ANNUAL SKI/SNOWBOARD SALE AND OKTOBERFEST RETURNS TO PATS PEAK ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2026

Pats Peak is getting ready to celebrate the upcoming winter season with the return of its annual Ski Team Ski and Snowboard Sale and Oktoberfest celebration on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

“For 55 years, the Ski and Snowboard Sale has been a great opportunity for skiers and riders to find new and used gear while supporting the Pats Peak Ski Team,” says Kris Blomback, General Manager of Pats Peak. “Pair that with Oktoberfest, German food, Samuel Adams beer, live music and activities for the whole family, and it’s a fun way to spend the day at the mountain while getting excited for winter.”

This year marks the 55th Annual Ski and Snowboard Sale, running from 11 AM to 3 PM. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Pats Peak Ski Team, a non-profit supporting junior alpine racers. Those interested in selling equipment must register by Friday, October 30, at patspeakracing.org and drop off items at Pats Peak on Saturday, October 31, from 10 AM to 3 PM.

Admission to Oktoberfest is free, with festivities running from 11 AM to 5 PM. Samuel Adams Oktoberfest is the presenting sponsor of the celebration, featuring live music from The Bavarian Brothers Band, sponsored by Pepsi, a beer stein-holding contest, authentic German food and a festive beer garden featuring Samuel Adams beer selections and more.

Families will also find plenty to enjoy between 11 AM and 3 PM, including bounce houses by VI Party Rentals, keg bowling, face painting by Patches the Clown, sponsored by White Park Dental, and appearances by Pats Peak mascots Boris and Snowball. Additional entertainment includes a Woodsmen Show sponsored by Edmunds Ace Hardware and an axe throwing trailer by Rugged Axe, sponsored by Little Charlotte's Kettle Corn and Universal Windows Direct. Scenic chairlift rides will also be available, weather permitting.

Other proud sponsors of Oktoberfest include Grappone Automotive and MB Tractor & Equipment.

The Finish Line Ski & Board Shop will also offer discounts of 20% off storewide, along with special pricing on equipment servicing to help skiers and riders get their gear ready for the upcoming season.

Pats Peak Season Pass rates increase on November 4, making Oktoberfest weekend one of the final opportunities to purchase a 2026/2027 Season Pass at the current pricing.
