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 skiand 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.
Dig up the family and head to the Dungeon for used and new ski and snowboard gear priced so low it’s frightening. Wausau’s biggest ski sale features discounted outerwear, sportswear and footwear for fall and winter too.
Dungeon Sale is Wausau’s most spirited ski event! If you’re brave enough to head to the basement of our 120- year-old building, you’ll find frighteningly good deals on used and new ski and snowboard equipment. Shop for the entire family: novice and expert skiers and snowboarders, young and old, plus clothes and shoes for those who love snow as those who don’t.
Shep’s accepts used, healthy ski gear through October 10th for consignment sale. We help price it for you and keep only 10% consignment fee (when swaps keep 20%). After your used items sell, you’ve got ‘Shep’s Bucks’ store credit to use toward the purchase of any of our products or services.
Used gear is set up alongside our own inventory of new gear (left over from last season) to make it east to shop for the best value and best equipment for your needs. We adjust the ski bindings to your unique setting criteria, for only $10.
Kids gear goes fast, as do freestyle (twin tip) skis, so most year’s there is a line at the door before our Wednesday morning opening at 9:00am. Have no fear, there is usually enough selection to satisfy shoppers all through the five-day event. The basement is stocked with Alpine Ski, X-C Ski and Snowboard equipment. (No advance sales and no holding equipment. First come, first shop!)
You’ll want to shop upstairs too, where the latest 2018-19 gear is also on sale along with outerwear, sportswear and accessories like helmets, goggles, wax, tuning supplies and more. You can even combine the great used gear you find in the Dungeon with new equipment from upstairs at Shep’s low “package price.” All clothing and accessories are at least 20% off during Dungeon Sale and we’ve got lots of other great specials going on.
If you’re planning to hit the slopes of Granite Peak or mountains farther away, the trails at Nine Mile Forest or points north, or just want to stay warm in trend setting fashions and footwear, we’ll see you at Dungeon Sale in Downtown Wausau.
ps You may have heard we are haunted. Have no fear, our spirits are friendly.
