Pretty good list of Ski Swaps below. Also some questions...
Can anyone tell me if the deals are good at Sun and Ski's (formerly Ski Chalet) "Dilly in Chantilly"? I'm not looking for great equipment but cheap equipment. This does not sound like a traditional ski swap where you buy used equipment from other skiers. It seems like Ski Chalet's leftover equipment at discounted prices?
While Frederick MD's Under The Sun website is still up I think they are out of business, they were closed last year but they had hoped to re-opening, any rumors on them? http://www.utssports.com;
http://www.yelp.com/biz/under-the-sun-sports-frederick-2 Bikle's in Hagertown MD is changing ownership and don't have any details on a swap. Anyone who is on facebook want to prod about whether they are having a swap?

Year Round Deals:
-Baltimore Ski Warehouse: Glen Burnie MD Not a swap or special but they sell mostly used equipment and rentals for pretty low prices (not ski swap low). I bought from here and I found a good selection and good help.

http://www.alpineskishop.com/ -Baltimore Ski Swap: Towson MD Sat Nov 10 (9-3 PM) $2 - Sun 11 (10-2 PM) Free. This event is at an armory and seems to be big with a mix of regular folks but more professionals selling used equipment
http://baltimoreskiswap.com/ . Most comments are based on me going a couple years back in the waning hours of Sunday so many sellers might have packed up and left but still found some good deals, some deals in hindsight that were just ok (once again I'm looking for rock bottom prices).
