JUNIOR HAS A FIT
Youth Ski & Snowboard Trade-In Program
Welcome to Junior Has A Fit! Michigan's largest youth ski and snowboard trade-in program. What's it all about, you ask? Well, here at Boyne Country Sports, our passion for winter sports runs deep, and we know that investing in the right equipment is key to fostering one's love for the mountains. The Junior Has A Fit program is all about inspiring young skiers and riders to get out on the snow and have as much fun as possible. Our job is to equip them with industry-leading gear that's not only the proper fit, but will grow with them. And the best part? You'll enjoy incredible trade-in values that make upgrading more affordable than ever!
Equipping Junior Yearly Is Pricey, But We Are Changing That!
How Does It Work?
Joining is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Bring Junior to any Boyne Country Sports location to get properly fitted for a ski or snowboard package with one of our experienced team members.
- Purchase Junior's equipment and a one-time new membership fee of $40.*
- Once the season is finished, simply hang onto Junior's gear until August 1st when exchange dates become available by appointment. Upon exchange, we'll credit you 100% of the original purchase price towards new equipment. Schedule your appointment using our new online scheduling assistant. This user-friendly tool allows you to conveniently schedule your child's fitting appointment online, ensuring you get the perfect time that fits your busy schedule.
*Equipment fees vary based on the unique package per child
