About the Resale
The Hoofer Ski and Snowboard Resale is the largest sale of its kind in the Midwest. Vendors bring in skis, snowboards, apparel, and related items, coupled with all the equipment that the public brings in, to produce one amazing sale. Prices are significantly lower than retail.
If you are selling your own skis or equipment, you can drop it off and "forget" about it for the weekend. We have salesmen on site to help sell your skis!
Last year’s sales topped $325,000; proceeds help fund the Hoofer Alpine and Nordic competitive teams as well as the general Ski and Snowboard Club, including the Rail Jam. It also pays for annual free ski trips for local non-profit groups such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Girls, Inc.
We accept cash, checks, Mastercard & Visa.
The sale is held at Union South, 1308 West Dayton Street, Madison, WI
