OMS raises over $29,000 with its Okemo Ski and Snowboard Swap!

This year’s Okemo Ski and Snowboard Swap raised over $29,000 for Okemo Mountain School.  The proceeds from the Swap will go towards operating costs in order to keep tuition as affordable as possible for all students.  The event was extremely well attended this year and customers seemed quite pleased with their purchases, finding outstanding deals on all sorts of new and used winter outdoor gear!

Mariel Meringolo, Head of School and organizer of the event, would like to gratefully acknowledge all of volunteers who donated their time, as well as all of the mountain personnel who went above and beyond their normal duties to provide support to the event. Without all of the volunteers and the help of the mountain, the Ski Swap could never have been such a success. Everyone’s efforts are greatly appreciated by the entire school community!

And since it is never too soon to look to the future, mark your calendars for the 2020 Okemo Ski and Snowboard Swap:  

Equipment Drop-off: November 14th, 15th, and 18th

Swap Open for Business: November 20th-22nd
