Ski Sale Announcement
UPDATE! Huge thanks to everyone who supported the 2024 Ski Sale – either by volunteering, selling or buying! It is a key component of the Clubs fundraising which means we can delivery top-notch, affordable coaching. Look forward to seeing you next year to do it all again!
Very excited to announce the date of the next Cairngorm Ski Club Ski Sale on Saturday 9th November 2024.
Re-use and recycle…. That’s what we are all about now.
So let’s try and reuse and recycle our out-grown and no longer used snowsports kit. Make some money at the Cairngorm Ski Club Ski Sale and give your kit a new home!
Alternatively, grab yourself an absolute bargain. If you are looking for kids’ kit or some new race kit, it’s a great place to be. Or if you want to pick up a snowboard, some freestyle skis, or choose to “earn your turns” this year with some new touring kit, it’s all there at the CSC Snowsports Sale.
KEEP THE DATE FREE It’s the biggest ski sale in Scotland (probably)
Saturday 9th November 2024, Dalfaber Country Club, Aviemore

WHAT IS THE CAIRNGORM SKI CLUB SNOWSPORTS EQUIPMENT SALE?
The annual Cairngorm Ski Club Snowsports Equipment Sale offers Snowsports fans an excellent opportunity to buy and sell second hand and new ski and snowboard equipment and clothing. Here you can find a wide range of competitively priced equipment to suit all budgets. Goods can be closely inspected and boots tried for fit with ski club members and coaches are available for advice.
ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE CAIRNGORM SKI CLUB SALE HELP SUBSIDISE OUR CORE WINTER PROGRAMME, SUPPORTING ALL OUR YOUNG SKIERS.
DONATIONS
The club accepts donations of ski or snowboard equipment or clothing. Donations are sold with all proceeds going to the club and if donations do not sell the Club will dispose of them.
BUYERS
The sale takes place between 3:30pm and 5:30pm and a queue develops before doors open at 3:30pm. There is a small entrance charge for Adults (£1) but kids are free. If you are not sure about anything, Ski Club members will be available for advice. Payment is by cash or cheque only.
SELLERS
You can sell second hand and new ski and snowboard equipment and clothing and some try their luck with other outdoor gear. Please bear in mind that we can’t accept skinny skis, boots with obviously heavily worn toe or heel pieces, or skis with broken edges, unrepaired full thickness base damage or very bindings Other than these restrictions you can try your hand at selling anything as long as you pick it up if it’s not sold.
If you are intending to sell more than 80 items please contact John, the organiser, by email (sale@cairngormskiclub.co.uk), to discuss in advance, otherwise we can’t guarantee to accept all the items on the day.
Goods for sale should be dropped in between 9 am and 1:30 pm. Items are detailed, listed and tagged then placed on the sale floor by helpers. It costs £3.00 to enter each 20 items or less. The minimum price for goods is £6, less than this and we’ll accept the item as a donation.
Between 7:15 and 8:30 pm sellers can pick up their unsold items and collect their money. Changes introduced recently should ensure payout is quicker than before, and on arrival sellers will be given a list of their sold and unsold goods. Unsold items not picked up will be disposed of. 15% of sale price is retained by Cairngorm Ski Club to cover the cost of the sale and subsidise the club’s ski training programme.
Sellers can choose not to attend payout but have a bank transfer for the proceeds of sold items provided they are happy to donate unsold items to Cairngorm Ski Club.
