JACKSON, Wyo. — After a year’s hiatus, the Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club (JHSC) is back with their Thai Me Up Ski & Gear Swap this morning Oct. 16 at the Heritage Arena.

Doors opened this morning at 7 a.m. for early bird admission. The line at the door began forming early with people vying for the first access to gear. Not so early bird admission began at 8:30 a.m. and by 9:30 a.m. it is only $1 to enter or free with a JHSC card or JHMR pass.

Spread out across the Arena, skis, snowboards, bindings, boots, outerwear, goggles, helmets, gloves, socks and backpacks are available.

It’s not too late, the sale ends today at 2 p.m.

Pick-up for unsold items is between 3-5 p.m. today. All leftover gear is donated and immediately leaves Teton County. Unsold gear can go to Headwall Sports starting Monday, Oct. 18.
