For 58 years, the Bridger Ski Foundation (BSF) has been offering the Bozeman community an affordable and accessible way to purchase winter gear. This November, BSF collected over 10,000 used items to be sold at its annual Ski Swap, according to the BSF website. BSF is a Bozeman-based nonprofit ski organization that provides and funds educational and competitive programs for all ages. The Ski Swap, which took place last weekend at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, is one way BSF raises funds to keep skiing accessible in the Gallatin Valley, according to its website. From Oct. 1 through Nov. 3, community members were allowed to register consignment items online for $1. Sellers dropped off items on Friday and 25 percent of all sales made during the weekend went directly to BSF. The remaining 75 percent of each sale will be mailed to the respective sellers, and any unsold items were picked up Sunday afternoon.
