Donate Your Ski Uniform to SWAG

As a former ski instructor will tell you, sometimes those uniforms can be waste. Not only do they change each year, but what do your garb when you aren’t an instructor anymore? SWAG (Sharing Warmth Around the Globe) is a program developed by the National Ski Areas Association and is “dedicated to the distribution of retired ski resort uniforms to those in need in cold weather countries throughout the world.” Thousands of garments are recycled each year and sent to countries that are in need. Thankfully we see that many resorts in the Unites States take part in this program, however we do see a few of our favorite mountains missing. ::Sharing Warmth Around the Globe
