For parents, leasing is one of the smartest moves. Kids grow quickly, and buying new skis every year just doesn’t make sense. Leasing through Hickory & Tweed gives families:
Cost savings — pay once for the season instead of investing in equipment that may only fit for a year.
Safety & performance — equipment is expertly fitted and maintained, so kids (and adults) ski more comfortably and confidently.
Convenience — no deposit required, and you can return gear at season’s end hassle-free.
Families from Armonk, Chappaqua, Bedford, Greenwich, and beyond return year after year because the leasing program takes the stress out of gearing up for ski season.
The Tent Sale is more than just a shopping trip. For many Westchester and Fairfield County families, it’s the moment that signals winter is coming. Parents swap stories in the tent, kids get excited about their first runs of the season, and everyone walks away knowing they’re ready for cold-weather adventures.
It’s also a practical choice: the discounts on quality ski wear and rentals make the sport more accessible for families who want to ski without overspending.
If this is your first time at the Hickory & Tweed Tent Sale, here’s what to know:
Parking: There’s plenty of street and public parking in downtown Armonk, but it fills up quickly during peak hours.
Best Day to Visit: Friday and Saturday morning usually offer the best mix of inventory.
Family-Friendly: Don’t hesitate to bring kids along. The staff are used to helping families and making fittings quick and stress-free.
While the Tent Sale focuses on last season’s apparel and gear, Hickory & Tweed also stocks the latest equipment inside the shop. Families often mix and match: they’ll pick up discounted clothing outside, then step inside to check out the newest skis, boots, or accessories.
Staff can also help you understand what’s changed in ski technology over the past year — whether it’s lighter boots, improved bindings, or new fabrics in winter outerwear.
For more than six decades, Hickory & Tweed has been at the heart of the local ski community. Families from Westchester, Greenwich, and the surrounding towns have made this their go-to ski shop. The Tent Sale itself has become a community gathering — part bargain hunt, part tradition, part celebration of the ski lifestyle.
That’s why so many people say: once you’ve shopped Hickory & Tweed, you’ll never go anywhere else.
