COS Ski Fest FAQs
When is COS Ski Fest 2026?
COS Ski Fest takes place over two weekends: October 31, November 1, November 7, and November 8, 2026. The event runs from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day at Rocky Mountain Ski + Sport in Colorado Springs.
Is COS Ski Fest free to attend?
Yes! COS Ski Fest is free to attend. Come shop the ski and snowboard swap, check out local vendors, grab some food, and get ready for winter with us.
Is all of the good gear going to be gone the first weekend?
No! We are intentionally planning COS Ski Fest as a two-weekend event, not one big sale followed by a weekend of leftovers.
The RMSS team will continue pulling and replenishing equipment for the November 7–8 weekend, giving shoppers another opportunity to find skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, and other gear.
Of course, individual items are one-of-a-kind and can sell at any time, so if you see something you love, grab it.
Will there be kids' ski and snowboard gear?
Absolutely.
Making skiing and snowboarding affordable for families is a huge part of why we’re doing COS Ski Fest. We'll have kids' skis, snowboards, boots, and other equipment available in a range of sizes and price points.
Will you have gear available during both weekends?
Yes! We are planning inventory for both COS Ski Fest weekends, so November 7 and 8 are not simply a leftover sale from the first weekend. We’ll be pushing additional RMSS equipment out for both swaps.
Can I bring consignment gear during Ski Fest?
No. October 28 is the final day for consignment drop-off.
We need time to inspect, organize, price, and prepare equipment before Ski Fest begins on October 31, so we cannot accept additional consignment equipment once the drop-off period closes.
What CAN'T I sell on Consignment?
We will not accept used clothing or items that have been worn directly against the skin, including base layers, socks, gloves, mittens, hats, helmets, and goggles.
We also cannot accept equipment that is damaged, unsafe, nonfunctional, excessively worn, older than 10 years, or otherwise unsuitable for resale.
What CAN I sell on Consignment?
We can accept eligible ski and snowboard hardgoods such as skis, snowboards, ski boots, snowboard boots, bindings, poles, that is not older than 10 years.
All equipment must be in safe, functional, and sellable condition and is subject to approval by the RMSS team for any circumstance.
Can I sell my own ski or snowboard equipment at the swap?
Yes! COS Ski Fest will include a consignment ski and snowboard swap.
Bring eligible equipment to Rocky Mountain Ski + Sport between October 21 and October 28, 2026.
Once approved, we’ll put your equipment out for sale during COS Ski Fest.
What can I expect to find at COS Ski Fest?
A LOT of gear. We’ll have skis, snowboards, ski boots, snowboard boots, bindings, kids gear, accessories, new equipment, used equipment, demo gear, and consignment equipment available throughout the event. You’ll also find local vendors, food, giveaways, and more.
How affordable will the gear be?
Affordability is a huge part of COS Ski Fest. We’ll have ski and snowboard boots starting as low as $3, skis and snowboards starting as low as $29, and snowboard bindings starting as low as $29.99. We’ll also have equipment at a variety of other price points for beginners through experienced skiers and riders.
