I have said this for years, if you want to love winters in Maine you need to dress up get out and have some winter fun.

I love walking on a snow covered landscape but for those who require a little more excitement this Saturday is your chance to take to the slopes or the snow covered fields for a bargain.

Each year the Penobscot Valley Ski Club hold a huge sale that boasts 15 vendors and over 4000 items for downhill and cross-country skiing. Items include gear and apparel is new and used.  In fact if you have something to sell you can drop it off at Bangor Parks and Rec on Friday Oct 16 between 5 and 7.  You submit it for $1. Name your price, and the club sells it for you, less a 15 percent commission.

This year’s PVSC ski sale will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Bangor Parks and Recreation building at 647 Main St. in Bangor.

Funds raised by the sale will go help raise funds for this Nordic ski trail grooming, as well as the club’s many Nordic and downhill ski programs for children and adults.
