The Bethel Outing Club Ski Sale happens the last weekend in October at the Gould Academy Field House on Church Street in Bethel--Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.  The BOC Ski Sale has provided a community service for 43 years by bringing new and used equipment from major ski shops and local and visiting skiers to one location, with all proceeds benefiting youth outdoor programming that is organized/supported by the Bethel Outing Club. The club keeps 20% of the sale price for each item that you sell and you get the rest. Donations of equipment are also welcome and support BOC's non-profit mission. In 2023 any used alpine gear that is donated to the sale and is not sold will be available to kids who have received a free ski pass to Sunday River through the River Fund Maine ski scholarship program or to Mount Abram through the efforts of Friends of Mt. Abram. We will also get cross country ski gear to kids who are participating on local school teams or in the Maine West Project Play/MKA program. We are extremely happy to support these efforts.
