The Lake Oswego Ski and Snowboard Swap and Sale began in 1973. Today it is cooperatively run by the high school ski racing teams at both Lakeridge and Lake Oswego High School.
Proceeds from the sale benefit these two teams, helping to offset the cost of buses, coaches, and gear necessary for the high school athletes to competitively race during the ski race season as part of the Three Rivers High School league in the state of Oregon.
