LUDLOW, Vt. – The 2025 Okemo Mountain School (OMS) Ski and Snowboard Swap, which took place at the Okemo Mountain Resort from Nov. 21-23, raised over $40,000 for OMS, more than $2,500 over our previous record amount. The swap proceeds are used to help keep OMS’ tuition as affordable as possible for all students. 2025 swap attendees found outstanding deals on new and used winter outdoor gear, including race and recreational skis, bindings, and boots, snowboards and snowboard equipment, winter clothing, helmets, goggles, gloves, snowshoes, and more.
“OMS gratefully acknowledges the many volunteers who generously donated their time, as well as the Okemo resort staff who went above and beyond their regular duties to support this event,” said Mariel Meringolo, Head of School at OMS. “This swap plays a vital role in helping us keep OMS’ tuition as affordable as possible, and its success would not have been possible without this incredible community effort. Our entire school community deeply appreciates everyone’s hard work and support.”
