Linz Skibasar fails: after 40 years a big loss for families

Linz Skibasar fails: after 40 years a big loss for families

skiing has developed into an expensive pleasure for many families in recent years. That is why markets are very popular for used ski equipment. Unfortunately, however, there are significant news for the winter sports fans in Linz: the large ski base, which should take place in the tip arena at the Linz Gugl, will not take place this year.

The reason for this is the withdrawal of an important partner who has contributed significantly to financing the event. Without this support, the Schiverein Linz cannot bear the high costs, especially the hall rental. The SkiBasar, which has existed for more than 40 years, usually attracts thousands of visitors. Every year up to 5,000 articles such as used skis, ski boots and ski clothing are sold.

History and organization of the Skibasar

The Skibasar is not just a market; He is a tradition in Linz. The event is organized by volunteers of the Linz Schiverein, who invest between 80 and 100 hours of their free time every year to set up the bazaar. These committed helpers are largely responsible for the fact that the market was so successful in the past.

For the planned date on November 8th and 9th, the organizers were looking forward to a profitable event. But the unexpected situation has now thwarted for the time being. The association was determined to maintain the traditional event and will now try to find a new partner for the next year to revive the Skibasar.

The search for a new partner is a top priority for the Schiverein. It is convinced that the SkiBasar should continue to remain an important part of the winter sports season in Linz in the future. The goal is to carry out the event again next year and continue the long tradition.

Although the failure is unfortunate this year, there is hope that the event can soon take place in full. Much of the Linz population appreciates the Skibasar and the opportunity to acquire high -quality equipment at lower prices. This passion for winter sports and the joint joy in the event could offer the best prerequisites to come together again in the future.
