Pioneer Midwest will accept trade in skis from other retailers. Credit amount will be determined based on condition, age, brand and model of skis, bindings, and boots.

 

Tips for maintaining equipment and preserving value

Avoid excessive walking on pavement with boots. This wears down the soles and collects road salt.

Always strap skis together when transporting skis in your ski bag.

Strap poles together inside your bag, reducing the risk of pole tips scratching your bases.

Learn proper waxing technique to avoid burning your bases.

 

* 60% trade in value for 1-year old skis and 50% trade in value for 2-year old skis is credited if brought in at least two days prior to the annual Pioneer Midwest Ski Swap and Sale in early November. Trade in value is based on normal wear and usage. Pioneer Midwest reserves the right to adjust the trade in discount if the equipment has had excessive wear or abuse. Skis with burned bases are ineligible for trade in.  Trade in is limited to one set of skis, bindings, and boots per transaction.
