ROCKPORT —  Kids outgrown their ski equipment? Got old ice skates kicking around the garage that you’ve been meaning to sell? Looking for some great deals to outfit the family for winter snow sports? If so, the annual Camden Hills Regional High School Ski Team Ski Sale at Camden Hills Regional High School Nov. 22 and 23 is the place.  The annual CHRHS Ski Team Ski Sale is one of the largest in the state and is an opportunity to make money on snow sport equipment that is outgrown or no longer used.

First Ever Early Bird Ski Swap Shopping

Win a chance to be one of five families to  get into the Ski Swap 20 minutes early to browse the gear in a semi­-private setting. Tickets go on sale at 8:15 a.m. outside the door at Camden Hills Regional High School and end at 8:35 a.m.; $5 per ticket or $20 for five.  Proceeds go to the Ragged Mountain Ski Club.

At the same time, there will be great deals on used equipment, such as skis (both nordic and alpine), boots, poles, snowboards, skates, helmets and car carriers.

Want to sell used equipment?
Preregister equipment online at https://sites.google.com/site/chrhsskisale.  Then, take the items to Camden Hills Regional High School Friday, Nov. 21 from 3 to 8 p.m. Set the price; the ski team keeps 25 percent and you get 75 percent. You can set a lower Sunday price for any items that do not sell on Saturday. On Sunday between noon and 1 p.m., pick up a check for 75 percent of what was sold and take home any items that didn’t sell.
