Shanty Creek – Antrim Ski Academy Ski Swap – November 29, 2014

The Antrim Ski Academy equipment & clothing sale is our biggest fundraiser
of the year and the proceeds go towards funding our scholarship program and helping to
support Antrim County high school ski teams.

CHECK IN
Friday, November 28 • 5 – 8pm
Bring in your equipment and clothing for placement in Saturday’s sale.
We will have experts on hand to help you price your items.
Late check in will be available Saturday morning from 8 – 10am,
but we encourage you to utilize Friday nights check-in.

We accept downhill, cross country and snowboard equipment, ski racks, ice skates
and roller blades. Bindings are accepted but must be mounted to a board.
Clothing, accessories and helmets are also accepted. The club will only accept
serviceable and sellable equipment. Please, no long straight skis.
Antrim Ski Academy will take a 20% commission on all sold goods.

SKI SWAP
Saturday, November 29 • 9am – 5pm
We have lots of quality equipment available all day Saturday and have a good selection
of kids skis and boots throughout the sale. If you can’t make it early, you will still have the
opportunity to find some really good deals.

EQUIPMENT PICK UP
Saturday, November 29 • 5 – 6pm
Any equipment not picked up will become the property of
Antrim Ski Academy and may be disposed of. Sorry, no exceptions.
We will mail out any checks that are not picked up.

PROCEEDS FROM THE EVENT ARE USED FOR:
Funding 100% of our scholarship programs. Each season ASA accepts 10-15 scholarship students into our programs, at no cost to the scholarship recipients.

Purchase of new equipment for ASA, including gates, training gates, timers, etc.

Offsetting the costs of ski and snowboard clinics. The fees charged for most of our programs
do not cover the direct costs of coaching and additional funds are required.

In exchange for assisting in running the swap, ASA donates a portion
of the swap proceeds to Antrim County high school race teams.
