Winter Consignment Guidelines

Skis

  • Manufactured within the last 10 years (ideally 5 years).

  • No sidewall, edge, or serious topsheet/base damage.

  • Bindings must be indemnified (certified by the manufacturer).

    • If skis are over 10 years old, bindings are typically no longer indemnified, meaning shops—including Sports Plus—cannot adjust them for a skier’s boot.

  • Unmounted skis may have no more than two previous binding mounts.

  • Not accepted: Telemark equipment or junior racing skis.

Ski Boots

  • Manufactured within the last 10 years (ideally 5 years).

  • No rear-entry boots.

  • All buckles, straps, and closures must function properly.

  • Toes and heels must not be worn past the replaceable plates.

    • If wear extends into the actual boot (even slightly), we cannot accept them.

  • Liners must be clean, intact, and free of rips, tears, or rodent evidence.

  • Not accepted: Telemark boots. Boots with SureFoot liners also are not accepted.

Ski Bindings

  • We do not accept unmounted ski bindings on consignment.

Ski Poles

  • Must be straight and undamaged.

  • Wrist straps and baskets must be attached.

Snowboards

  • We prefer modern rocker shapes over older camber styles.

    • To identify: place the board flat and step between the binding areas.

      • If it compresses significantly, it’s likely an older camber board with low demand.

  • No sidewall, edge, or serious topsheet/base damage.

Snowboard Bindings

  • Manufactured within the last 5–7 years.

  • Must include baseplates.

  • Buckles and straps must be in good working order.

  • No cracks.

Snowboard Boots

  • Must be in good working order, free of rips, tears, or rodent evidence.

  • BOA systems preferred over traditional laces.

  • Boots should still be stiff enough to support the wearer.

Snowshoes

  • Bindings must be fully functional.

  • No cracks, rips, or tears in the canvas or frame attachment points.

  • Traction cleats must not be overly worn.

Nordic / Cross-Country Gear

  • We accept waxless (fish scale) skis.

  • Classic skis accepted; skate skis generally not.

  • Binding types: NNN or NNNBC only.

    • We no longer accept SNS variants (SNS Profil, SNS Pilot, SNS BC, etc.).

Clothing

  • Accepted through December 31, 2025.

    • After this date, we will not accept used clothing for the remainder of the 2025–2026 season.

  • Includes jackets, pants, gloves, goggles, and helmets.

    • We do not accept base layers or mid-layers—outerwear only.

  • Items must be freshly washed and dried.

    • No stains, rips, tears, broken zippers, or wet items.

  • Clothing should be manufactured within the last 5–7 years (style matters!).

    • Exceptions may be made for desirable retro items.

  • Goggles: lenses should be free of major scratches; straps must retain elasticity.

  • Helmets: must be manufactured within the last 5 years, with the manufacture date sticker visible.

Note

Stay tuned—policies may be adjusted as the season progresses.
