anyone got any info on this bad boy? I know its the first weekend in september (labor day weekend)

can I bring stuff to sell there or is it only vendors and stuff. i hear there are some crazy deals and I wanna cash in on them and also sell some old skis of mine.

anyone working or has worked there in the past?

pretty sure its vendors only, and it is kinda overpriced for how most of the stuff is used, and everything is from like 3 seasons prior to the year they discount everything

actually most of the stuff is brand new. barely any of it is used. and you can find deals on some things but a lot of it is usually from 1 or 2 seasons ago. if you want twin twips the only things they really sell are 1080s and k2s maybe. i forget. but they have cheap ass jackets

yea cheap ass as in quality. i've heard denver has some ok deals that are gone by the first day, but after that it's all just a bunch of junk. the springs one is even worse. they had the 04/05 PEs last year for MORE than the 05/06s...

Denver one is alright, it's true that there isn't much in terms of twin tips. K2 and Salomon with some Troublemakers usually....

If you're looking for a quick way to make money work it, i made over a 1000 dollars in 5 days

Sniagrab is just the shit gart sports was unable to sell. Most of the skis suck, as do the boots and bindings (unless you like markers or low din sollys) that the sell there and there are not very many great deals.

the people they bring in don't really know shit about the ski equipment they are selling. the only good thing I have ever found at snigrabs are old k2 bump skis for like $30. That's really the only reason I go to snigrabs is to get bump skis, but I haven't seen any in the past few years, seems like I have brought all the old k2 outlaws left.

IMO, a better sale over the last two summers would be the Christy sports one weekend tent thing like the last week in august down at the Springs south store. I picked up 1080 boots for $160 (last pair). just get down there like the morning of the first day. I was gonna call a guy i know that works there to see when it starts exactly.

you can find gems if you go early and look hard. i found a pair of lange gx9's a few years ago for like $60. you can get old straight skis for like $10 too.

lots of damaged goods though too, so if you see a jacket that is sick and is dirt cheap, it's probably ripped or stained somewhere.
