Dungeon 2025: Wausau’s Biggest Ski Sale is Oct 20-25
Paying too much for ski gear will haunt you all season. Shep’s has wicked deals for the whole family!
Why torture your wallet by ghosting this sale?
You’ll find wicked low prices on used and new ski and snowboard gear, plus clearance-priced outerwear, clothes, footwear and winter accessories during our most popular annual event. This is in addition to 20% off 25/26 must-have soft goods from the premium brands you love us for. In summary, the entire store is deeply discounted before the snow even flies.
Yes, new 25/26 ski and snowboard equipment is on sale too! Shepherd & Schaller Package Pricing (you can call it bundling) allows you to pay the lowest possible price on all new ski and snowboard necessities including skis, boards, boots, bindings and poles. (Hint: our prices are so low we can’t advertise specifics here or at shepssports.com, where you can preview what’s new this season.) Helmets and Goggles will be 20% off. Package Discount Pricing is available year-round, but prices go up after Dungeon Sale. Shop now!
You can combine used and new equipment to create your perfect ski or snowboard package. You’ll get our lowest price on each item.
Binding adjustments are $15 on Dungeon Sale in-store purchases. (Bring your ski boots along if you aren’t buying new ones. We need them for new mounts and adjustments.)
Kid’s gear and outerwear is among our most popular categories. We have a great selection, so don’t sweat it if you can’t visit until later in the week. No appointment needed.
Have something to sell on consignment? Here’s how:
Drop off healthy, clean used skis, snowboards, boots and poles through Oct 10, 2025. 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 or non-indemnified gear for consignment.
What’s it like to shop Dungeon Sale?
It’s located on our 3rd floor. If stairs aren’t your thing, we’ll bring the deals to you on the main floor. You’ll get one-on-one expert advice to find and fit the best ski and snowboard gear for your needs and budget. Scare up some savings on clothing, footwear and accessories on the main floor and Clearance Balcony while you wait for a Shep’s associate to escort you to the Dungeon or assist with new equipment. Sign-in when you arrive and we’ll assist asap.
What else do I need to know?
- Shop Monday-Saturday 10am – 5pm (We’re open late on Thursday 10/23/25 until 8pm.)
- We don’t allow pre-sales or pre-shopping. That would be monstrously unfair.
- We don’t accept returns of consigned gear after purchase.
- We don’t allow Dungeon gear to be put on hold (used gear belongs to its’ owners and they want it to sell!)
- If you’re shopping for someone who can’t attend, please bring shoe size, height, weight, age and, for children, a tracing of their footprint.
- Our Dungeon equipment inventory is available after ski swap season. Shop it again after 1/2/26.
- Customer Account Balances expire five years from issuing. This includes Gift Cards, Warranty Refunds, Consignment Sale Account Credit and any others.
