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!

Dungeon Sale took place in our creepy basement for 30+ years. Shop our spacious “Tower” this year, where our largest-ever selection of used and new past-season slope gear waits. The entire store hosts spirited discounts during the annual event, including new 25/26 inventory. Our biggest event of the year!

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.

324 Scott St, Wausau, WI 54403. Street and on-site parking available.

Generations, Properly Outfitted.

Experience matters.

The right preparation makes your time outdoors better. We’re a specialty outdoor store built on technical expertise, careful curation, and long-term relationships. Since 1949, Shepherd & Schaller has equipped generations of skiers and outdoor enthusiasts.

What began with leather boots and wooden snowshoes has evolved into a carefully curated collection of alpine equipment, performance apparel, and outdoor essentials chosen for one reason: they perform when it matters.

Seventy-seven years later, we remain committed to doing it right, in store and at shepssports.com.

Here are a few uniquely Shep’s opportunities to save while prepping for the outdoors:

Shep’s Last Call Loft Collection

The outdoor clothing, accessories and footwear brands you love are discounted 25-70% on our second floor year-round. The Loft features clothing and footwear for adults plus outerwear for kids. We source premium brand special buys that are featured only in our downtown Wausau, Wisconsin store. You’ll also find final-sale outdoor lifestyle items to curate your at-home chalet.

Events and promotions

Our social media keeps you up to date on seasonal and special events and discounts like these.

Some, like Dungeon Sale and Sidewalk Sale have made us a Northwoods institution.

Our famous annual in-store “Dungeon Sale” features used and new ski equipment for adults and kids. You can shop this selection year round (mostly.)

Thoughtfully Curated. Responsibly Chosen.

We prioritize quality over quantity. Performance over trends. Longevity over disposability.

Many of the brands we carry share our commitment to durable design, organic and recycled materials.

Prepare Deliberately.

Whether you’re building your ski setup, refining your layering system, or preparing for the next season on trail or water, our role is simple:

Guide you well.
Fit you precisely.
Equip you confidently.

We look forward to helping you prepare and providing outstanding value and service. Call Monday-Saturday 10a-5p CST for friendly, expert support (715) 845-5432.
