Drop off times for equipment to sell are from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, November 4, 2017. NEW THIS YEAR: PPST will be implementing a new and automated online process for selling items at this year’s ski sale! This will reduce lines during the check in process and waiting time after the sale is over. Participants will be able to sign-in online, enter the items to be sold before sale day, get hourly updates during the ski sale as items are sold, and receive a check in the mail for the merchandise sold after the sale automatically.
Sunday, November 5, 2017 is the last day to purchase Pats Peak Season Passes for up to a $40 discount. The price will then go up to $549 from $529 for an Adult Unlimited Season Pass and the price of a Junior Unlimited Season Pass goes to $489 from $449. Other season pass options are available.

“The Ski and Snowboard Sale has lots of new equipment from some great shops or new to you equipment in the consignment sale area,” says Jim Wall, Pats Peak Events Director. “Even if you don’t ski, it’s a fun event to hang out, take in the beautiful views of the mountain and enjoy the activities at the Octoberfest celebration.”
