Log onto www.bridgerskifoundation.org/skiswap and fill out the online form to enter. One entry per child. A multiple entry will disqualify all your entries.

WINNERS RECEIVE: free entry for themselves and one parent/guardian into the 2019 BSF Ski Swap and a $50 voucher that can be applied toward any purchase of youth ski and snowboarding equipment or clothing.
For a small fee, the BSF Nordic Coaches will wax your skis.
Saturday: Drop off your Nordic or Alpine skis as you leave the the checkout area of Ski Swap up until 3:00 p.m. Skilled waxers will get them ready for winter. Then, pick up your equipment, waxed and ready to go, at 406 Brewery later that day, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. (Not buying skis at the swap but still want a wax? Just drop them off at 406 Brewery between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday.)
Cost: Non-Flouro Tune is $20. Flouro Tune is $30.
Skis will be waxed by BSF coaches, including Nordic program director Andrew Morehouse, who, you know, spent several years waxing for the U.S. Ski Team on the World Cup!
All proceeds from waxing support a fund for BSF coaches' education. (For example, this fall, we were able to send two female coaches to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Symposium and the Women's Ski Coaching Association meeting.)
Become a member of the Bridger Ski Foundation. Bridger Ski Foundation members get in FREE and EARLY-- 9 am on Saturday! (An annual membership costs just $25 for an individual, $35 for partners, and $50 for a family. Plus you get all the other perks of a membership.) Learn more or purchase membership here.
Members can also opt to volunteer at the swap--do this and you get in two hours early!
p.s. The line to get in at 10 a.m. is several city blocks in length. A BSF membership helps you glide to the front.
