Dungeon Sale is Wausau’s biggest annual ski consignment sale! Shop 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday, Oct 23-28, 2023.
Dig up the family and head to the Dungeon. If you dare
Frighteningly low prices on used and new ski and snowboard gear plus clearance priced clothes, winter boots, accessories and outerwear in addition to discounts on ski shop services is what you’ll find during our most popular annual event. Kid’s gear is among our most popular categories and we have a great selection of sizes.
Have something to sell? Drop off healthy, clean used skis, snowboards, boots and poles through Oct 7, 2023. After passing a quick inspection by our Pros, they’ll be part of our Dungeon Sale inventory. We help price it for you and keep only a 10% consignment fee when it sells, then give you Shep’s Store Credit to use toward the purchase of any of our products or services. We don’t accept clothing for consignment.
We’ve permanently moved our famously low-priced ski and snowboard gear from our basement Dungeon to the 3rd floor Tower, where we have more room for all the awesome gear you’re excited to see. If stairs aren’t your thing, we’ll bring the deals to you on the main floor.
Sorry, we don’t allow shoppers in the Dungeon Sale without a Shep’s team member. You can shop our discounts on the main floor and Clearance Balcony if you find you have to wait for a Shep’s associate for a short time.
Is new 23/24 gear on sale too?
You bet! Our “Package Pricing” (you can call it bundling too) allows you to pay the lowest possible price on all new ski and snowboard necessities including skis, boards, boots, bindings and poles. Helmets and Goggles will be discounted as well.
Combine used and new items to create your ski or snowboard bundle/package. You’ll get our lowest price on each item.
Deeply discounted outerwear, clothing, footwear and accessories will be located in our Clearance Balcony during Dungeon Sale. Plus you’ll get 15% off new 23/24 must-haves including goggles, helmets, clothes and footwear.
What else do I need to know?
Please shop in person another time if you have symptoms of any illness. There’s plenty of gear available. Apart from off-site ski swap dates, you can shop our used-gear inventory any time beginning Oct 23, 2023.
Race Gear is limited again this year. Please contact us if you’re interested in race goodies and meet with our race experts another time. (The Dungeon Sale is likely not your best option — we have other special arrangements for race team members!)
Binding Adjustments for Dungeon Sale downhill skis will be $15 (Bring your ski boots along if you aren’t buying new ones.)
Shop Monday-Saturday 10am – 5pm
We don’t allow pre-sales or pre-shopping. That would be monstrously unfair.

Warranty
You slipped on a banana peel and ripped your pants when you fell. It took a lot of tries to master that Half Cab Mute Grab and you have a cracked ski edge to show for it. Your daughter shut the car door on her new jacket and now the zipper is broken. Something went sideways in the laundry. Oops! That’s ok, you’ll get a new one under warranty, right?
Sorry, you likely won’t. But if said pants, jacket or ski has a manufacturer’s defect in materials or workmanship within a limited time period it’s a different story. If that is the case, we’ll help you through the processes of requesting warranty repair or replacement by the manufacturer. Another benefit of shopping at Shep’s!
Warranty Request Process:
Shepherd and Schaller and shepssports.com do not provide warranty coverage, with a few exceptions. Warranty is provided by the manufacturer.
Visit your manufacturer’s website for their warranty details and limitations. Follow the steps they require.
Bring the item in question to Shepherd and Schaller (or ship it) along with your receipt.
Pay the outbound shipping if we are shipping it for you. The Manufacturer will pay the inbound shipping for repair or replacements.
Provide us with a phone number and email address so we can notify you of the warranty request results.
Allow time for processing. Off-season warranties are typically resolved within a week. In-season resolutions take longer, often three weeks to a month.
We reserve the right to charge (or up-charge) a labor fee to process warranty applications for items not purchased from us. We also reserve the right to refuse warranty service for items not purchased from us, regardless of brand.
Things we see that are not covered by warranty:
Melted or stained fabric
Tears in fabric not on a seam
Ski top sheet damaged by metal ski edges (don’t clank your skis together on the ski lift!)
Ski boots soles worn down by sidewalks are parking lots
Bent or broken ski Binding Brakes. These are never covered by warranty.
