What is it
One weekend.
The whole season's gear.
The Tacoma Ski Swap is the South Sound's annual gathering for everyone who lives for winter. Local shops, brands, and neighbors bring thousands of new and used skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, and outerwear under one roof — at prices you won't find anywhere else.
Whether you're outfitting a first-time skier, upgrading your setup, or clearing out the garage and getting paid for it, the swap is where the Pacific Northwest mountain community kicks off the season.
