The Canadian Ski Patrol has not been immune to the financial downfalls that Covid-19 has brought to many industries.  As a not-for-profit organization, and a registered charity we rely heavily on our fundraising efforts, mainly our Winter Extreme Ski and Board Swaps.   We usually hold two swaps each year (Vancouver and Abbotsford).  Last year we canceled both events due to Covid-19 which was a big hit to our finances.  This year we are lucky to be able to hold our Vancouver Show (Abbotsford is still cancelled).  Many similar shows have been cancelled all across the country as the fourth wave hits regions areas hard, because of this, the Vancouver show will be the “largest of its kind in Canada this year”

 

We make it affordable to upgrade your gear with safety inspected equipment great for families while supporting first aid and rescue services by the Canadian ski patrol. You can consign your gear and upgrade to your new requirements.

 

Exhibitors include – Big White Ski Resort – It’s the Snow, Silver Star Mountain Resort, Manning Park Resort, Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports, Discover Canada Tours, The Canadian Ski Patrol, and Konnect Adventure Technologies.
