. Covers all gear for ages 16 and under.
How the Trade-In Works
Three steps, three years of growing room.
Buy New
Buy your kid's gear new from us. The program covers all gear for ages 16 and under.
They Grow
Kids grow fast. Ski or ride the season, then bring the gear back when it no longer fits.
Trade Up
Bring it back for credit toward the next size up — 50% in year one, 30% in year two, 20% in year three.

Year Three — 20% Credit
In the third year the credit is 20% toward the next size up.
